Protein shakes or the supplements are taken as additional diet in your regular diet and not only when you fall sick. There are no any documented side effects till date from consuming the protein shakes.

The side effects are seen in some people and the complaints have been studied in such minimal cases for the cause of side effects. Side effects in the protein or nutritional supplements are caused if the person consuming is allergic to the specific ingredient present in the protein supplement.
