I have been using Protein Supplements for a year now and try to eat high protein food everyday, so I think I take high amount of protein daily

Now I worried about Gout. as far as I know it is caused by high protein intakes.

not sure if that is right and if so, shall i stop taking protein supplements?

Thanks

  • Actually, I can’t seem to find any sources that look at extremely high protein consumption’s negative effects. There was one, but apparently they didn’t go high enough. So I suppose I’ll retract my former statement since it isn’t scientific, but just keep in mind that you can have too much of anything.

High protein intake is not associated with an increased risk of gout.[1] People who are physically active are also less likely than the general population to develop gout.[2]

If you're not an alcoholic and you're not obese, you really have no reason to worry.

Take high levels of proteins can conduce to unbalance your acid-base.

It can cause exhaustion, high blood pressure, etc.. To avoid that be sure to eat a lot of vegetables, water with lemons...

More than 1.5g/2g per kg (ex: 50 kg = 75-100g of proteins each day) is considered as useless by mosts of lifters. You will have no benefit after this point.
