Taking whey protein long-term is generally safe for healthy individuals, provided it is used to supplement a balanced diet rather than replace it.
Quick Facts:
Dosage: Two scoops a day (one at breakfast and one post-workout) is a common practice for active individuals to meet their protein goals.
Balance: The key is to ensure you are also getting protein from whole food sources like eggs, chicken, paneer, or lentils.
Hydration: Always increase your water intake when consuming higher levels of protein to support your kidneys.
Important Note:
While generally safe, individual needs vary based on your body weight, activity level, and underlying health conditions (like kidney issues).

Whey Protein is safe to have but it should be taken according to your body weight requirements and intensity of workout you do, it's not about you avoid having food based protein options and having 2 scoops a day. You have to focus on completing your protein requirements with food and Diet and if not able to complete it then pair it with whey protein.
1 scoop is very much fine but for the 2nd scoop focus on the above factors.
