A. An overload of protein can create an acidic condition in the body, which causes the bones to leach minerals (including calcium) in an effort to neutralize the acidity in the body. Protivity does not contribute to an acidic condition in the body because it is 99% utilized and does not give off acidic residues like other protein sources. This means that it would not have the same calcium leaching effect on the body as other types of protein.
