Protein

Protein is a macronutrient made of chains of amino acids, found in foods such as meat, fish, eggs, dairy, legumes and grains.

Is there a safe upper limit?

No tolerable upper intake level has been established. That does not establish unlimited safety: DGE notes inadequate evidence to judge kidney effects in healthy adults and possible worsening with high intake when kidney function is impaired. 1

For information, not individual medical advice. Ingredient studies do not establish the effectiveness of these products.
