      Product Info

      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.

      Good taste and mixes well
      I've tried different whey protein powder mixes and the brand does matter. When I make shakes it mixes very well and doesn't clump up or have too much of an overwhelming taste. Keep doing a good job and I'll keep choosing products from ON.

      Is this product gluten free? It doesn't say anywhere.
      Rich M.Jan 23, 2013

      Best Answer:  I see Maltodextrin and modified food starch listed on the ingredients, both of which are sometimes made from wheat products. So unless otherwise listed by the company, I'd stay away from this if you have gluten issues.

      What is the sweetener used in this product? I do not see anything listed in the product info. regarding this. Thanks!
      Katherine CFeb 23, 2014

      Best Answer:  Not sure but it is some artificial sweetner. It is a low carb product. My doctor told me to be wary of protein drinks because many have tons of sugar. You can tell from the ratio of carbs to protein this doesn't.

      Im trying to lose weight without bulking up when exercise, it this good?
      Elia MJun 23, 2014

      Best Answer:  The only thing that is going to make you "bulk up" is maintaining a calorie surplus. If you want to lose weight(fat) you have to stay in a calorie deficit. This a a good alternative to a regular meal when you are short on time and can't prepare something to eat. Just remember; calories in must be less than calories out in order to lose fat.
