Theres no harm in trying health food staples, which claim to boost immunity and build muscle, says a dietitian. Be aware, though, that most have 100 to 150 calories a serving and deliver 30 to 60 percent of the 45 to 60 grams of protein we need each day. That may be tol much.
Excess protein can lead to kidney problems. The powders dont taste great either. Eggs, lean chicken, eggs, and cheese are all good protein sources.
Bottom line - Few of us, including vegetarians and atheletes, actually need protein powder. But adding a scoop to curd or a smoothie can help you feel full longer.

I get my protein through my diet, cottage cheese, yogurt, milk, fish. For muscle building I use Creatine. This is a powder that you add to your beverage of choice. I have never heard of any negative health effects from using it.
