Hello. I am 26 years old. I am a skinny guy and want to gain muscles. I started doing the exercise regularly from last 3 months. As nutrition point of view I eat two bananas, two eggs and some amount of dry fruits regularly. So I want to ask you that do I need to take whey protien and also want to ask you that is whey and casiene protien are complete safe. As my friend told me that those protien causes decrease in immune strength, decrease in sex power etc. Or these are nothing but just myths that have grown around. Please suggest me the best way. I want the answer about the use of whey and casein protien from nutritionist. Please answer my question.
