Too much of anything is bad for you. A good diet supplies plenty of protein with no need for supplementation.

Enough is fine. Too much becomes calories and pee, putting stress on your kidneys. The advantage of foods over supplements is that they contain other essential nutrients besides protein.

Like wheres your potassium, sodium, magnesium, calcium, iron and zinc coming from? Your muscles won't be able to do anything if you don't also have those and probably more.
