The post-workout protein shake is something with which we’re all familiar. In fact, aside from a multivitamin, protein powder is the very first supplement many of us ever try. And, make no mistake, post-workout protein shakes can be immensely helpful.

Protein powder is one of the first supplements an individual will purchase when they’re starting to get more serious about their health and fitness beyond the simple going for 10-minute walks and cleaning the crap out of their diet. 

Here’s a question for you… what is one of the hottest supplement categories out on the market that anyone can use, is relatively inexpensive, yet can provide you with amazing results? The answer is protein. Protein powders flood the store shelves and warehouses of retailers and fly out the door and into the hands of consumers on a daily basis. The next question becomes, what type of protein powder should you consider using? Well, your best bet may be a whey and casein blend and, in this article, I’m going to explain why you should take a closer look at protein powder blends if you feel like you’re not seeing the results you expected from your workouts.

The fitness realm is littered with confusion in part due to the massive amounts of information we’re bombarded with everyday, but also outright lies and obfuscation by diet “gurus” trying to make a quick buck. One of the most prevalent beliefs is that high protein diets are bad for the kidneys. Today, we take a good hard look at what the scientific evidence has to say regarding high protein diets and kidney function and whether or not you should toss out your tub of protein powder.
