Review: A little pricey but well worth it - Gold Standard Whey Protein is one of the best, if not the best, protein powders available. The protein content is better than most, it tastes decent and shakes well with no horrible lumps. If you can afford it, go for it. It is on the pricier side but you get what you pay for, especially when it comes to shakes. I've tried loads of alternatives over the years but this beats everything hands down for quality and content. Cheaper powders give me wind, often leave a manky aftertaste, and don't have anywhere near as much protein per scoop. I recently joined a gym again for the first time in nearly 15 years and decided to go for this after lots of research. MaxiMuscle was my go-to protein shake back then but I decided to try Gold Standard this time and wouldn't go back to anything else.
Review: An excellent product, easy to mix, tastes great - A nice whey protein deal, very cheap and cheerful, great sizes available, nice and flavourful, easy to mix and shake, does not cause problems with the stomach, helps muscle to grow rapidly, has all the good, highly recommend. Great for recovery, tastes great, comes with a scoop and it also gives the measurements for each scoop.

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. We are literally made of protein, you need it for healthy skin, hair, nails, organs, bones, and muscle, it supports our movement, feeds your immune system and so much more.

**Q: Why Gold Standard 100% Whey?**
A: Optimum Nutrition is the World’s #1 Sports Nutrition brand.* We have been trusted for over 35 years, and conducted over 100k quality and safety checks last year in our own production facilities^. ^Source: based on 2022 outputs

**Q: Whey protein will make me bulky?**
A: False. This is totally untrue, your genetics and your strength training programme dictates how much muscle you build, protein only supports this training.

**Q: Whey protein is bad for my health?**
A: False. There is absolutely no evidence that whey protein causes any negative health effects in healthy adults. Remember, whey protein comes from cheese making and is a food.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best whey protein on the market
*by J***H on 23 June 2015*

Best whey protein on the market. Not as cheap as it used to be but you can't beat it for its nutritional value. Uses mostly whey Isolate so better absorbed quicker I believe. Started out using maximuscle when I walked into a GNC store as it was recommended by the sales assistant (everyone first does it) Then used USN and PHD for abit. I was then recommended this by a friend and have been using it for the last 2 years. You get 24g of protein per scoop. I think the scoop itself is 31g. Around 4g glutamine and 5g Bcaas(There are more values but you can read the label). This is better nutrition compared to other products I have used where the ratio of scoops used to the protein it packed was not great. I usually always get the delicious strawberry flavour as I didn't quite like the taste of double rich chocolate. The whey mixes really well and you can even stir it (that's how well it mixes). It tastes great with both water and milk(I take with water 90% of time). Can't complain as it does what it's supposed to when accompanied with a good diet and exercise.
