Is this Safe?

[irish_pride]

I just bought a new whey shake ive never had before its "massive whey" it says on the side ,"use this product as a food supplement only" and it says to take 1-2 a day.

I used to take up to 6 shakes a day with my other powders. Is it safe to defy the label and take maybe 3 or 4 shakes a day or might i get side-affects from taking too much. it has glutamine in it could this be a reason for not taking so much?

Go to the ER right now !

No, of course it is not dangerous ]
But real food is better
supplements shopuld only be supplements to a regular diet

So why would the company only recommend 1-2 scoops a day when other companys (Designer protein) recommend up to 6?

"Recommend" does mean anything
and recommend for who ? a 100pounds skinny teen girl or a 250pounds BBer ?

and a scoop may differ from one company to the other

6 shakes a day!? That really sounds like a lot. Are you eating a lot of real food as well (and maybe just on a very high calorie diet)? The bulk of your protein should come from natural foods. As long as that's the case, I'd assume that's fine.

yeah i eat 150g of real protein a day plus 2-3 21g shakes.

150g is real low! should be 1-1.5 per lb of body weight, some use 2g per lb.
