The silent illness of many men
I’m a 24-year-old man whose sexual health was severely affected by whey protein at the age of 17. Unknowingly, I started consuming protein powder to enhance my athletic performance, but it turned into a nightmare. Despite specialists attributing it to psychological factors or suspecting anabolic steroids in the protein, the root cause was unrelated. Months into taking whey, my libido plummeted. I experienced difficulty sustaining erections, along with symptoms like gas, abdominal pain, and fatigue. Even with mild anemia and elevated eosinophils, my symptoms persisted. My girlfriend initially empathized, but conflicts arose, and hurtful remarks ensued. Academic performance suffered, and work became challenging. Seeking medical advice, I was initially dismissed as psychologically troubled, until Viagra was prescribed. Although it temporarily improved sexual function, the reliance on medication was discomforting. Desperate for answers, I scoured online resources until I stumbled upon a blog where others shared similar experiences. While no solutions were offered, it provided solace in knowing I wasn’t alone. Further research led to the discovery of a common genetic issue: MTHFR. Through a Telegram group, we shared insights and found significant improvement with 5mthf supplements. This discovery offered hope and marked a turning point in reclaiming my health and vitality.»
If you’re experiencing a decrease in libido and erection issues after starting to consume whey protein, you’re not alone. Despite some advocating for its benefits, the reality is that this supplement, which used to be given to pigs or discarded, has become a highly profitable product. However, behind this multibillion-dollar industry, there are concerns about its long-term impact, even comparing it to more toxic substances we can’t mention. While many praise its effects, it’s important to consider all perspectives before incorporating it into your routine.
