      About This Product

      • Helps build and maintain muscle
      • Supports endurance and recovery
      • Instantized powder for easy mixing
      • Double Rich 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 31 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.

      Worth getting
      Repeat buyer. Good flavor. Good source of protein. I have used this in conjunction with exercise and a decent supplement plan for 3 months now. I'm almost 60. I've put on 3lbs of lean muscle. And that is resistance training on 2-3 days per week. I'm a beginner and this will continue to be part of my routine.

      The only protein powder that isn’t overly sweet, or have a weird aftertaste. Literally the only one that doesn’t taste weird. At worst, it tastes like Nesquick with less chocolate in it, but it’s much…

      does this product makes you gain weight?
      A shopperJan 5, 2015

        No, being in a caloric surplus makes you gain weight. This product is only 120 calories per serving so its like eating a small snack, except for this gives you a lot of protein which is good for building muscle.

        I am not eating dairy products at the moment but, for years I drank this in a smoothie of ice, almond milk, vanilla, honey or Splenda and this protein powder twice a day. Usually one for breakfast and one later for an afternoon or evening snack.

      What should I mix with this product?
      A shopperFeb 11, 2014

        You can mix it with almost anything. I thought it was great with just water alone. It's good with milk - use skim if you're trying to lose weight or fattier milk if you're trying to gain weight/muscle. I also like mixing it with coconut water. It's great blended with greek yogurt, ice, and a little water/milk (and even a banana) - it makes it like a milkshake. It's pretty versatile. Thep powder blends pretty well in just a shaker cup with a ball. Hope that helped!

      A shopperApr 10, 2014

        If you're using it as a meal replacement, then I'd take it for breakfast. You can blend it with fruits for a better shake, or just mix it with water if you're working out.
