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.

There is only a slight hint of Banana. At most this tastes like thick banana water. This is just plain gross.

Strawberry Banana
I've been using this protein powder for over a year. I've tried a couple different flavors, but the strawberry banana is my favorite. I mix it with oat milk and add 1 Tablespoon of Greek yogurt. YUM!

Poor mixing, Upset stomach
Let me first say I never give ratings of products, but after using this I felt I owed it to others looking at this protein. This is by far the worst powder I have used. I can?t get it to mix with water or milk, it leaves chunky gummy balls of powder threw out. I?ve never had stomach issues with protein until this. Honestly extremely disappointed, especially after hearing how great ON protein was.

AWESOME 👌

JOSEPH A
This product (Gold Standard 100% Whey - Strawberry Banana) is listed as having NO artificial flavors or sweeteners and that it does not contain soy. Under "Other Ingredients" is listed artificial flavor, lecithin, and Sucralose. Where is the lecithin derived from? Why artificial flavor listed here, along with Sucralose when it is stated previously that it contains none?

Thank you.

    What is a “time-release” protein blend?

    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.

    Can protein shakes support weight loss?

    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?

    Protein supplements provide the nutrients your body needs to stimulate muscle protein synthesis and support recovery post-workout.

    • Individuals with weight management goals seeking a lower-calorie, high-protein option

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is micellar casein protein?

    Micellar casein is a milk protein that is digested more slowly than other proteins, providing an extended release of muscle-building amino acids that help prevent catabolism.

    What is catabolism?  

    Catabolism is the breakdown of protein. When your body goes for extended periods without food, or when it’s under significant metabolic stress during exercise, it can resort to catabolizing your muscles for energy.
