Does whey protein affect the kidneys?

Hi all,

If your kidneys are healthy, you’re good to go with moderate whey protein. But if you're worried about potential risks, it's always a good idea to choose a high-quality whey protein. Higher-quality proteins, like those with minimal additives, artificial ingredients, and cleaner filtration methods, can be easier on your body overall.

Research shows that when consumed in moderation, it’s generally safe and doesn’t harm kidney function. Your kidneys do filter waste from your blood, and while high protein intake can increase their workload a bit, there's no strong evidence that moderate whey protein consumption harms them.
