Does Whey protein effect penis erection

Hi, usually from myself and what I've read whey powder cuts you off by about 45 to 50% when you have it bad, libido and erection. There may have been a guy earlier "help me before I loose it" who may have said he could barely get an erection at all, judging by what he wrote but I'm not sure. As you recover it is better or worse every few days. If you are stressing out like crazy it may effect you down below as well as the effect from the 1/4 scoop, so maybe stress is killing it off completely? If you are taking medication of any kind that can also effect it a lot as well. Give it a few days and hopefully it will come back more. Try stay positive

Hi B, I donated a pint of blood a few days ago but don't notice any difference yet. Maybe one pint wasn't enough?? I ll let you know how I get on over the next two weeks. How are you getting on after donating? Are you still getting improvements?

Hey M,

Yeah I didn't notice a return of my sex drive until maybe a couple weeks after i donated. The first couple days I just felt better, and I didn't feel quite as numb as before. My sex drive has been better than its been in a couple years though.

My sex drive actually went down a little after I donated, but then it shot back up so you might need to give it time. I'll admit it was a marginal increase but I'm pretty sure it's better than before. It might take a couple times of donating before its gets 100 percent better.

How do you feel after you donated btw? I felt very fresh and alot less numb so it felt like it was something I needed.

hi there, i noticed that you posted your problem sometime last year, i was wondering whether theres been any improvements since you stopped taking the supplement, i too am expereincing something similar, i take optimum nutrition whey, and i am unable to get an erection. hope to hear from you soon

Hi B, I would describe the effects of giving blood exactly as you stated. I d say there was a marginal increase and I will donate again when I can. As you said erection power did drop a bit after giving blood and then came back with a slight increase. Hornyness in my mind (libido) may have came on a bit, I can't really judge yet. I can donate again in mid July. How are you since you last posted? Any more small improvements or has it levelled off for the moment??
Hi need an answer, I was doing well until September, recovery is a slow process. I can't believe how sh*te whey protein is. The low libido side effect is brutal. If you were on heroin for years and gave it up you'd be guaranteed your libido would return pretty soon and you would be happy out with that but having your sex drive cut so badly for years is such a pain in the hole. If I ever meet the guy who started off optimum nutrition I'd kick his f*cking head in

Need an answer, how long has this been going on with you? How much whey protein were you taking and for how long?

hey, was going to get some whey cause i joined a gym and was looking into what to get, found this and now having second thoughts about it

My trainer strictly said: Drink the protein shake within a minute or two. Otherwise consider it POISON.

Hi B, how is recovery going? Did you donate anymore blood lately?
M

Hey M, sorry I haven't responded, for some reason steady health doesn't notify me when somebody responds anymore. Well I've seen improvement in my libido issues, but I don't ever think I'll get back to where I was before; I think not being in my early 20's also has something to do with it. I'm still avoiding whey, and I also found out I'm gluten sensitive and it was making me feel like c**p, so I try to avoid wheat whenever possible. I haven't donated blood since the first time, but I plan on doing it sooner than later. Overall I do feel better than when I was taking whey protein everyday no doubt, Sex drive goes up and down but I think that has more to do with getting older than anything, because before I had a non-stop libido, but I think that had more to do with my early 20's. Being positive, eating right, and excercising I think can really do a lot.

Alright, just thought I would update everyone on my progress. I have finally found the culprit in all this!! After experimenting with my vitamin regimen I have discovered that the B vitamins are what helps this condition. I have taken full doses of whey protein powder again (Muscle Milk) and the symptoms of low libido and numbness in extremities is no longer there! I have been taking a B-Complex vitamin every day and have noticed that I'm the exact opposite as before. I find it hard not to masturbate several times a day now that my penis gets hard at the drop of a hat -- like my teen years lol.

What I have found online is that the amino acid homocysteine, when found in high concentrations in the blood stream, will start to attack your blood vessel walls and harden them, thus making it difficult for blood to flow easily. What the B vitamins do is basically neutralize the homocysteine and flush it out. Many people are low in B vitamins because of eating habits, stress, alcohol abuse, etc. so everyone could benefit from supplementation. Not only this, but the B-complex of vitamins help to maintain your blood glucose level which is abundant in these whey protein products.

I hope this information is helpful and that others may see this and finally solve their libido problems. Now go get laid!

i took 1/4 of a scoop before almost 4.5 months and i still have problem. maybe i am slightly better (ups and downs)...  unfortunatly my symptoms are not just ''low libido'' my symptoms are pretty much the same with some of propecia users side effects. anhedonia, genital numbness, prostate pains, lower back pain and even testicular pain, ed, and more but i dont wanna be more graffic. i cant understant how just 1/4 of a scoop whey did that damage to my body. sometimes i believe the whey was contaminated but still...

 

Hello Everyone. I wanted to wright this post to collaborate a similar experience I had with whey protein. At first I thought my low libido and emotional numbness was caused by a mediation technique that I did, but after finding and reading this forum I'm pretty sure that this was probably the cause of it. The only thing that's different between what I've been reading and my experience is that on this forum people have been saying that there libido got lower and lower each day. Well, for me I randomly woke up one day and I just simply wasn't interested in girls/woman anymore, Along with not able to experience any type of emotion. This has been going on for over a year now and I haven't seen any signs of improvment. I recently started taking B-Complex liquid vitamin because one user of this forum named "Adrian A" mentioned that it helps with this condition. I'll keep everybody updated on how I am doing.

Hello Adrian. I recently bought B-Complex Liquid Vitamin because I saw in your post that you said it helps this condition. This is my second day taking it and all it did was relax me I didn't really notice any changes. I still have no libido and I still feel emotionally numb... of cource its only my second day taking this. So, how long do you have to take it until you feel better?

Please reply back soon. Thanks

Hi Adrian, I looked up homocysteine just there and that's very interesting, could you tell us the exact brand and the amount of B vitamin you're taking, I read that folic acid is supposed to help to lower homocysteine levels too, thanks
