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

For best results, mix up your shake 30-60 minutes after you work out, or have it as an anytime snack in your balanced, high-protein diet. 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.

The highest quality no nonsense whey protein product for the best value.

how many ounces of liquid do you mix with this protein?
liliana h

Best Answer:  I generally prefer to take this powder with milk and mix with ground coffee. For two scoops of this protein I roughly add 400 ml (around 14 ounces) of milk. But be sure to take sufficient fluids during the day as protein needs lot of liquids to digest. Hope this helps.

Ankush K
Does it contain glutamine ?
A shopper

Best Answer:  Yes it contains over 4 grams of glutamine and glutamic acid.

Angela
Does it come with the scooper/spoon?
Oscar G.

Best Answer:  Yes, I had to dump out about 2 pounds into smaller container to find it. Also the top has a zip type lock, that white little plastic piece that slides.

As a dietary supplement, whey protein is very popular among bodybuilders, athletes, and people who just want additional protein in their diet — and with good reason. High-quality proteins are an important part of maximizing the benefits of exercising and muscle building. When working out, muscles experience small tears that need to be rejuvenated during rest in order to promote growth. The healing of these small tears is what ultimately adds muscle volume. Gold Standard Whey Chocolate is the perfect addition to any post-workout routine for those who want to build lean muscle. Add volume and calories to your meals without sacrificing nutrition with Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein Double Rich Chocolate today.
