Product Label

100% Whey Gold Standard Vanilla Ice Cream, Whey Protein Isolates Primary Source * 24 g protein * 5.5 g BCAAs * 4 g Glutamine & Precursors * 32 servings.Whey Protein Isolates are 90% pure protein by weight. They are the purest and most expensive form of whey protein that exists. That's why they are the first ingredients you read on the 100% of Whey Gold Standard label. By using Whey Protein Isolate as our primary protein source, we're able to pack 24 grams of the purest, muscle-building protein per serving, and a lot less of the fat, cholesterol, lactose, and other stuff that you can do without. There's no question this is the standard by which other whey proteins are measured.

    First off, let me start off with saying that this an Optimum Nutrition product and didn't expect anything but the best. This is by far the best tasting protein I have ever tasted. I really believe taste should be a huge factor for a product especially if you're expecting to take it 3 times a day for at least a month. It also blends very well. I use a shaker bottle and blend my protein with fat free milk. I have been testing proteins for the past few months and this blows all the others out the water(MHP, GNC Whey, MuscleMilk). Now I use the French Vanilla flavor. Soon I will try the Double Chocolate and hope for the same great taste. I rate this product with 5 stars and really recommend this ON Protein who is looking for a great tasting and quality product for a very valuable price! Only been using it 2 weeks and I already see my body changing and I alot more energy than normal!

    I like most of Optimum Nutritions products, but was a little bit disappointed with this one. I just finished their strawberry whey which was ok, a little on the strong side of artificial strawberry, but not horrible. Their Strawberry whey is sweetened with Sucralose, which is fine with me. But I was disappointed to find out after purchase that this flavor(vanilla) is sweetened with Acesulfame Potassium - which I HATE because it leaves a weird sweet taste in my mouth all day. Also, from what I've researched about it, it is not good for you (the liver breaks it down into formaldehyde). So I have been trying to avoid Acesulfame if possible. I assumed that if the same company used sucralose for one flavor, they used it for the others too - WRONG. It is my fault though, for not reading the label.

      Product works great as advertised, but the real comment here is Vitamin Shoppe. They have all the products you would ever need combined with all the intangibles like shipping that is super fast and reliable and customer service that is top notch. Great place to order product!

          I received this in the mail today and the label says it has 130mg of sodium per serving instead of 60mg of sodium per serving like this website says. Not sure what happened.

            It's probably the best whey protein powder you may find on the market when you're looking for the best quality / price ratio. I recommend the gold standard to anyone who's looking for a great cheap product! Almost all the flavors taste really good!

                                          I have tried several protein powders, but I love this one in particular more than any other I've tasted. It is not at all chalky like some can be, and when you mix it with soy milk it has a particularly "cookie" flavor...it has cookie crumbs in it, and with the nutty taste of soy milk it really brings that flavor to the fore! I will continue to faithfully consume this product. I haven't found another flavor or brand that I like better.

                                              Comments about Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Vanilla - 2 Pound Powder:

                                              I like most of Optimum Nutritions products, but was a little bit disappointed with this one. I just finished their strawberry whey which was ok, a little on the strong side of artificial strawberry, but not horrible. Their Strawberry whey is sweetened with Sucralose, which is fine with me. But I was disappointed to find out after purchase that this flavor(vanilla) is sweetened with Acesulfame Potassium - which I HATE because it leaves a weird sweet taste in my mouth all day. Also, from what I've researched about it, it is not good for you (the liver breaks it down into formaldehyde). So I have been trying to avoid Acesulfame if possible. I assumed that if the same company used sucralose for one flavor, they used it for the others too - WRONG. It is my fault though, for not reading the label.

                                              I'm excited to try this protein. I have been using the cheap Six Star stuff from walmart, till I found out that theres creatine in it. I don't want to take creatine, I could tell I was retaining water. It still gave me results, but hopefully this stuff will work better for me.

                                                  I take this every morning after my workout, and then mix about half a serving with "The Ultimate Meal" along with a banana and apple. Makes me feel like a million bucks for several hours, and I can feel my body's furnace at work - stoked for hours.The taste is fine. I like vanilla in all its forms, and this is no exception. The ladies who post about bad or nasty flavor - I just don't get it. This stuff is great just mixed in water with a spoon - no clumps, goes down like water.I'm not a protein powder expert nor have I compared this to a multitude of products, but for the amount of protein isolate per serving, and how it makes me feel and perform, I'd say this is an excellent value and I highly recommend it - especially to people who actually like vanilla. The only downside is that it's not naturally flavored. That's the one thing that would make this a STELLAR product.

                                                      Shawn L H: Protein helps repair muscle tissue that is broken down after a workout. It will not cause you to bulk up. You would need to be lifting heavy and eating a ton of calories for that and even them it is hard for women to gain "bulk".

                                                      Whey protein is fast digesting and optimum is the brand I love the most!

                                                      Hope that helps!

                                                      ALEXANDRA R: It's not for loss or gain specifically. It's for maintaining or gaining muscle. I take it in between meals or after working out at the gym to maintain my muscle mass and I am in no way trying to bulk up. But I'm sure bulking up is possible if you take too much at a time and add other stuff to it. Feb 8, 2013
