Can women with uterine fibroids consume protein powder?
Disease description:
Recently, my physical constitution has been relatively weak, so I purchased protein powder online to boost my immune system. However, I also have uterine fibroids and am unsure whether it is safe for me to consume protein powder. May I ask: Is it safe for individuals with uterine fibroids to take protein powder?

Women with uterine fibroids may appropriately consume protein powder. Protein powder primarily supplements the body’s required protein and, under normal circumstances, does not contain hormonal ingredients; therefore, consuming protein powder will not cause uterine fibroids to grow larger. However, when selecting health supplements, it is essential to choose products manufactured by reputable companies and meeting quality standards—avoiding unverified or untraceable supplements.
