First of all why do you need to take protein powders when the requirements can be met with natural foods ? There are very good sources of proteins like eggs , fish , chicken if you are a non vegetarian and Sprouts, soy products, tofu, paneer, lentils etc if you are a vegetarian. Protein requirements also depends on the type of lifestyle you live. Taking unnecessary protein powders is not advisable.

Yes , you can take a scoop in a day along with fruits or with complex carbs , then it will help to reduce fat Because sometimes high intake of protein cause constipation and bloating To avoid this try to take it in the form of smoothies or overnight oatmeal or with coconut water , but do not forget to take natural sources of protein - like quinoa / jwoar / other millets for example foxtail millets/ amaranth / kodo millet For more information please consult us

Taking supplements can be harmful in the long run. Consuming whey protein can lead to acidity and constipation. You can complete your nutrient requirements with a proper balanced diet. Include protein rich sources like milk and dairy products, eggs, whole grains and cereals in your diet. But best part is if you can get your constitution done and go accordingly as every person has different body temperament and bodily analysis. So if we plan your diet on that basis that will be more helpful and accurate

Meet your Physician before starting any supplement. No supplement/ med is advised in the long run. Protein has to be derived from the diets comprising all nutrients (macros & micros). For personalised guidance contact directly. Thanks
