Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey is engineered to be a foundational supplement for anyone looking to increase their protein intake, particularly around workouts. Its rapid absorption rate makes it ideal for post-exercise recovery, providing your muscles with the amino acids they need to repair and grow quickly.
Post-Workout Recovery: Mix one scoop with 6-8 ounces (180-240ml) of cold water or milk immediately after your training session. This helps kickstart the muscle repair process.
Between Meals: Consume a shake between main meals to maintain a steady supply of protein throughout the day, supporting muscle protein synthesis.
Breakfast Boost: Add a scoop to oatmeal, yogurt, or blend into a smoothie to increase the protein content of your first meal, helping with satiety and muscle support.
Cooking and Baking: Integrate into recipes for pancakes, muffins, or protein bars to make your snacks and meals more protein-rich.
Example Application: After an intense weightlifting session, mix a scoop of Double Rich Chocolate Gold Standard 100% Whey with skim milk in a shaker bottle. This provides 24g of protein and essential BCAAs to aid recovery, helping you prepare for your next workout.
Using your Gold Standard 100% Whey is straightforward, but proper setup, compatibility, and care will ensure you get the best experience and longevity from your product.
Measure Liquid: Pour 6-8 fl oz (180-240 ml) of cold water, milk, or your preferred beverage into a shaker cup or blender.
Add Powder: Scoop one rounded scoop of Gold Standard 100% Whey into the liquid.
Mix Thoroughly: For best results, secure the lid on your shaker cup and shake for 20-30 seconds until the powder is fully dissolved. If using a blender, blend for 15-20 seconds. The instantized formula ensures easy mixing, even with just a spoon.

Shelf Life: Refer to the 'Best By' date printed on the packaging for optimal potency and flavor. While usually stable beyond this date, quality may degrade over time.
