Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey

Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey: 24 g of protein in every scoop

Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey is a whey protein powder that gives you 24 g of protein per scoop from a blend of whey isolate, whey concentrate and whey peptides, with isolate as the main source. It suits lifters, runners and busy people who struggle to hit their daily protein from food. Each scoop also carries 5.5 g of naturally occurring BCAAs and mixes with a spoon, so it works in a shaker at the gym or a glass at home. Protein contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass.

What’s in one scoop

Values change slightly by flavour; check the label of the tub you choose. Contains milk and soy. Optimum Nutrition lists it as gluten-free and suitable for vegetarians.

Who Gold Standard Whey suits

• Everyday training: one scoop after your session or between meals adds 24 g of protein with few carbs and little fat.
• First tub of protein: a blend like this is the usual starting point; it tastes good with water and mixes without lumps.
• Cutting or sensitive to dairy? Compare it with an isolate from our whey protein isolate range, which has less lactose and fewer carbs per scoop.
• Building strength: many lifters pair it with creatine monohydrate, which they take every day alongside their protein.

How to use Gold Standard Whey

Add one scoop to 180–240 ml of cold water, milk or another drink and shake for 20–30 seconds. Use less liquid for a thicker, sweeter shake and more for a lighter one. Take it after training, between meals or with breakfast, whenever you need more protein in your day. Follow the directions on your tub and close the lid tightly after each use.

Sizes and flavours

Choose from 1 lb (0.5 kg, 14 servings), 2 lb (1 kg, 29 servings), 5 lb (2.3 kg, 74 servings) and 10 lb (4.5 kg, 149 servings).

Gold Standard Whey questions

Is Gold Standard Whey an isolate or a concentrate?

It is a blend. Each scoop combines whey protein isolate, whey protein concentrate and whey peptides, and Optimum Nutrition lists isolate as the main source. If you want an isolate only, look at Gold Standard 100% Isolate or the other powders in our whey isolate range.

How many scoops of Gold Standard Whey should I take a day?

Most people take one scoop a day, after training or between meals, and a second scoop on days when food alone does not reach their protein target. Mix one scoop with 180–240 ml of water or milk. Follow the directions on your tub.

Which size of Gold Standard Whey should I buy?

Pick by how often you use it. The 1 lb tub gives 14 servings and suits a first try or a new flavour. The 2 lb tub gives 29 servings, about a month at one scoop a day. The 5 lb (74 servings) and 10 lb (149 servings) tubs cost less per serving.

How can I check that my Gold Standard Whey is original?

Check three things when it arrives. The seal under the lid should be intact, importer details should be on a sticker or printed on the label, and the batch number and expiry date should be printed on the tub. Optimum Nutrition also prints an authenticity code that you can check on its website.

Gold Standard Whey or ISO 100: which one is right for me?

Gold Standard Whey suits most lifters who want 24 g of protein per scoop and a wide flavour choice. ISO 100 is a hydrolysed isolate with 25 g of protein and very little lactose, so it suits people who are sensitive to dairy or are cutting carbs closely.

Can women and beginners use Gold Standard Whey?

Yes. It is a food supplement that adds protein to your diet, so it works for anyone who finds it hard to reach their daily protein from meals. Start with one scoop a day. Food supplements don’t replace a varied diet. If you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, under 18, taking medication or have a medical condition, ask your doctor first.
