Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Muscle Building and Recovery Protein Powder With Naturally Occurring Glutamine and BCAA Amino Acids, Double Rich Chocolate Flavour, 149 Servings, 4.53 kg

I'm not going to write a long review; however, I have trained for 20 years and achieved much in my training and continue to do so. Supplements is something I have experience with as I have tried many! Are supplements worth it? Yes and no. Some are, protein being one. Find a good one and keep it!!! Try many to find that one, but once you do, keep it. Merely find a better price for it. This is the best protein Whey I know. **"Not the best protein"** but the best Whey Concentrate for money. I have used so many! The other true rival and it is very much discussed over the web is, MyProtein Whey. Great value, good tasting, gentle and works. But having used both for plenty of time, OP-N-GSW is just the king in my opinion. I use three mounted scoops a day and it lasts me over two months, tastes amazing (vanilla and choccy being faves from the selection available) with many flavours to choose from at other suppliers/websites. I also find this the most gentle on the stomach for those that suffer, and it does not bloat me!! Only milk (that I use) cause any issue which I don't really experience with milk, so its the supplement and ingredients that these powders contain for sure. I found this the best price on Web, jointly with dolphin-fitness but Amazon Prime delivers in one day and has more flavour variety. Well done Amazon! Hands down for me, best Whey Concentrate/Isolate supplement on the market for your money. As I said, you may have better products but for money, works, value, dosing and all other factors I've mentioned above..............?

Very good quality

Highly recommended as this allows me to more easily control my macro nutrient intake without worrying about the excess carbs but knowing exactly how much good quality protein I'm getting. I only use one scoop and a half a day in combination with my usual meals and this is perfect. I tend to mix is with almond milk and it makes a reasonable tasting shake. When mixed with water, it is very runny when mixing with the recommended amount of water (300ml I think of the top of my head) but it does mix incredible well after a few shakes and rarely do I get any lumps! The taste is unfortunately typical, I think, of strawberry protein shake flavour but its ok - unfortunately few have come close to the raspberry yoghurt taste of the oatgain shake I was taking previously but I do prefer this 100% Gold Standard especially for the cutting phase and it has become more important to me since starting my personal training qualifications. THe bag is huge (although I have found it doesn't seal great because of the square shape but it will last forever using only one scopp as per serving guidelines and its amazing how much protein one scoop can pack!

So tasty! It helps me to keep my protein intake high enough.

#1 Protein powder with worse seal. Powder is in the seal therefore it does not close properly. Might cause problems in certain situations.

The low calorie count, absence of junk, and high protein content per serving make this a winner for me. There are less expensive options if you're into bulking to cut later and not too concerned about the calorie quality, but if you're in maintenance or taking a lean gains approach, this is hard to beat really. It just affords you more control and options with foods, while having the helpful bump with the protein targets with this protein powder. Not as tasty as some (chocolate), but doesn't taste bad by any means. It's nice. I rate this very good. I trust the claimed protein concentration. My muscle gains are consistent to previous brands I've enjoyed, just without the waistline expansion. For all the reasons I've written about, I think yeah, it earns its gold standard name for my needs. Nice work ON. Very nice.

I have used quite a few different protein powders over the years as I like to try different things out until I find something I really like. This was that thing. The double chocolate flavour tastes great (subjective opinion), the powder blends great in both a blender and in a shaker - not many protein powders can claim the latter! What this means is that you don't taste clumps of congealed product every now and then and you certainly won't choke to death* when taking a sip during (before or after) a workout. *I take no responsibility for you choking to death on this product. Gone are the days of you having to drink your protein shake slowly in the corner of the gym near the ridiculous thigh machine in fear of getting caught coughing all over the gym and forever being known as 'that guy who got caught coughing up protein and spaghetti near the ridiculous thigh machine.' Gone are the days of you wondering why everyone is laughing at you this time and not your biceps because you didn't realise that you were smiling with a scoop of protein glued together with liquid stuck to your teeth. Gone are the days of after a long hard workout, you finish your refreshing protein drink, your muscles increase at sheer testosterone indueced manliness of it all and feeling like a man you walk over to the sink and opening your shaker using your newly formed deadlift grip, you bench press the tap on for three reps and start washing the shaker only to realise that all the protein is still there stuck to the lid. Down the sink it all goes along with your gains as your muscles shrivel up like a bodybuilders youknowwhat. You were better off doing cardio. This powder is revolutionary. This even mixes really well with oats. Try some oats with milk, blueberries, honey and a scoop or two of this in the morning for maximum gains.

A1: Again. Thank you 😊
