Looking for Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard whey to complement your diet as part of your weight training, fitness or regular exercise routine? The range includes several sizes, recipes and varieties. That gives you plenty of choice, but it can also make it tricky to decide between a classic whey, a whey isolate or a more indulgent protein powder.
Before you order, watch out for these three common mistakes:
A serving of Gold Standard 100% Whey typically provides around 24 g of protein, depending on the flavour and pack size. However, values can vary slightly between products: some servings weigh 30 g, while others weigh 31 or 32 g.
To compare two products, check:
As a guide, several classic varieties contain between 74 and 80 g of protein per 100 g. Gold Standard 100% Whey typically combines whey isolate, whey concentrate and hydrolysed whey protein.
Classic whey is suitable for active adults who want to increase their daily protein intake, either after a workout or between meals. It also contains BCAAs naturally found in milk proteins. Of course, it’s no substitute for a varied, balanced diet.
Gold Standard 100% Isolate is based primarily on whey isolate. The Chocolate 450 g variety lists around 25 g of protein per serving, with around 0.3 g of sugar and 0.4 g of fat per serving. It may suit people looking to further limit their carbohydrate and fat intake, but be sure to check the label of the product you choose.
Please note: ‘isolate’ doesn’t mean the powder is free from allergens. It still contains milk, and soya may be used as an emulsifier.
Chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, cookies and cream, and chocolate hazelnut flavours don’t all have the same nutritional profile. For example, a cookies and cream recipe may contain biscuit pieces and wheat, while a classic chocolate version may sometimes have a shorter ingredients list.
Always check for:
A serving is usually mixed with 180 to 240 ml of cold water or milk. The best time to have it depends mainly on how you plan your meals: after a workout, at breakfast or between meals. If your daily diet already meets your needs, whey for weight training isn’t essential.
Why it suits this profile : At 300 g, this smaller size lets you try the flavour and formula without ending up with several kilos of a whey you don’t actually like.
You reduce the risk of buying a large amount of a flavour you don’t like or end up barely using.
Around 23.7 g of protein per serving, and can be mixed with water or milk.
Why it suits this profile : This variety is for those who prioritise a high protein content while keeping sugar and fat low.
The per-serving values are clearly listed, making it easier to tell a true isolate from a standard whey blend.
25 g of protein, around 0.3 g of sugar and 0.4 g of fat per 30 g serving.
Why it suits this profile : At 2,016 kg, this large size is designed for people who work out regularly and use protein powder several times a week.
With around 63 servings listed, you can compare the cost per serving rather than judging by the price of the tub alone.
24 g of protein and around 119 kcal per 32 g serving, mixed with 180 to 240 ml of liquid.
Why it suits this profile : The cookies and cream flavour adds a little variety to your post-workout drink or snack.
The product details specify biscuit crumbs, wheat, milk and soya, so check this information before ordering.
24 g of protein per serving, with around 119 kcal and 1.2 g of sugar per 32 g serving.
We’ve put together a comprehensive selection, updated in real time, of products that meet these selection criteria and European safety requirements.
Follow the serving instructions on the packaging and don’t exceed the recommended daily intake. Whey supplements a varied diet; it isn’t intended to replace meals. Keep the tub tightly closed in a cool, dry place, away from light and moisture.
The products reviewed are intended for adults. They contain milk proteins and, depending on the recipe, soya, wheat or other allergens. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, taking medication or have a known health condition, seek advice from a healthcare professional before using them.
Classic Gold Standard 100% Whey typically provides around 24 g of protein per serving and mixes quickly with water or milk. Whey isolate may be a good option if you’re looking for a lower sugar and fat content. Your choice depends mainly on your needs, tolerance, eating habits and budget.
Check the best-before date on the packaging. Once opened, close the tub carefully and store it in a dry place at a moderate temperature, away from moisture. Don’t use powder if its smell, texture or appearance has changed.
BCAAs are naturally present in milk proteins, so their presence in a serving doesn’t necessarily mean you need a separate supplement. When choosing a protein powder for sport, start by comparing the total protein content, ingredients, allergens and cost per serving, and consider how well it fits with your diet.
