Hi

Am concidering using whey protein to help me bulk up (im a pretty skinny guy at present). I just wanted to know whether it is 100 percent safe? Are the packs sold 'natural'? or do they have additives? Am i going to get any dodgy side affects from taking it?

your advise would be great, thanks.

totally, it's just natural ingredients in a concentrated form. I'm not aware of any helath side effects with whey.

About the only thing of concern is it does give some people stomach problems, flatulance, bloated feeling etc

Whey is safe. If you're really worried, you can buy natural whey that doesn't have any additives whatsoever. I know Optimum Nutrition makes some, but I haven't tried it. That's the only brand I can name off hand, but I'm sure there's a ton more.

Its like most supplements, its completely safe as long as you take the reccomended dosages. If you have too much it can put a bit of stress on your kidneys and other components of the digestive but as long as you use it properly dont worry, its probably the most useful supp out there.
