- The Bigger Picture of Whey
- Whey Protein Isolates are the purest form of whey protein that exists. Hydrowhey® consists of proteins strategically broken down (hydrolyzed) into smaller pieces called peptides for faster utilization by the body. Both are costly to use, but whey protein isolates and Hydrowhey® hydrolyzed whey peptides are the best whey proteins that money can buy. That's why they're the first few ingredients you read on the Gold Standard 100% Whey™ label. By using whey protein isolates and Hydrowhey® as primary ingredients, we're able to pack 24 grams of the fastest, muscle-building protein into every serving with a lot less of the fat, cholesterol, lactose, and other stuff you can do without. There's no doubt that this is the standard by which all other whey proteins are measured.
- The Advanced Gold Standard Whey Protein Blend:
- Gold Standard 100% Whey™ is made of an exclusive blend of:
- Microfiltered Whey Protein Isolates
- Ion-Exchange Whey Protein Isolates
- Ultrafiltered Whey Protein Concentrate
- Hydrowhey® Hydrolyzed Whey Peptides
- Beyond the Basics:
- Free of artificial flavors and sweeteners
- Packed with Whey Protein isolates (WPI)
- Higher Protein Percentage (24 grams of protein; nearly 75% protein by weight).
- Includes Hydrowhey®, strategically hydrolyzed, low molecular weight whey peptides to make protein faster acting.
- Contains Lactase and Aminogen® digestive enzymes to enhance utilization.
- Whey Protein Microfractions including Alpha-lactalbumin, Glycomacropeptides, Beta-lactoglobulin, immunoglobulin G (lgG), Lactoferrin, Lactoperoxidase, and various growth factors.
- Over 4 grams of Glutamine & glutamine precursors.
- More than 5 grams of BCAAs (Leucine, isoleucine, and Valine) in each scoop.

I mix this with zero-fat milk and drink usually twice a day. I have bought the regular chocolate (which includes sugar and I guess artificial flavorings) when the store was out of the all-natural (which doesn't have those things), and I can't tell a difference in the taste; i.e., the all-natural is very good.
When I first switched to the ON whey, I bought vanilla the first time, which I didn't like. At all. (I almost made a mistake when the store was out of the all-natural choc and got the vanilla again one time, then remembered how it tasted. It was kind of funny, the guy working in the store said, about the vanilla, "oh, yes, it's undrinkable."
My point: Get the all-natural chocolate. It's good. It gets four stars instead of five because I don't see why it needs to be so expensive.

i always take Dymatize natural protein but i wanted to give this a shot. the nutritional content is about the same (although ON has 15mg more than Dymatize). only thing i didn't like about ON is their bland taste. i've many many diff brands and this is on the bland side so i'm sticking with Dymatize. i know many would say taste doesn't matter b/c it's for muscle building and such but i say why not drink one that has a good taste if you're going to drink it.
another small thing to pick at. ON's lid is about 1/2inch wide making is harder to open with one hand than Dymatize.

Comments about Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Natural Chocola - 5 Pound Powder:
Take it with me to the gym in a Nalgene bottle, fill it with water fountain water and give it a couple of shakes and its good to go. I use two scoops to twelve oz. of water, instead of the eight oz. per scoop recommended. I think it tastes better at that ratio.

Comments about Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Natural Chocola - 5 Pound Powder:
I use this product as a meal replacement on days when I am in the gym all day (I'm a personal trainer) and need a healthy way to refuel between clients or before a workout. The taste is great, it blends well, goes great with a Green's Powder, frozen berries and some 3-6-9 oil... even when mixed with just water. I did alot of looking around to find a product with ingredients that I feel good about at a price that was better than the rest. I would not use this as a post-lifting powder... that's Whey Protein's job (with NO casein)... but this is a great powder if you work out hard and need a good, solid meal replacement that will stick with you. I don't have one bad thing to say about it.

Comments about Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Natural Chocola - 5 Pound Powder:
In terms of ease of blending easily in the top 15% of whey protein's I've tried. Taste is acceptable, certainly could be better and probably worthwhile to mix something tasteful in.

Comments about Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Natural Chocola - 5 Pound Powder:
Have been using this product for several weeks and love it. The best thing about this protein powder is that the ingredients list is very short, which makes for a good protein powder. There are no sweeteners or artificial flavors. Provides a great amount of high quality protein that mixes well. This is the best product for the price that I have found so far.

Comments about Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Natural Chocola - 5 Pound Powder:
I can't say enough good about this product. After being very disappointed with the weird flavor and strange, foamy texture of the natural vanilla, I decided to give the chocolate a try, and I am VERY glad I did. This product does not have artificial sweeteners, which means it doesn't bother my stomach, it contains Aminogen enzymes, which means it absorbs well, it mixes nicely, does not have a weird foamy texture, and it tastes great. Need I say more? I'd say going forward, this will be my one and only protein shake. It's the best I've found.

Comments about Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Natural Chocola - 5 Pound Powder:
This is the only brand of whey protein powder that i will use because of the price, quality, taste and most importantly for me that it doesn't have any artificial sweeteners in it. I use it twice daily for my pre and post workout shakes. I mix it with unsweetened Almond milk (which is low carb), ice and 1/2 a banana in my blender....Yum! Tastes like dessert to me.

Comments about Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Natural Chocola - 5 Pound Powder:
I try to go "all-natural" with what I put into my body. Therefore, it was a no-brainer when I wanted some protein powder that I should try this product. It has proven itself quite nicely. It tastes great, and doesn't any artificial sweeteners. There are so many foods to mix it in with (yogurt, milk, oatmeal, smoothies, etc.), which makes it easy to incorporate it into your food day. I would recommend this to anyone looking to try protein powder.

Mixes great. Mixes much easier than most other proteins. Shake it for 30 seconds and it is fully mixed not like other brands where after 30 seconds there are still huge chunks. Tastes great too even when mixed with water, I prefer milk.

ON 100% Natural Whey was my first protein supplement I had every tried. I really like the taste and results. I tried the other ON Gold Standard unnatural whey protein and have to say I like the NATURAL one BETTER. Once I run out I'm going back to NATURAL. It sits better in my stomach.

I have tried many different protein powders, but ON Natural Whey is my favorite. It is very hard to find protein powders that do not have any artificial flavors or sweeteners. ON Natural Whey mixes easily with a spoon, tastes great, and has NO funny aftertaste! On sale for only $44.99 for a 5 lb container = unbeatable. Definitely try this product, you will not regret it!

Comments about Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Natural Chocola - 5 Pound Powder:
For those wondering, natural means no artificial sweeteners and tasting ingredients were added. The end result is a whey protein that dissolves very easily and tastes more refreshing. Some people prefer the added taste to make taking whey protein more delicious but for those who want the same quality and without the added ingredients this is for you. Also for me, this digest way better than the un-natural whey protein.
