I have a moderately sensitive stomach so I normally have issues with bad quality protein but I had none at all of this. It's been my go-to protein now and I've been seeing great results from it. On top of that it mixes well with both water or milk. Review: Great taste - As a newbie to protein powder this is the first I’ve come across that I really enjoy. I put it in smoothies or mix with soya milk and it’s lovely - rarely lumpy too which is a bonus! ## Features - Optimum Nutrition’s Gold Standard 100% WHEY is the world’s best-selling protein powder* designed to support your fitness journey from day one - FAST-ABSORBING whey protein with whey protein isolate as the main ingredient helps with muscle gain and supports recovery* after every training session - The ON whey protein formula is Informed Choice certified, contains naturally-occurring BCAAs and GLUTAMINE and is LOW IN SUGAR and fat - Available in a VARIETY OF SIZES and FLAVOURS: double rich chocolate, banana cream, vanilla ice cream, unflavored protein powder and more - EASY & CONVENIENT: mix one scoop in 180-240 ml of cold water; best enjoyed in the morning or/and during the 30 minutes just before or immediately after training ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B007VGDL1Q | | ASIN | B007VGDL1Q | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Allergen Information | Contains: Eggs, Gluten, Milk, Nut | | Benefits | Muscle Growth | | Best Sellers Rank | 128 in Health & Personal Care ( See Top 100 in Health & Personal Care ) 3 in Whey Nutrition Protein | | Brand Name | Optimum Nutrition | | Country Of Origin | United Kingdom | | Country of origin | United Kingdom | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,903) | | Customer reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,903) | | Diet Type | Gluten Free | | Flavour | Double Rich Chocolate | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05060245600507 | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Item Dimensions | 11.2 x 5.8 x 21.6 centimetres | | Item Nype Name | Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey | | Item Weight | 0.47 Kilograms | | Item model number | 1101522 | | Manufacturer | OPTIG | | Manufacturer | OPTIG | | Manufacturer Contact Information | 4 Waterside, Dublin 24, Ireland | | Manufacturer Part Number | 1101522 | | Material Type Free | Caffeine Free | | Model Name | Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey Protein Powder | | Model Number | 1101522 | | Net Content Volume | 0.47 Kilograms | | Number of Items | 1 | | Package Type Name | Bottle | | Product Dimensions | 11.18 x 5.84 x 21.59 cm; 465 g | | Protein | 24 g | | Protein Source | Whey | | Recommended Uses For Product | Post-Workout, Pre-Workout | | Total Servings Per Container | 15 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Optimum Nutrition - **Diet type:** Gluten Free - **Flavour:** Double Rich Chocolate - **Item weight:** 0.47 Kilograms - **Material Type Free:** Caffeine Free - **Number of items:** 1 - **Product benefits:** Muscle Growth - **Protein source:** Whey - **Recommended uses for product:** Post-Workout, Pre-Workout - **Servings per container:** 15 ## Images ![Gold Standard 100% Whey Muscle Building and Recovery Protein Powder With Naturally Occurring Glutamine and BCAA Amino Acids, Double Rich Chocolate Flavour, 15 Servings, 465 g - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71hZsJMbTML.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Flavor** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is protein?** A: Protein is made up of chains of 20 different amino acids, split into 9 essential amino acids, which cannot be made by the body and need to be eaten from food and 11 non-essential amino acids which the body can make. **Q: Why is protein important for you?** A: Protein is an essential nutrient that we can’t live without it.

The first thing that struck me was the taste—smooth, rich, and without the artificial aftertaste that plagues many other brands. My personal favorite is the Double Rich Chocolate, which mixes effortlessly with water or milk, making it a delightful post-workout treat. In terms of performance, this protein powder delivers exactly what it promises. With 24 grams of high-quality whey protein per serving, it provides the essential nutrients needed to fuel muscle growth and aid in recovery. I've noticed significant improvements in my muscle mass and a reduction in recovery time since incorporating it into my regimen. The addition of BCAAs and glutamine further enhances its effectiveness, ensuring that my muscles get the support they need after intense workouts. Another aspect worth mentioning is its mixability. Whether I use a shaker bottle or simply stir it with a spoon, the powder dissolves completely, leaving no clumps or gritty texture. This is a game-changer for anyone who has struggled with poorly mixed protein drinks in the past. Overall, Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Muscle Building and Recovery Protein Powder has become a staple in my fitness routine.
