Will taking protein affect my hair transplant 2 months post-op?

OG_335Sep 8, 2016
Hello, I am now 2 month post OP and I started to work out in the gym again. I would like to know if taking protein ( I take 2g protein per Bodykilo- that means 180g/a day) could affect my hair transplant. I need it to build muscles. Thank you for your questions.
