Optimum Nutrition have been the dominant player in the whey protein market for years, and their flagship product is Gold Standard Whey Protein – also known as 100% Whey Protein. While other manufacturers may be happy to keep their product the same year in year out, Optimum Nutrition are constantly striving to make their Gold Standard Whey Protein better and better with each generation – ensuring it truly does remain the gold standard.

An incredible amount of time and money has gone into the research and development of Gold Standard Whey Protein and it shows in their finely tuned proprietary blend which includes 4 different treatments of whey protein:

• HydroWhey Hydrolyzed Whey Peptides
• Ultrafiltered Whey Protein Concentrate
• Ion-Exchange Whey Protein Isolates
• Microfiltered Whey Protein Isolates

A lot of what’s on the market is low quality whey (that is, low concentration) and this is certainly not an issue with Gold Standard Whey Protein. At approximately 79% purity, it’s low in lactose, fat and carbs.

Other important and noteworthy features of Gold Standard Whey Protein are:

• The addition of HydroWhey to make it the fastest acting Optimum Nutrition product yet…
• Added lactase and Aminogen® digestive enzymes to ensure thorough and quick digestion – making this excellent whey brand accessible to the lactose intolerant…
• Added glutamine (4g per scoopful) to increase recovery and stop heavy weight training running down your immune system…
• Biologically active whey microfractions: Alpha-lactalbumin, Glycomacropeptides, Beta-lactoglobulin, Immunoglobulin G (IgG), Lactoferrin, lactoperoxidase.

Gold Standard Whey Protein comes in 16 delicious flavors, and is consistently voted among the top brands for taste.
