I have never had this problem with Muscle Milk, nor any other supplement I have ever taken

.

I've never gone over the recommended amount for anything so idk about excess vitamin side effects. I have taken multivitamins with the daily % on the 1000's for some of the vitamins in it and it just made my pee bright yellow like Gatorade.

I also recall reading somewhere that your body can process only so much protein per hour/day so taking too much won't do you any good and you'll just end up pooping out the excess. Remember there's protein in the food you eat so the shake is not your only source of protein. Also all that extra protein requires you drink more water to help out your liver and kidneys. Perhaps you didn't drink enough water so you're also feeling dehydrated?

Muscle Milk?

Certain protien brands require more water through out the day....... Try drinking more water......

 I was a gym rat for many years while taking "all" kinds of supps and not drinking enough water was the main cause of headaches......

Just when you think its enough water....its not.... Just a suggestion.... Stay Hydrated ....

I would buy Crystal Light type packets to make water more desirable so I wouldnt get dehydrated.......

Stay Safe

What else you could check is your blood pressure.....

Hypertension is common in the world of "Getting Big".... or "Getting Fit"

Not saying thats your goal but it may be a factor....

Oatmeal and a little CoQ10 (Coenzyme Q10) can help with Hypertension...Good for the Heart!

Dehydration can cause headaches.

My body builder friends say to drink more water when taking supplements.

Hydration is very important.

There are however fat soluble vitamins that can be toxic to your body in high amounts.

Be careful if the muscle milk contains these vitamins in high doses.

Megadoses of vitamins A, D, E or K can be toxic and lead to health problems.

Unlike water-soluble vitamins that need regular replacement in the body, fat-soluble vitamins are stored in the liver and fatty tissues, and are eliminated much more slowly than water-soluble vitamins.

Because fat-soluble vitamins are stored for long periods, they generally pose a greater risk for toxicity than water-soluble vitamins when consumed in excess.

Eating a normal, well-balanced diet will not lead to toxicity in otherwise healthy individuals.

However, taking vitamin supplements that contain mega doses of vitamins A, D, E and K may lead to toxicity.

+1 on the H2O like everyone said above....

The body takes what it needs and gotta flush out the rest...

Yup drink a gallon of h2o a day. 

When I was doing lomilomi, our teaching was half your body weight in water ounces is ideal.

Thanks for all the comments, bruddahs.

Taking your guys' advice I pounding about 4 liters of water.

The headache started to go away, but it still lingered til about 10 PM that evening.

Brah... I think I've had dehydration headaches before, but this was the first time I felt nauseated, too; it seriously felt like I had a big-time hangover!

I still take daily vitamins, but I cut back on the scoops of Muscle Milk (only 1 after workouts, now) and I make sure I drink lots of water before and after running/workouts.

 

Sounds like a migraine headache to me.  Sensitive to light?  You might be allergic to something in the ingredients. 

Sometimes the yellow coatings on supps will make you pee dark yellow.  In my case, specifically one brand of B-complex does it. Quite noticeable, no doubt about it.

Although I'm a "believer" in supplements, I rarely take more than half a pill of anything that isn't a liquid-filled capsule (which you can't cut in half.)  My pill cutter is very well used.

The exception is Vitamin C, which I take a lot of.

Sometimes the cheapo start-up nutritional outfits will put their stuff in gelatin capsules.  I usually separate the two halves and sprinkle some of the the contents over my food or into my yogurt.

I have found that too much caffiene will give me a headache.  We had one of "those" coffee shops in my building and it took a while to notice it. When I talked it up a little with my co-workers several of them mentioned the same effect.

Another thing which is known to cause headaches is MSG, which is in an awful lot of prepared foods, usually disguised as another name like "hydrolyzed vegetable protein" or "modified starches."  However, I used to keep a can of "Accent" (pure MSG) in my office for when I needed to sharpen up for a meeting.  I'd put a small pinch of it in the palm of my hand and lick it off.  Not too much to cause a headache, but just enough to go into a higher gear.  Not "overdrive," mind you, just a higher cruising gear.

Since I retired, I don't do that anymore.

Well, a lot of "natural" stuff isn't necessarily good for you.  Nutmeg comes to mind right off the bat.  I understand garlic in large quantities isn't, either.  And some have a bounce-back reaction.  St. John's Wort is a good one-day mood elevator, but if I take it for more than two days, I feel slightly depressed on that next day without it.  (I don't mean "clinically" depressed by any means... just with less of my normal mental bounciness.)

Three milligrams of Melatonin, while it helps with sleep, can also give me a similar slight depression the next day (and affects my eyesight, I believe, but cannot confirm this.) One  mg is enough to drowsify me.

Aspirin?  Originally discovered in the bark of a tree (how natural!), it can make your ears ring.  Why?  It's an ototoxin.

Hell, why do you think so many doctors advise their patients to lay off the table salt?  That's as natural as natural can be!

Oh, and that MSG or however they disguise its name this week, have it late in the day and you won't be able to sleep.  Happened to me last night.  Something I ate yesterday must have been loaded with glutamates.  I believe it was the fried chicken I had from the supermarket deli.  Delicious, but they must have loaded the wonderully crunchy coating with MSG as a flavor enhancer, and they don't list the ingredients anywhere, like they do with packaged products.

So I get fairly conservative about food additives and supplements.  This is one area where "if a little is good, a lot must be better" can be outright dangerous.

Like putting eight quarts of oil in a little four-banger engine.

"Muscle Milk" headache.  Heh.  Like the old Henny Youngman joke, "Doc, it hurts when I do this."

"Then stop doing that, my boy."
