Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Protein Powder

Whey Protein Isolates are 90% pure protein by weight. They are the purest and most expensive form of whey protein that exists. That’s why they are the first ingredients you read on the 100% Whey Gold Standard label. By using Whey Protein Isolates as our primary protein source, we’re able to pack 24 grams of the purest, muscle-building protein per serving, with a lot less of the fat, cholesterol, lactose, and other stuff that you can do without. There’s no question this is the standard by which other whey proteins are measured.

Not as good as expected By: CLAUDE

Review posted on: Tue Aug 19 13:52:43 -0400 2008

We tried Mocha Cappuccino and Caramel Toffee Fudge. They don't taste good, strong artifical sweetner flavor. Probably should have gone with the Chocolate.

Best I've ever Tasted By: Christopher

Review posted on: Tue Nov 13 16:55:18 -0500 2007

Out off all the different protein shakes I've tryed I hated them all untill I came across Optimum Nutrition Extra Milk Chocolate, Taste like hersey chocolate milk. And it mixes so easily. I highly recommend this, you wont be dissapointed. And Nutraplanet sells it for a good price and there shipping is fast.

Good, cost effective By: David

Review posted on: Tue Nov 13 16:54:57 -0500 2007

French Vanilla flavor is good for a vanilla, though some may find it too sweet. Mixes easily with a spoon for me--I even mix it in my fat-free sugar-free yogurt! Good price for a good staple product.

Great Value By: Matthew

Review posted on: Tue Nov 13 16:54:45 -0500 2007

There's a reason why this protein is one of the best selling proteins on the market. It tastes great, it's affordable, and it contains quality ingredients from a reputable company that is known for its great protein powders. I like the vanilla, but some people swear the chocolate is the best.

Not a Fan By: Adam

Review posted on: Tue Mar 10 19:37:48 -0400 2009

I used to use ON Whey exclusively, for years, but after my last ON purchase I will never use this product again. I could live with the sub par taste, I never expected my protein to be dessert, but I do expect to be able to digest my protein powder. Even at half a scoop I found myself feeling bloated, anything more than half a scoop would have me repeatedly running(cautiously) to the nearest toilet. It was so bad I honestly thought that I had become lactose intolerant. I quickly learned that this was not the case after my wife had the exact same problem with this product. We both now use a different brand of whey with no trouble at all. Maybe it is just me, but I cannot build muscle with a protein supplement that I cannot use. I don't know if I just got my hands on a bad batch or what, but whatever the case I am disappointed as I had never had anything but praise for ON over the years.

Not all the flavors taste good By: Hayssam

Review posted on: Sat Jun 14 05:48:51 -0400 2008

Good protein, the price is good, but i don't know why everyone just loves the extreme milk chocolate, kissing ass? It doesn't taste "that" good, it's "alright", i liked the chocolate flavor, the best. Even cookie and cream suck... overall, good protein.

This isnt the best... By: Joseph

Review posted on: Wed Jan 16 23:43:24 -0500 2008

syntha 6 by bsn makes mochachino, that mixes the best and tastes the best, hell it tastes so good in water I haven't even mixed it with milk. out of all the proteins I have ever tried(ISS, ON, AMERICAN WHEY, 6 STAR) this is by far better, I don't like protein nor the taste but I enjoy syntha6 still, this would probably be second, that American whey stuff is good I have had cookies and cream, choc, choc mint and vanilla in ON's arsenal of stuff

Review posted on: Tue Feb 24 22:36:45 -0500 2009

Love it, easy on stomach in fasted state or in full state. Great before and after workouts. And when you just cant get a whole food, great meal supplement and can keep you going for at least an hour or two. cookies N cream is godly. With water its ok, but with milk does it taste amazing. Just like chocolate milk or something, really good! and im picky too!

Gold Standard Extreme Chocolate By: Dane

Review posted on: Thu Jan 29 13:24:27 -0500 2009

This is great protein! I have used others before and a lot of them do not taste great. I am not one that really cares about how they taste anyway, because I just mix it and drink it down fast. But the Extreme chocolate flavor is really good. Tastes like Hershey's chocolate mixed with milk. A great product for the calories, carbs, sugars, and protein. Good bang for the buck!

The best I have tried By: Garrett

Review posted on: Tue Dec 09 14:37:49 -0500 2008

This is the best protein I have tried, and I am getting great results using it along with my diet and workouts. Nutraplanet has good prices. I just ordered some and got a free shaker cup in my package.
