Is it normal to have a itching feeling after taking whey protein?

[Anonymous]

Hello, I bought an optimum nutrition whey 100% vanilla French cream flavor and I am afraid that is is fake. I don't have any allergy from milk or from any food. I eat ice cream vanilla and vanilla other food without any problem, lactose anything. The first time I drunk a scoop of this "protein" I got a pimple lower then the abs around the dick area and one small in the chest.
The next day I splited one scoop half before and half after my workout. Again I had itching feeling and a feeling like the pimple would break up, but no pimple showed up. (I had also some itching on the dick too and small burning...)

I want to know if those are normal with any protein supplements or only with fake supplements with testosterone and other shitty chemicals?

PS: As you can note, it is my first time that I buy supplements and I can't compare the taste or effects with any previous whey protein.

Well whey isn't like ice cream, which is basically cream and sugar. Whey is far more processed than milk or cream. So you might not be lactose intolerant and still react sensitive to whey.
It's not surprise it makes you skin unclear. Again it's highly processed. What did you expect? And that's just the whey, I'm betting there are least 10 other chemicals in that blend

If you have to go for a protein supplement, I'd go with hemp or pea protein. They're also highly processed but mostly people digest them better than dairy. Just go to an organic store buy an unflavored powder and put in flavor yourself
Whey is by the way the same stuff that you, in smaller portions, find in stuff like chocolate, coffe creamer or instant hot chocolate.

Thank you for the idea. Didn't knew about plant hemp pea protein, will have to try them.

Maybe it is fake I don't know, I don't use protein shakes much I am natural but I do have a knowledge. Pay attention to set right scale and use it only 1 time during the day, just after you finished your workout.

Pay attention to buy your supplements from places like GNC shops or something like that. I know some people who became cancer just cause of buying fake and cheap ones, just don't buy cheap buy quality ones or just don't buy it if its expensive for u.

This is my first time buying supplements too and buying protein shakes still leaves you natural because they only contain protein and sugar, which you can get from food too if you are rich enough to buy salmon, chicken all the time etc. Whey protein is just a cheaper way of getting the food/protein you need. I don't know first time using it and got these reactions, if I had used before I would be comparing my effects with before. Maybe the one I bought is fake with cheap steroids inside I read online that they cause itching

You might be having a mild reaction to something in it. It's doubtful that it is whey itself but i would suggest trying another brand like prosupps, dymatize
