FAQs

What is Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein?

It's a high-quality whey protein powder, with fast-absorbing whey protein isolate as its main ingredient, designed to support muscle growth and recovery, particularly after exercise.

When is the best time to take this protein powder?

It's best enjoyed in the morning or during the 30 minutes just before or immediately after training for optimal muscle recovery and support. It can also be consumed between meals to boost protein intake.

How do I prepare a serving?

Mix one scoop (included in the tub) with 180-240 ml (6-8 fl oz) of cold water. For a smoother mix, use a shaker cup. You can also mix it with milk for a creamier shake.

Is this product suitable for vegetarians?

Yes, as it is derived from milk, it is typically suitable for ovo-lacto vegetarians. It is not suitable for vegans.

What does 'Informed Choice certified' mean?

Informed Choice is a quality assurance program for sports nutrition products. This certification means the product has been regularly tested for substances prohibited in sport by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), providing peace of mind for athletes.

Are there other flavors or sizes available?

Yes, Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey is available in a variety of sizes and flavors, including Double Rich Chocolate, Banana Cream, and other Vanilla Ice Cream sizes.

Does it contain any allergens?

Yes, it contains ingredients derived from milk (whey). Always check the product label for full allergen information and nutritional details.

Troubleshooting

Powder isn't mixing smoothly or has clumps.

Ensure you add liquid first, then the powder. Use a shaker bottle for best results. Adjust the amount of cold water (180-240ml) to find your preferred consistency. Shaking vigorously for at least 20-30 seconds should resolve most clumping.

Experiencing mild stomach discomfort after consumption.

Whey protein, especially isolate, is generally well-tolerated. If you experience discomfort, try starting with a smaller serving size to allow your body to adjust. Ensure adequate hydration throughout the day. If discomfort persists, consider consulting a healthcare professional.

The taste isn't as expected.

Taste can be subjective and vary based on the amount and type of liquid used. Try adjusting the volume of cold water or milk (between 180-240 ml) to suit your preference. Mixing with other ingredients like fruit can also alter the flavor profile.
