    Recommended I got the Vanilla Ice Cream flavor, which tastes nothing like Vanilla Ice Cream... its a bit chalky, not as good as i thought it would be, but the amount of amino acids in this thing is awesome. they also give just about the perfect amount of protein at 25 grams. The value is crazy, since i bought the bonus size i got 92 servings. i only take this for post workout. it help me retain my muscle mass and still lose weight. any ways, this is worth every penny.

    Recommended being using ON whey for a good while now,great value,mixes very well,and is a great moring or workout protein.i did notice that if i took more than 2/3 servings a day it didnt agree with my stomach and others have said this too.I noted taste as a pro and a con as some flavours are awful with water such french vanilla but some are great double choc,banna cream...
    overall great whey protein,and if someone was looking where to start with supplements this would be a Prime choice

    Recommended Whey Protein should be the cornerstone of every bodybuilding stack. You cycle, to my knowledge, nitric oxide and creatine but what is always there? Whey Protein and it doesn't get any better than Gold Standard 100% Whey by Optimum. It has 24 grams of muscle building protein. It has been a few months since I took it so I don't have the supplement facts with me but I can tell you that I was NEVER sore after I took this product and I saw some amazing gains with this product. I noticed improvement on every type of lift imaginable. This is a solid protein for beginners like myself, and even the most hardened lifter. You can't go wrong with this protein.

    Recommended I think this is one of the better proteins out there. Not the very best but its up there. The price is very good and the flavors are ok. I like the cookie and cream. Then i started to run out went to GNC (was in a pinch and could not wait) Found some vanilla ice cream on sale for 15.99 2 lbs thought awsome this sounds tasty. WRONG the worst i mean worst flavor of any protein i have ever taken. But i still love this protien

    Yea you can take this i take a scoop 20 mins before workout and a scoop right after workout. Dont take more then 1 scoop at a time cause your body will not be able to use all of it and your will be wasting your money.

    Recommended This is quite possibly the best bang for the buck in protein in my opinion. All Optimum proteins taste great and mix smoothly with minimal to no clumping. Whey absorbs quickly so is ideal in both pre and post workouts and side by side with other proteins throughout the day. I stand by Optimum proteins of any category and strongly recommend them to anyone seeking protein supplementation. This protein also comes with lots of BCAA's and glutamine which is just an added bonus for a very cost effective protein.

    Recommended What can I say that hasnt already been said. This is by far one of the best if not the best protein shakes on the market. There are no extras, no everything but the kitchen sink formula, just the right protein that your body needs to build muscle. I thoroughly enjoy this product and the flavor (chocolate mint) is fantastic. It tastes just like the mint chocolate chip ice cream. It has plenty of servings (5lb tub) to last awhile, and has a good amount of protein per serving. This product also has a digestive enyme in it, to help your body breakdown and better utilize the ingredients, and does not leave you feeling bloated. This is a wonderful product and I recommend it to anyone looking for a great protein.

    Recommended 100% Whey is the best everyday protein i have come across. i have tried many expensive proteins but none compare to this product. Very affordable compared to other brands plus a range of great flavours.
    i use it as an after workout protein and also for a morning shake to sustain my protein intake.
    this product is great for growth of lean muscle, i have been able to achieve consistent defined muscle growth.
    good for beginners and pros

    Recommended ON has quality products there is no doubt about it. This is the best post workout whey protein on the market today. I realize that they have the Hydro whey out now, but they do not show the percentages of the hydrolysis and until they do I am sticking with this, VERY QUALITY product.
    The taste is average and nothing special. The mix ability is top notch as it will dissolve with only water and a spoon.The results are second to none. This is an A+ product and I would recommend to anyone.

    to winafight...Nitrix & 100% Whey are completely different. Nitrix is a NO supp and should help you with size, but i dont recommend it for you. i dont think Nitrix will hurt you too much, but yer alittle on the young side, and you dont wanna mess with yer body chemistry too much right now. if you wanna get bigger try a gainer like True-Mass. however though i dont remember having a whole lotta cash at 15-16 yrs.old, so 100% Whey should help you fine. Nitrix and True-Mass run expensive...

