How long does it typically take for whey protein to have an effect on bodybuilding, weight loss, or weight gain?

Clearly, it “could” potentially help as part of a lifestyle that promotes any of the three things you mentioned. But those take 4 major factors, of which nutrition is just 1 factor, as well as consistency. And only then might you see or feel results in a couple to a few weeks.

You need to move away from the thought that whey in itself will have any direct impact on any of those. This is because it is:

Not regulated

Why does my dog keep licking at her privates now? She is 7 years old and has barely started licking there. The vet said she’s fine but she keeps doing that.

Non-essential

Protein alone is not a miracle drug and will not “trigger” any process to start building muscle or anything like that unless your lifestyle holistically demands it.

Just a supplement

Is it true that sleeping with your hair down can cause damage?
