Are High Protein Diets Safe?

Journal International Society Sports Nutrition, 6:3, 2009
As found in Musclular Development Volume 46, Number 5, May 2009 Edition

The International Society Of Sports Nutrition - "Concerns that protein intake within this range (1.4-2.0g/kg of bodyweight per day) is unhealthy are unfounded in healthy, exercising individuals."

Does high protein intake interfere with calcium absorption? Only if calcium intake is severely low, otherwise it actually increases calcium absorption.

Do you need protein to grow muscle? YES! Do protein supplements help? YES

Eat real food, low fat protein sources and supplement with protein rich sports nutrition when needed, especially following exercise.
