Yes, you can mix it with milk (dairy or non-dairy) for a creamier texture and to add extra calories and nutrients, if desired. This may alter the total calorie, fat, and sugar content per serving.

As Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey is derived from milk, it is suitable for vegetarians but not for vegans.

Store the container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Always keep the lid tightly sealed after each use to maintain product freshness and prevent clumping.

This product contains ingredients derived from milk (whey protein). Always check the full ingredient list on the product packaging for specific allergen information and warnings if you have dietary sensitivities.

BCAAs (Branched-Chain Amino Acids) – Leucine, Isoleucine, and Valine – are essential amino acids that play a crucial role in muscle protein synthesis and can help reduce muscle breakdown. Glutamine and Glutamic Acid are amino acids important for immune function and muscle recovery. They both contribute to the product's effectiveness in supporting muscle health.

Ensure you add liquid to your shaker cup *before* adding the powder. Shake vigorously for at least 20-30 seconds. Using cold liquid or a shaker ball/wire whisk can also improve mixability.

Adjust the amount of liquid used. For a stronger flavor, use less liquid (e.g., 6 fl oz). For a milder flavor, use more liquid (e.g., 10 fl oz or more). You can also try mixing with different liquids like milk instead of water.

Start with a half serving to allow your body to adjust. Ensure you are well-hydrated throughout the day. If discomfort persists, consult a healthcare professional. Check the product label for any specific allergen information.
