Ive tried many protien supplements just as many people had. But I think I found my favorite, Optimium Nutrition's 100% Whey Protein Gold Standard Extreme Chocolate.

Not only is this a great whey protien source but it also includes many of your daily amino acids in one serving. It even includes glutamine, enough so that if you take multiple servings of this product you may not even need your glutamine powder altogether!!

Its taste is the next best thing. I can only say that the Extreme Chocolate tastes great out of all of the many protiens ive tried. It was my first flavor I ordered and havent changed it since; and I buy at least one 5 lb tub a month for the past year or so.

It only has 1 gram of fat per serving and hardly anything else but some of the best, fastest absorbing protien money can buy. You will actually enjoy drinking your protien daily as oppose to dreading it everyday. It taste like a chocolate milkshake if you blend it up with some ice. If no blender dont worry because u can mix it with a cup of water/milk and a spoon, it mixes extremely well.

GOLD STANDARD TO THE EXTREME! If you are at all skeptical about this product let me be the first to tell you that this product definately works. The protein and bcaa profile is unlike any other. The whey to power ratio is 79 % which is much more than any other whey product that I know. The whey powder is 100% whey isolate with no whey concentrates in there. This product is the ultimate standard of a product to use for recovery and muscle growth. I have tried no product that gave me as quick results and recovery as this one did. The powder is also fast absorbing which is perfect for my pre workout and post workout nutrition. I take 1 serving on my off days and two on my workout days. If you buy this product I would go with the chocolate flavor because the taste is wonderful and I would buy the 10 pd bag because it is a better bargain to buy in bulk. Overall a really great product.

100% Whey Protein Gold Standard is by far the best protein that I have ever tried and tasted. This protein surpasses all others in its ability to deliver optimal protein to the body when in need. The protein is a 100% whey isolate which means no whey concentrates in there which means it is better for people who are lactose intolerant. Their protein is also loaded with bcaas which also help you recover quicker. I will break down each aspect.

Taste: 5/5 Perfect chocolate taste, doesn't taste weird at all.
Mix: 5/5 Mixes really easily I just use a blender so I dont see the difference.
Overall: 5/5 Product works like a charm and whenever I need to supplement my diet with protein I always intake On whey.

Suggested Use: Either mix it with water or milk in 10-12 oz. Take 2-3 times on workout days and 1-2 times on non workout days. Always take before workout and after workout.

If you never tried ON Whey protein then go out and buy it!!!

I was looking for some good quick gains since football season was coming around the corner. I wanted a good protein that gave me the best results and I found ON Whey Protein. The taste is amazing, tasting almost like a perfect milkshake and it helped me gain mass for football season (with working out about 4 times a week). I was not disappointed and the price tag wasn't even high for an A+ product like this. I suggest you do not take this product with anything other than milk. Also you should use a blender because the old spoon and cup does not work well at all with this product and will make you hate it. The protein chunks will make you want to not take an amazing product like this. Use about 8-12 oz. of cold water with it too. If you want to gain mass quickly like me, buy ON Whey Protein.

ON Whey Protein is by far the best/best tasting whey protein I've tried before. It has the most protein isolates than any other protein out there! It is great to take before and after work-outs and the chocolate flavor taste like a real chocolate milk shake! It will really help you gain tons of mass in a short time. I took other products like Body fortress, Syntha 6, etc, and none of them even stand up to this! If your serious about working out, and want a good tasting protein, you don't have to look any further, this is the answer.

Suggested Use:
10-12 oz. of water

1-2 scoops of protein

Mix in a blender for best results with no protein chunks, but cup and spoon also work well if you don't mind the protein at the bottom and chunks floating around. Take before and after workout for full protein.

I suggest you go out and buy this today!

