No problems using it in conjunction with whey protein. And if you're looking to help recover I'd suggest a good quality glutamine powder.

They say that people's bodies react differently to it. I'm not saying I got an earth shattering change but I did notice extra fatigue resistance which is what I was looking for. The stuff I take is a mono+ some form of sugar blend. Glutamine is great stuff, I know that's in a lot of the protein powders now.
SNM: Are you serious? Did you not read the label of your Superpump?
There have not been any long term use studies but in the short term it's safe if you cycle it and keep your fluid intake up. During this time I always make sure to take a good multivitamin to make sure that I'm replacing the nutrients I may have flushed out with all of the water. Side effects are (and aren't limited to) cramping, bloating, diarrhea, raised liver enzymes, dehydration, anxiety, and a few other things.
