Extended Product Information

FAQs

What does 'fast-absorbing' mean for this protein?

Fast-absorbing means the protein, primarily whey protein isolate, is quickly digested and assimilated by your body. This rapid delivery of amino acids is ideal for immediate post-workout recovery when muscles are most receptive.

When is the best time to consume Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey?

For optimal results, consume one scoop in the morning, or during the 30 minutes just before or immediately after your training session to support muscle recovery and growth.

How should I mix this protein powder?

Mix one rounded scoop with 180-240 ml (approximately 6-8 fluid ounces) of cold water. Shake well in a shaker cup until fully dissolved.

What are BCAAs and Glutamine, and why are they important?

BCAAs (Branched-Chain Amino Acids) and Glutamine are critical amino acids that play vital roles in muscle protein synthesis, reducing muscle soreness, and aiding in recovery. This product contains them naturally.

What does 'Informed Choice Certified' mean?

Informed Choice certification indicates that the product has been tested for a wide range of substances prohibited in sport by LGC's world-class anti-doping laboratory. It provides assurance that the product is safer for athletes.

Can I use milk instead of water to mix the powder?

While the product is designed for mixing with cold water, you can mix it with milk if preferred. However, this will alter the nutritional content (calories, fats, sugars) of your shake.

How much protein is in one serving of Delicious Strawberry 2270g?

Info needed: [protein content per serving]. Please refer to the specific nutritional label on the product packaging for the exact protein content per serving for this Delicious Strawberry variant.

Troubleshooting

Powder clumps when mixing.

Ensure you are using cold water (180-240ml) and a shaker bottle. Add liquid first, then powder, and shake vigorously for 20-30 seconds. For best results, use a shaker bottle with a mixing ball or screen.

Flavor is too strong or too weak.

Adjust the amount of cold water you mix with the scoop. For a stronger flavor, use less water; for a milder taste, use more water within the recommended 180-240ml range.

Difficulty dissolving the last bits of powder.

Continue shaking for a few more seconds. The 'Easy & Convenient' mixing suggests it should dissolve well, but slight variations in liquid temperature or vigorousness of shaking can affect it. Ensure water is cold.
