So I was just informed today by my brother, who is also on Accutane, that his dermatologist told him that he should not be taking protein powder during his course. This is the first time I have ever heard of this and I am a bit concerned... Is this really accurate? Am I really going to do much damage to my liver by taking a nutritional supplement while on this drug? I currently take Gold Standard 100% Egg, which doesn't contain any Vitamin A [Removed]. I already had to give up alcohol and sun, I would like to at least keep my body in shape.

I never heard that before. I took it with my last course and with the one I'm on.

I took whey and creatine daily while I was on Accutane. I plan to stay on both during my upcoming second dose as well.

I think whey protein triggered the cystic breakout that caused me to seek out a derm and get accutane in the first place...just me though.

I was told the same when I was 19, it was bullshit. Get the whey into you
