Authenticity Tips
-
FILL SIZE
Due to vacuum packing the tub may appear to be two-thirds full when opened. This is normal as the powder settles and does not impact on or decrease the weight or number of serves listed on the label.
-
NECKBAND
In order to conform to the direction of our sustainability policy and goals, we have decided to remove this part of the packaging. Packaging may vary for a certain period of time as this change takes into effect.
-
VACUUM SEAL
Optimum Nutrition protein tubs have a cardboard vacuum barrier that helps hold powder in place during shipping. This gloss white protective disk should be stuck to top of the tub.
-
BATCH NUMBER AND DATE
Every Optimum Nutrition product will display a printed Batch Number and Date. The Best Before Date and Batch Codes are located on the side of the tub or the rear of the large bags.
-
SCOOP
Gold Standard 100% Whey tubs (UK & EU) now contain a clear plastic scoop. There is no branding on this.
*Due to a recent changeover we added a clear plastic scoop. You may still find gold scoops in your tubs in the short term.
-
TUB DESIGN
Gold Standard 100% Whey Tubs (UK and EU) have a circular indentation on the bottom. There is also a line running through the middle.
What is protein?
Protein is made up of chains of 20 different amino acids, split into 9 essential amino acids, which cannot be made by the body and need to be eaten from food and 11 non-essential amino acids which the body can make.
Why is protein important for you?
Protein is an essential nutrient that we can’t live without it. We are literally made of protein, you need it for healthy skin, hair, nails, organs, bones, and muscle, it supports our movement, feeds your immune system and so much more.
Why Gold Standard 100% Whey?
Optimum Nutrition is the World’s #1 Sports Nutrition brand.* We have been trusted for over 35 years, and conducted over 100k quality and safety checks last year in our own production facilities^.
^Source: based on 2022 outputs
Whey protein will make me bulky?
False. This is totally untrue, your genetics and your strength training programme dictates how much muscle you build, protein only supports this training.
Whey protein is bad for my health?
False. There is absolutely no evidence that whey protein causes any negative health effects in healthy adults. Remember, whey protein comes from cheese making and is a food.

Taste: ★★★★☆
I opted for the French vanilla flavor, and I must say that it tastes surprisingly good for a protein supplement. It has a smooth and creamy texture when mixed with water or milk, and the flavor is not overly sweet or artificial. It’s enjoyable to drink, making it easier to incorporate into my daily routine.
Mixability: ★★★★★
One of the things I appreciate most about this whey protein powder is how easily it blends. There are no clumps or grittiness, and it dissolves effortlessly in my shaker bottle. This means no annoying bits at the bottom of my drink, which is a big plus.
Nutritional Content: ★★★★★
The nutritional profile of this product is impressive. With each serving, I get a substantial amount of high-quality protein, which is essential for muscle recovery and growth. It’s also relatively low in carbs and fats, making it suitable for those who are watching their macros.
Effectiveness: ★★★★★
After using this whey protein powder for a few weeks, I’ve noticed a positive impact on my muscle recovery. I experience less post-workout soreness, which allows me to stay consistent with my training. It has also contributed to my overall protein intake, helping me meet my daily protein goals more easily.
Value for Money: ★★★★☆
While it’s not the cheapest option on the market, I believe it’s worth the price for the quality you receive. The results I’ve seen in my fitness progress justify the cost.
Packaging: ★★★★☆
The packaging is sturdy and resealable, which helps keep the powder fresh. It also contains a scoop for precise measurements.
In conclusion, Optimum nutrition gold standard Whey Protein Powder has become a valuable addition to my fitness routine. It tastes great, mixes well, and delivers the protein I need for optimal recovery and muscle growth. If you’re serious about your fitness goals, I highly recommend giving this whey protein powder a try.
You usually get what you pay for, and there is a lot of decent competition from brands like Phd. Find a powder that fits your budget, has a good selection of bcca’s and a good spread of multivitamins is a bonus.
Finally, that is subjective and you have the fact that some people don’t really care too much what their PP tastes like. They just down it in one, which i understand. The ON gold standard in the rich milk chocolate blended with just the right amount of water, tastes decent to me. One of the best I have had.
It ain’t cheap, but quality never is.
Taste is fantastic, feels like I’m having a strawberry milkshake, but I also use it for my overnight oats. That coupled with skyr strawberry ends up giving me about 65g of Protein in one serving and the taste is fantastic.
Don’t get me wrong, the strawberry isn’t the only good tasting one, I really enjoy the banana one as well but doesn’t go as well with overnight oats.
I find that it can be a bit too thick though using milk so I tend to use it with almond milk or skimmed milk as it’s a bit smoother.

Buona solubilità e sapore ottimo
It really doesn't add any flavor! That's great. It makes yogurth slightly runnier but that's it.
