About This Product

  • Helps build and maintain muscle
  • Supports endurance and recovery
  • Instantized powder for easy mixing
  • Vanilla Ice Cream 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

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.

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. Contents sold by weight not volume. Some settling will occur. Store in a cool, dry place. Serving scoop included, but may settle to the bottom during shipping.

I picked this because it is one of the few brands that was found to be completely safe and lead free. And I prefer Vanilla flavor. Reviews are also very positive.

DIMITRI C
I am 13 years old is it OK for me to take this. Is it not recommended for me and or would it be considered unhealthy ?
A shopper

Best Answer:  I have not heard of any reason that anyone should not use whey protein based on age, it comes from milk and that is considered a good protein source especially since your body is rapidly growing at that age. Always make sure you drink enough water so that it's easy for your kidneys, and a good idea to blend with frozen berries when you can for all those good antioxidants!

John F
Does it have creatine in it? I'm looking for non-creatine based protein powders.
Julia T.

Best Answer:  There's no creatine in it. I'm actually still a VIP customer with the max healthy awards possible. Got plenty of whey experience -and recommend you to shop at bodybuilding .com. There, often you get free bonus items along with the 100% Whey!

Lucas R
Is this shake is for general health/weight loss or weight gain?? The product description doesn't specify it's uses and I would hate to spend the money on a product that is gonna make me "bulk up". Thanks for your replies.
Brittany E

Best Answer:  Protein helps repair muscle tissue that is broken down after a workout. It will not cause you to bulk up. You would need to be lifting heavy and eating a ton of calories for that and even them it is hard for women to gain "bulk".

Whey protein is fast digesting and optimum is the brand I love the most!

Hope that helps!

Shawn L H
Is this product good for people that are diabetic, with high blood pressure and trying to loose weight?
Nancy A.

Best Answer:  if you are diabetic, its better to consult your doctor... since these supplements are processed foods and not a regular diet for a normal man. u dont wanna make your sugar levels go bad...!!

Aditya K
Does this product contain high fructose corn syrup? The label doesn't list it as an ingredient but it's not clear what makes up the "natural and artificial flavors" ingredient.
A shopper

Best Answer:  No, this item does not contain high fructose corn syrup.

Best Answer:  One scoop in a glass of juice works best for me

MARTY M
New to the workout world and I am over weight and I am trying to loss weight but still replenish my body with what it needs. What would be best?
Chris S.

Best Answer:  The vanilla is great but seriously i love the cookies and crean and the rockie road way more! I do 1 scoop of whey and one half cup of milk and a half cup of some pureed berry or half of a banana then i put about 5 ice cubes in a pint mason jar and shake it good then put in the freezer for before the jim. Its like a rich yummy milkshake or you can blend it up with the ice cubes then freeze it. I have one usually after my work out or before. Either way i eat on the opposite end. Glen

Im looking for a new protein powder, hoping this is the one! As I am a vegetarian, protein is super important for me especially since I workout 6 days a week. My diet: protein shake, breakfast, protein shake, lunch, protein shake, and sometimes dinner. Would it be okay to take this powder 3x a day? Im trying to tone/build muscle.

    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.