    NOT Recommended went through 2 5lb tubs of this stuff and i didn't see the kind of results that ive seen with other proteins like Wheybolic Extreme 60 or ProNos. i understand the big differences with isolate and concentrate proteins but i figured with the reviews that this guy gets that it would be worth it. its not. i would only drink this with meals. taking post workout is worthless. the best thing this protein offers is that it's really really cheap. but that's what you get with concentrate protein. the only way i would use this is if i found one 75% off at a supplement store because it was about to expire. not a fan. i know a lot of people like this brand, but im not a fan

    Recommended Cannot say much more than has already been said about this product. Great well-rounded protein. Good price. As far as flavors go...french vanilla creme is solid but the vanilla taste is a little weak. Rocky road is amazing if you can find it. Double rich chocolate is disgusting...its more of a dark chocolate that has a bad aftertaste. Extreme milk chocolate is also solid.

    Recommended This is an excellent whey protein product. I have been using it for a little over a year now and have had excellent results as far as size, strength, and recovery. I am reviewing the french vanilla creme flavor as this is the only one I have tried to date. I like to mix it with nonfat milk and either blueberries or strawberries in a blender. While the taste does not compare to Muscle Milk, the fat content does not either. This protein is just that, protein without all of the excess fat that is contained in brands such as Muscle Milk. The value is also excellent. You are truly getting a great product for a great price!

    Recommended Well to start off, I think that this product is one of the best values availiable out there. They aren't trying to be flashy with in-your-face labels and all that. These guys just make a serious, affordible, and effective product. I work out on and off. Unfortuanately i can never seem to stick to a schedule for more then a month or two =/ But i've worked out enough to go through a 2lb tub of the mint chocolate flavor. My longest stretch that i worked out for was about 5 weeks during which i took 1 heaping scoop of this in a shake with skim milk after each workout. Tastes amazing for whey. Sometimes i forget its even a whey supplement because if you use a good shaker cup (I have one I bought from GNC) theres almost no clumps. (I just bought cookies and cream flavor. Its good but I liked mint choc better) I stacked that with one scoop of a Wal-mart brand creatine blend after my workouts. Using these two i made really good strength gains and i could see a visible improvement in my arms and chest after about 2-3 weeks. I recommend this product to anyone that wants a good protein supplement to add to their workouts. Quality stuff here :D

    Recommended i have used 100% Whey for about a month now and has really helped in becoming stronger than i was and made me build a lot of muscle over this month. i started taking 1 scoop in the morning and another scoop after each work-out. now im taking 2 scoops in the morning and 2 every post-workout. the taste(cookies and cream) is delisious and mixes very easily. i havent had any side effects what so ever. i havent gained any extra fat as i did with " EAS 100% Protein ".

    Recommended I just reviewed Pro Complex as being one of the best proteins out there, in my opinion, but I have to also recognize a protein thats been a part of my arsenal for a while now. 100% Whey from ON is one of the least expensive, higher quality products out there. The flavors are all good, we all have our preferences. For a straight whey protein, this is my choice. It has a great profile, not as good as Pro Complex, but solid none the less. And its really inexpensive. I try to keep a back up "man tub" of 100% Whey somewhere in the house because its good any time you want a fast digesting protein that tastes great. I take this with meals, after workouts or on the go. Again, Pro Complex I believe to be the better of the two, but this product is a sure thing all the way around.

    wow you can take two scoops man becuase its a whey ISOLATE and concentrate blend its turns out to be like 80 20 isolate to concentrate and if you figure it out its like 20 g of isolate to every 4 g of concentrate. so your gonna see results in time man just pound it out dude its no ph or aas so give it a chance brah!

    1. 2 cups or 2 scoops? cause either way you're wasting it. you're body can only absorb about a scoop's worth of Gold Standard because it's a whey concentrate at one time.

    2. you really expect to see major results from whey protein?

    do some research before deciding on a supplement next time.

    NOT Recommended Ok i am going to be straight up, I bought 16 flavor variety pack thinking i will find a flavor that i would like but boy was i wrong. Milk chocolate was the most tolerable all the others were not very good. Strawberry and friut punch left huge clumps not cool!! Ok enough about the taste... Results were the same as any other whey protein that i have been taking for the last 10 years of my life. Will not buy again!

    whey is whey...it isn't meant to do anything but fuel your muscles. but Gold Standard does have a better BCAA profile then most.

    but really, get over the taste. if that was the biggest turnoff for you then go to Muscle Milk or some other worthless protein powder that only concentrates on taste
