      About This Product

      • Helps build and maintain muscle
      • Supports endurance and recovery
      • Instantized powder for easy mixing
      • Extreme Milk Chocolate flavor

      GOLD STANDARD 100% WHEY by Optimum Nutrition fuels your body with 24g of high-quality whey protein derived primarily from whey protein isolate, plus 5.5g of naturally occurring BCAAs to support muscle building, maintenance, endurance, and recovery.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      What is whey protein isolate?

      Whey protein isolate (WPI) has the highest concentration of protein and BCAAs, while having less carbs, cholesterol, and fat compared to other whey proteins. WPI is also low in lactose and easy on your digestive tract.

      What are BCAAs?

      Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) include leucine, isoleucine, and valine. They support muscle growth and reduce muscle fatigue.

      Directions

      Consume your shake after exercise or anytime during the day. Mix 32 grams (about 1 scoop) of Whey Protein Powder into 6-8 fl oz cold water, milk or other beverage. For 30 seconds stir, shake or blend until dissolved.

      Warning

      For healthy adults, consume enough protein to meet your daily protein requirements with a combination of high protein foods and protein supplements throughout the day as part of a balanced diet and exercise program. Store in a cool, dry place. Serving scoop included, but may settle to the bottom during shipping. Contents sold by weight not volume. Some settling will occur.

      Good Protein Product
      The product itself is great and taste not bad. I enjoy the more naturalized powder.

      The manager Zach, trying to give me grief and argumentative when I called him about my pickup order package being opened/tampered. Literally called 30 minutes after pickup. I don't appreciate the argumentative, and not listening to my concern. He may need some training in customer resolution. I'll speak to the other manager tomorrow. Only 3 stars due to customer service aspect!!

      Best whey out there!
      This is the BEST tasting whey protein I've ever had. I've tried multiple brands and flavors and this by far is the best. Mixes very well and extreme milk chocolate does taste pretty similar to nesquik with of course that distinct whey protein taste without all of the added sugar.

      Good quality (?)
      First I'd like to open my review with thanking the Vitamin Shoppe for having this protein powder at such a good price and for such fast shipping. I've tried the product now for 2 days and I have to say that so it's impossible to tell if it's working yet cuz it will take a couple months I think, I got to tell you I did not care for the taste I used to use metrics very similar to this product and I thought the flavor was better. if I add it to soy milk unsweetened and I put in a tablespoon of…

      fake chocolatey flavor
      forced to buy this flavor after reading all the praise and positives to this flavor, I'm just going to say it, its straight up nasty, the chocolate tastes bad, like a expired or fake chocolate flavor) this is by no means similar to drinking chocolate milk, as most say, this flavor let me down, and don't even bother mixing this with water, its a no-no. I liked the chocolate malt and rocky road flavor MUCH MUCH better.

        Frequently Asked Questions

        What is whey protein isolate?

        Whey protein isolate (WPI) has the highest concentration of protein and BCAAs, while having less carbs, cholesterol, and fat compared to other whey proteins. WPI is also low in lactose and easy on your digestive tract.

        What is hydrolyzed whey protein isolate?

        Hydrolyzed whey protein isolate (HWPI) is whey protein isolate that has been broken down into smaller chains of amino acids called peptides. Peptides are easier to digest, allowing for faster absorption into the bloodstream.

        What are BCAAs?

        Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) include leucine, isoleucine, and valine. They support muscle growth and reduce muscle fatigue.

        Are protein shakes "good” for you?

        Protein shakes can be an excellent addition to a well-rounded diet and healthy lifestyle. Research has shown that supplementing with protein can support athletic performance, post-workout recovery, weight management, muscle maintenance, and muscle growth.

        Can protein shakes support weight gain?

        Protein shakes may support weight gain if they contribute to a calorie surplus in your diet.

        Research has shown that protein-rich foods temporarily rev up your metabolism and can help make you feel satiated longer, which may contribute to weight loss.

        Are protein shakes "good" for women?

        Supplementing with protein is as beneficial for women as it is for men in supporting muscle growth and maintenance, recovery, and performance.

        How can protein supplements benefit my muscles?
