Does Whey protein effect penis erection

O.M.G.  Similar problems WTF!  I thought whey was a miracle supplement. Been having it for 3 yrs on and off depending on training. Been having ED for 2 yrs too. My "lad" is 0% 1-2days then 100% for months. A bit of history;

At first I thought it was Phenergan (Antihistamine) I took this for a week straight to assist sleep on NS (known side affect ED and evidence it cause central nervous damage) never had it since

A few months later thought it was Fish Oil Tablets (evidence it causes ED through blood thinning- also changes blood pressure) never had it since

Good for 8 months then my "Lad" played up over a week (This is the first time my wife mentioned Whey Protein- Whey! No its just protein...) so I got the ED tests (all good) WTF.

Good for 3 months then bam 3 weeks 50% hardness. Go cold turkey on Porn- f**k that sh*t anyway its not real and skews our brain toward visual stimulation. I also get Viagra presciption filled. Never used I was fine.

Good for 6 months Then 1 day 0% again WTF I ate perfect (including Whey) I noted that I get extremely hot when the ED strikes (query anxiety though I was reasonably relaxed) and google ED and hot rooms. I see some evidence of this on net. Right cool the room from now on. 

Then yesterday after eating perfect slight calorie deficit (last 2 days) and training yesterday, room not hot (but not cold) it happens again (and I was keen as mustard!). My temperature jacked up like I was in a sauna (anxiety reaction). My really supportive wife asks how much protein shakes (shes allergic to them- fuzzy brain, sick feeling etc) I said 3 each day. She suggests they may be the culprit (I listen this time) We talk about other possible causes.

So I google it, today. WTF this tread has my struggle over and over again. WTF is in this stuff. I dont think whey is a miracle anymore...

Im going cold turkey on the whey today, I already take Zinc and Magnesium. I will likely introduce meditation at some point and drop some blood off if there is a place near me Wish me luck.

Hi Newb, I got a type of anxiety too, when you stop having normal turned on thoughts throughout the day it turns to thoughts of stress however the whey sh*t does it, all the best with recovery, it's not easy, but note the whey causes a physical reaction with psychological side effects and NONE of it is in your head, please keep in touch...

Whey protien caused some serious issues in the bedroom for me too. Really didn't want to believe it. Switched to MRM all natural veggie protien and added some citruline malate....all I can say im 39 and feel like I'm in my twenties in the bedroom.

mn company protein is gd or bad quality

did the problem got resolved??

hi all, I've been to a neurophysiologist, I told him my symptoms from whey and as soon as I did he said oh yeah and went on the internet and googled it and showed me the different forms that pop up. he said he heard about whey protein causing this effect, when I described our symptoms he said its peripheral nerve damage. He said 10% of cyclists get it from the saddle and if you have a back injury you can get the same symptoms. I explained how I didn't get it physically and that its something going on in my body after comsuming whey powder. He said about seven years ago a survey was done and 50% of protein supplements were contaminated and two years ago 10% of them were contaminated. he also said that in the Iraq war American soldiers were hit with mustard gas and when they got back from the war their bits weren't working properly with similar symptoms to the whey effect. He prescribed me prednisolone which is an anti inflammatory steroid and Cialis. and told me to come back in 3 weeks. however I had taken deltacortril before and it made me sick so when I got home I checked out deltacortril and the active ingredient was prednisolone. I decided not to take it and waited till I saw him again to see if there is anything else I could take. this time he prescribed a nsaids and told me to take 10 mg of Cialis every 3 days to get the blood flow back into the region. Id rather be taking the prednisolone as its stronger and I hope the nsaids will help but Ill see. this is an inflammatory response to whey we’re getting and aswell as everything else I had swolwen glands in my neck for a long time. I suggest go to a doctor or better a neurophysiologist and tell him the story, if they do prescribe prednisolone be careful cause it does have bad side effects like nausea, anxiety, depression so if you have a history of any of this be careful, so read side effects first, I think it is something like this that is going to be the cure, i’ll let ye know how I get on, if anyone else goes to doc and tries this keep everyone filled in, thanks mmm

i have used one brand and i am having problems with erection and libido, was wondering if someone could help find a better solution

I'm 44 and started taking whey protein 2 weeks ago. I noticed low sex drive starting about a week ago and did search 3 days ago and found this thread. So here I am up at 1:30 in the morning and I can't sleep. This will be starting my 3rd day of off whey. I was turned on frequently and could get an erection just fantasizing almost anytime. Now nothing. This is a nightmare. I've been getting in better shape and we all took this stuff to help us get into better shape and here we are. I see stories of recovery from days to weeks to months and then some haven't recovered after a year or 2. I am scared. And I also noticed my emotions weren't what they used to be over the passed week or so. I had emotions but they weren't as full as they usually are - kind of narrowed if you will. How can it do so much damage in such a short amount of time? I can only hope it goes away but right now it doesn't feel promising. Incredibly scared. Wish I had searched side effects before I took it.

Hi Guest, the key to recovery is to give it up as quick as possible and never touch it again. You took it for only two weeks and the reaction happened after the first week but taking any amount if it after the reaction happens is too much. Stay off it and hopefully in a few weeks you'll get back to normal. Can you believe whey does this? It's f&ckin awful. Try relax and hopefully you'll get better soon
Mmm

I am 40 years old and have never experienced ED in my life before about 3 months ago. I work out regularly and about 4 months ago, i switched to ON protein. when i was reading all the comments here, i came across at least 3 other posts who were on the same protein brand. other that the Soy element in this brand, i am not sure what could cause the ED but it's definitely the protein shake that is doing this to us. funny thing is, most people would laugh at this and think it's all in your brain, which is not true. at least in my case, but i know that this only affects maybe 10 percent of people who use it.
since i stopped taking the protein shake, i am slowly coming back to normal.

good luck all..

i've started having protein from last 3 days. and i was told by sombody that protein will efect my sexual drive. is it true?

I think it may be the l-lysine. I have experimented with taking just l-lysine and just l-argine both. When I take l-lysine by itself it is nearly impossible for me to keep an erection, I have the opposite effect on l-argine. The only reason why I took them both in conjunction is because while arginine gives you the "pump" and provides great orgasms and sperm quantity/quality, higher doses of it gave me joint pain and caused me to break out in cold sores. The lysine was great for the joint pain and demolished the cold sores, but again it caused erection problems. I know that argine is a precursor to nitric oxide which expands the blood vessels in the penis to provide an erection but since lysine competes with arginine I believe that's why it has a direct effect with the lack of ability in maintaining erections.