ON's 100% whey gold standard has actually become the standard in whey protein. The amount protein per scoop is among the best. The taste and mixability is probably the best in its class. The price has stayed reasonable as well. A+

Upset stomach
As a hard training athlete, I look forward to training daily. After rigorous training sessions of lifting and conditioning, I refuel my body with key nutrients for growth. Gold Standard Whey has become a staple in my daily regimen, it has 24 grams of quality whey protein formulated to give me what I want and quickly. The formula isn't too bad either, it is a blend of whey protein isolates, and concentrates. In addition, Aminogen is added to help your body use the protein. The taste is excellent mixed with either in milk or water. It mixes instantly in a blender into a liquid. When used in a shaker it may be a little clumpy. The strength gains and recovery are maximal when i use this. Although i cannot say this gave me all my gains, it was certainly a factor. This is a safe product, I have never suffered any sickness, and very minimal side effects which include some stomach discomfort. The value is excellent, the 5lb offers a vast amount of servings and the price is comparable to other products in the market.

When used in conjuction with hard work, and diet. This supplement will help you achieve gains in lean muscle.

4/5

I bought the 5lb tub of ON whey. Out of curiosity, I decided to give the strawberry flavor a try. The price was decent ($40) and has lasted quite a while. It has 24g of Protein which is great and isn't filled with a lot of sugar or carbs like weight gainers.

It doesn't mix that well and has some clumps but if you shake it hard it'll dissolve. The strawberry taste is horrible and has a very chemical artificial taste to it. Even with fresh strawberries blended in, it doesn't taste that great. With water, it taste even awful. I suggest you mix the strawberry flavor with milk. It also has a bad after-taste.

I've progressively gained some weight while I've been working out for the past 4 months and this product helps quite a bit. Each scoop has over 4 grams of glutamine and glutamine precursors as well as 5 grams of BCAAs leucine, isoleucine, and valine which is great!

ON's 100% Whey Gold Standard claims to contain lactase and Aminogen digestive enzymes to further enhance absorption and make this product even more friendly to lactose intolerant individuals but I usually end up with horrible gas (it must be the milk)

I recommend this product, but don't buy the strawberry flavor...stick with chocolate/vanilla!

Ive used this whey protien for about a month and although its cheap its not worth the container it comes it. i had so much trouble mixing it that i just gave up. The top layer of the drink was a crust of protein and it made me cringe at every sip. The taste was terrible and the chunks of unmixed protien didnt help much. i wouldnt reccomend this to anyone and i will never use it again.

This was one of the first protein supplements i had ever taken. I found a good deal on the internet, and decided to order it. I got the Double rich chocolate to start of with, and took it once in the morning after my workout and once before bed. I immediately began piling on mass steadily. I also noticed that i recovered much quicker than usualy when taking this product. Later i learned this is most likely due to the high levels of BCAA's. The amount of protein per serving is a plus, and the name optimum nutrition is a brand that i feel like i can trust. The chocolate flavor tasted great, so i decided to try others. The fruit punch though was terrible, and i had a terrible time choking it down. I wouldn't reccommend this to anyone, but the taste of the chocolate was great. This has been one of the best whey products i have taken, and i continue to go back to it when i was steady gains in lean mass

ON Whey protien is one of the top protien powders out on the market today. I have used and am currently using the Double Rich Chocolate. If you like chocolate flavors shakes, then this product is the one for you to use. If you mix it in a bleder with water, it tastes ok to good. Its almost like a watered gdown chocolate shake. If you mix it witha blender with milk, then it tastes exactly like chocolate milk, or a chocolate shake depending on the thickness of the mixture. I bring up using a blender because I found that it is pretty clumpy if you use a spoon to mix. You can also add in your favorite fruit or some peanut butter for additional protien.

ON Whey protien is pretty cheap depending on where you go. I usually go to Bigcrumbs.com and look to see what type of rebate I can get when I purchase my supplements. Here is a link for Big Crumbs www.bigcrumbs.com/crumbs/landing.do?r=doquendo&s=6059. I never buy at a physical store unless I need it right away.

For those of us that are Lactose Intollerant at any level, I havent had any issues with taking this powder in milk or water. Not even a sign of gassiness or softer stools. Try it at first, and if your stomach doesnt feel right, go buy some lactaid chewable tablets before you down your protien shake.

I think ON Protien stacked with a creatine supplement will help with your of adding mass as well as just giving you some extra protien in your diet. I highly recommend ON Whey Protien for anyone who is looking for a great protien powder with excellent taste and a great value for the product.
