## Description

Whey Protein Isolates (WPI) are the purest form of whey protein that currently exists. WPIs are costly to use, but rate among the best proteins that money can buy. That's why they're the first ingredient you read on the Gold Standard 100% Whey™ label. By using WPI as the primary ingredient along with premium ultra-filtered whey protein concentrate (WPC), we're able to pack 24 grams of protein into every serving to support your muscle building needs after training. ON's attention to detail also extends to mixability. This superior quality powder has been instantized to mix easily using a shaker cup or just a glass and spoon. There's no doubt that this is the standard by which all other whey proteins are measured.

Review: Rating: ★★★★★ (5/5 - The Habitual Shaker's Staple) Review: Let’s not overcomplicate this. This isn't a potion, a secret, or a bio-hack. It’s the reliable, slightly chalky-tasting workhorse of the fitness world. It’s the beige sedan of protein powders—unlikely to win a beauty contest, but it will start every morning and get you faithfully from A to B(ulk), or from B(ulk) to C(ut). The tub arrived with the solemn heft of a civic monument. The seal broke with a satisfying thwump of promised gains. The powder itself is finer than a philosopher’s debate on reps vs. sets, and it mixes with a few firm shakes into a suspension that is, let’s say, earnest. It’s not a milkshake from a parlour that plays 50s music; it’s fuel. The Double Rich Chocolate flavour tastes reassuringly like a chocolate that has done its homework and is thinking about its future. Does it work? Put it this way: I’m not writing this review from Mount Olympus, but my post-lift aches feel more… productive. It’s the edible equivalent of putting a hard hat on your muscles. It provides the unglamorous, essential bricks for the repairs and renovations you’re demanding of your body after politely asking it to move heavy objects repeatedly. Five stars. It’s consistent, it’s effective, and it knows its job. My shaker bottle and I have reached a new understanding.
Review: I’ve been using this whey protein post-workout and also in overnight oats. The smell and taste is great, mixes easily without clumps and provides 24g of protein per scoop along with BCAAs; an all-in-one supplement. The packaging is simple but sealed well, giving peace of mind that it’s fresh. The only small annoyance is locating the scoop at the top of a new tub, but otherwise it’s perfect. Definitely worth the extra money for the quality and reliability of Optimum Nutrition products. Highly recommended.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Body Fortress Super Advanced has 30 gr protein per scoop, and ON has 24 gr.  what's the difference?**
A: ON Gold Standard has a 31g serving size, and Body Fortress Super Advanced Isolate has a 38g serving size. Larger serving size = more protein. It's really as simple as that. It's got nothing to do with the "bro science" in some of the answers. To be sure, if you convert them to the same 31 gram serving size, then ON has 24 grams of protein, and Body Fortress has 24.5 grams of protein. 

Companies play around with the serving sizes so they can put "60 grams of protein!!!!!!" in the advertising, but if you do the math, then it's usually about the same amount.

**Q: Will consuming more whey (protein) help my rotator cuff tear heal?**
A: There is NO healing of a rotator cuff tear...none! This has to be surgically repaired.  IF you're lucky, you may be able to have an endoscopic repair which takes much less time to recover. Otherwise, you will have to have a "full Open" repair which is much more involved and takes longer to heal. Trust me, I have been there...3 times all coming from very heavy benches and they were all "full open repairs." The first one I had was only a 1 centimeter tear and it never healed in 3 years. IF you have a true torn rotator cuff, NOTHING, (except surgery), will correct the problem.  ANYBODY who tells you they had one and they did this and that and it finally healed up didn't have a tear to begin with. More likely just a bad strain or severe inflammation from overworking the deltoid area. And be prepared for lots of rehab work and it will take you from 9-12 months to get back to where you were before the tear.

**Q: Is there a reason why the 5 lb is so much thicker than the 2 lb? i tried the 2 lb, liked it, and order 5...outside of jug seems the same...**
A: Get something like an "AMIR 500g/0.01g Digital Kitchen Scale". They're twelve bucks & quite accurate.  I suspect the powder is compressed, making the scoops a bit heavy.  Measuring by weight instead of volume should provide more consistent results.

**Q: If I were to make protein shakes with single serving size portions about 5 days/week, how long do you think a 2 lb container would last me? 5 lb? THX**
A: I mean, my dude, i am  horrifying at math but all you really need to do is look at the servings in each container. So 29 servings.  .we already know there are 4 weeks in a month. 4×5 is 20 so that's 1 month right there. Since there is only 9 servings left... That's another week (5 days) and another week, all but one day (4 servings left)  so a month and a half would be how long the smaller one would last you. If it's the 5lb pack. Simply double that ... 1 1/2 doubled is 3 months... (You still have 1 lb left, which we know, that from your 2 lb container, you get about 14 servings in a lb) (since 2 lbs is 29) which brings you to another 3 (almost) weeks.


Making it almost 4 months of supplies. Offering the best offer for someone like you who has as many as you do (but your best bet may be going to Costco or another place with bulk bulk)
