Protein Shakes, Amino Acid, and Hair Loss?

hello dr rassman
i just want to ask you about protein shakes. do they cause hair loss? i heard if it has amino acid will cause hair loss. can you take a look to this kind of protein: Combat Powder.

thanks

These protein shakes may have nutritional value, but I doubt that whey protein shakes will impact hair loss or hair gain. One recent push by a prominent hair transplant surgeon and dermatologist is for a protein shake to increase hair growth after a transplant, but the evidence is just not there for me to take any position in the solution.

I would be careful that in the process of using such a shake, that there is not hidden steroid in it. Some of the “muscle milk” products that are on the market have steroids in them and that is bad for both overall health and maintenance of hair.
