Gold Standard Isolate: lean whey isolate from Optimum Nutrition
Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Isolate is a whey protein isolate powder made only from isolate, with part of it hydrolysed into smaller protein chains. Filtration removes most of the fat and sugar, so a 31 g scoop is more than 80% protein, about 25 g, with no more than 1 g of carbs and less than 1 g of fat. It is the Gold Standard option for lifters who are cutting, counting carbs or want less lactose than a whey blend. Protein contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass.
