In muscle building, getting enough protein is one thing; absorbing that protein is another. Optimum Nutrition Platinum Hydrowhey is a hydrolyzed whey protein – which means it has been broken down into smaller peptides (mimicking partial-digestion) making it the fastest absorbing whey protein Optimum Nutrition have ever created.

Added micronized Leucine, Isoleucine, and Valine Branched Chain Amino Acids for greater muscle building, and digestive enzymes for greater absorption.

Each 39g scoop contains 30g of hydrolyzed whey protein isolate, and unlike many hydrolyzed whey proteins which have a bitter, unpleasant taste, true to form, Optimum Nutrition have ensured their Platinum Hydrowhey is a cut above.

Furthermore, as you would hope from a hydrolyzed whey protein isolate, each serving contains a minute 2g of carbohydrates – no sugars. As for fat content, again, minute: 1g per serving (0.5g from saturates). All in all, each serving is 140 calories.

As with whey protein in general, but especially faster acting hydrolysates, Optimum Nutrition Platinum Hydrowhey is best taken post-workout, and in the morning or even pre-workout.

Flavors include: Supercharged Strawberry, Turbo Chocolate and Velocity Vanilla.
