Does whey protein result in growth of body hair too?

[Ameya]

OK! I know Whey protein is basically meant for the gymming crowd and I also know it's not a steroid as such, but I just had this question in mind that if it's "protein" then does it result in growth of excess hair on the body or scalp etc? For example if someone is facing hair fall, and he joins a gym, takes whey protein along with other diet, then along with body growth would it result in growth of body hair + scalp hair?. Thanks...

No, the whey isn't going to do that. When you lift weights, you do raise your overall levels of testosterone in your body, which can affect hair growth, but that's not the result of the protein by itself. Now, if you start doing anabolic steroids, you should really worry. That being said, if you stick to standard protein shakes, you won't look like a chimp after a few weeks of working out.

It's been proven beyond any doubt:

Little Miss Muffitt

Sat on a tuffett

Eating her curds and WHEY

Then along came a spider

And sat down beside her

And said, "My, you look hairy today!"

I really don't think so. Protein builds muscle, but if you don't get enough protein your hair will fall out I know this for sure.

If it effects your hormones, then I think it would..

No, your hair might be just a little more lustrous, but protein doesn't cause thinning hair to grow back if it's normal male pattern baldness.sorry!
