I take whey protein without any problems. I would highly doubt this would contribute to hairloss. No evidence supporting this

Hi Guys, thanks for all your replies.

I'm working out and eating a high protein diet (through food). The only time a supplement is really required is post workout for fast absorption, as whole foods need to be broken down first, which delays absorption.

So I've decided to try liquid egg whites post workout. Apparently its absorbed very quickly and is 100%bioavailable. I'll be using treated egg whites - so I don't get food poisoning Besides, if Rocky did it, it must be good

This post makes my head spin. Primarily, if the question you are asking regarding increased hair loss and Whey Products were true, it would not be because the name on the box says, "Whey". It would be due to the ingredients. Which the theme of this post suggests as Protein. Therefore, by no longer consuming Whey powder in the form of shakes, but replacing this with liquid egg whites, makes no sense whatsoever. The source of these products, along with the concept of taking them, is PROTEIN. Depending on its source, eggs, milk, meat etc... will dictate digestion times of the protein, and therefore dictate when would be best to consume. But this does not alter the theory behind it. Which is completely based on PROTEIN, PROTEIN, PROTEIN.

Splitting Hairs, Im sorry my man but your statement regarding the only time this supplement is required is post workout for fast absorption, is highly naive. Whilst this is a highly effective time to consume supplementing products, it is not due to your workout that you will digest products quicker. It is down to the fact that you choose WHEY protein, as opposed to the varing other sources. Whey is typically digested within 30-90 minutes, meaning it is greatly beneficial, post workout, when your muscles are fatigued and at their most "impressionable"!

A Casein based protein powder, for example, is highly effective immediately before bed, as its longer digestion time of 2-8 hours results in a constant protein intake by your muscles when you are sleeping. This is arguably, just as important as Whey post workout.

Sorry to continue, but "food poisoning" possibilities,with eggs, whilst is very real, is also highly exagerated. For sure, the possibility of Salmonella should not be taken lightly, the simple precaution of constantly refrigerated products, eliminates any risk. Simple no?

I drink a muscle milk protein drink every morning and a whey protein drink every evening....for the last year or so. I did not notice any difference in hair shedding...and trust me, I keep up with that!
I did just do a HT but I needed that prior to my whey protein ingestion.

LOL, sorry - hair is primarily the protein Keratin - whey made up of the amino acids which are protein.

What you may be observing is the inreased testosterone (and DHT by product) from your workouts leading to an increased hairloss.

The debate Big Muscles or Hair has been around for years...for some, they are mutually exclusive.

In my mind this is another irrational assumption on why someone is losing hair. We all went through it citing shampoo, vitamins, allergies, and yes..... Whey protein ..

It makes no sense whatsoever.

What i can't tell for own experience.
Hardcore suplements with lots of caffeine like No Shotgun, No explode, nano Vapor, Superpump 250 etc, made my hair shed more. That's 100% sure for me.
I can't tell whey protein makes my hair shed, but go to the gym and work hard makes my hair shed, i'm sure about it too.

I have been drinking protien shakes reglarly for the past 5 years, that has had no effect on my hair whatsoever.

Here's my 2 cents, and its probably not worth much more than that...

By and large male hairloss is a combination of genes and luck. Not what you eat. Unless you are taking steroid precursors to bulk up. As an avid bench pressor who at various times would have tried those supplements(but didn't), I think that as long as you are eating a reasonably healthy diet, you will not improve nor worsen your hair. Nor will you bulk up with diet alone...it takes lots of hard work; and good genes.

If I had to guess, and its only a guess, I think that guys who are driven to workout (as compared to being sedentary) may have a higher baseline testosterone. Combine that with the general incidence of MPB and you have a higher percentage of hairloss in hard core fitness types.

Take that theory for what its worth...
