Is it safe to use protein supplements?
Is it totally safe to use protein supplements? I am working out in gym and my trainer insists on using protein supplements.
If I can use protein supplements, what precautions can I take? I have a distant cousin who says he had fertility issues because of taking protein supplements. Is there such risk?
