Tests must be submitted to the Food and Drug Administration, the FDA, that prove the generic medication has the same clinical effect on the body.

Having excess protein in your diet can cause just as many harmful effects for your health as not getting enough protein can. If you are increasing your protein intake but your calorie intake or exercise habit is not increasing along with it, you can actually put your body through more stress than it needs or than it can handle for that matter.
