uric acid and cholesterol, depending on the type of protein and other factors:

Plant based protein powder like pea , rice , soy generally low in purine and less likely to increase uric acid level
2. Whey Protein:
Whey protein may help lower cholesterol but high high doses can cause side effects
3. Protein intake:
High amounts of protein can lead to uric acid, which is problematic for people at risk of gout and hyperuricemia .
4. Other factors:
Some studies have associated with meat and seafood with high uric acid levels, while dairy intake has been found to decrease plasma uric acid level
