Tried ON 100% whey and never looked back, mixes great tasted fine and no digestive problems,if someones trying protien powder for the first time looking on this site for advice and doesn't know what to pick i recomend this.

This product is CRITICALLY important to my health. I don't eat meat (and cooking eggs can be time consuming) and all other protein supplements give me bloating/gas so horrible that it smells like a buzzard's carcass is decaying inside me. I'm not sure I could live without the Gold Standard. Purchased it at []. Worth every penny.

Like many of you I have tried a number of protein powders out there and I have to say that Optimum 100% Whey is by far the best. This product is NOT just marketing hype - with consistent training and diet reults are Guranteed - I have gained 5 kg (+- 10lbs) in the last few months following this regimen. Kareem from Cairo: try 1 scoop with water/sports drink about 45 min before you train and another 2 scoops directly after training. Remember to keep increasing poundages on your lifts as well and you WILL see a difference. I've been so impresssed by the Optimum brand that I'm going to try their "Pro Complex Gainer" next. Being a hardgainer i will throw some extra 100% whey in there to increase protein percentage. All in all great brand, great product. Thanks to all you reviewers out there as well.

this product is great one by all ways. it gives pure 24 gm of proteins by one scoop , but i think it needs a hard training with it....i only would like to ask a question , how about the quantity that should be taken ?? and after or before the workout ?? thx !!!

This is the best tasting, digest well. It also has low calorie and carb so its very good for muscle without the bloating and excessive carbs. If you need those carbs of course use 2% instead of skim and its just as good

I have tried have been on and off this product, i like to switch up every once and awhile, but this protein is great. if your looking to slim down, just use water and the taste is still awsome!! or if you need those extra carbs and fats then skim or 1% milk does the trick. and above all this product tastes great, mixes well, and is also one of the cheaper proteins on the market for pricing.

I have found this to be a really good protein shake. From my experience I would suggest Muscle Milk from Sept - March & going with this one for the summer months when trying to stay trim & lean. I've seen results without the bloating.

I have used over 15 different proteins; this is by far the best i've used yet. It mixes well... its palatable and doesnt give me any digestive problems. I have 4 shakes a day, of about 2 scoops, and it goes down a treat. I recommended it to two mates and they rate it as highly as i do too.

I have tried and been using this protein for well over a year now. I amusing the tropical punch flavour as well as Rocky Road. Both taste great and work well in different mixes. I use the Tropical for blender mixes with fruit, and the Rock Road for strait protein/water mixes. The Roacky Road seems to mix a little bit easier with a spoon; whereas the Punch tends the leave lumps if your not using a shaker cup. I dont get bloated on either of these and dont get the sudden explosive bowel gas like some others give you. The BCAA's and Glutamine count in this protein is top notch. There are also a handfull of other nutrients and minerals loaded into this powder. I highly recommend these two flavours. I cant speak for the others as I havent tried them yet, but if they are anything like these two... I give two thumbs up.

Great product. Mixes effortlessly, even with milk. Taste is good (although the cookies flavour tastes more like coffee flavour). Good value too.

I can honestly say that I have tried at least 20 different types of protein products and this is the only one that I stick with. Taste is great, mixes easily with no chunks left over. Highly recommended.

My doctor suggested to abandon milk since it makes my poo-poo thick (He told me that lots of people have this problem), and to try supplements with water, and my god this "100 % whey gold standard- banana strawberry" tastes AWESOME with water. like a fruit punch. its "protein isolate" which is (the purest and most easily digestible form) better than Whey protein powder. Really really cheap, 16$+3$ship for 2 Lbs.. (I ordered it from []).(Just want to share and not to advertise.)

Great balance, lactoferins are critical when using this form of protein. Excellent BCAAs and other extra's. Easy to digest. I have gone has high as 48g per serving with no digestive discomfort. Taste is fine, although I come from the age of Shaklee so anything that is not cement tastes good to me. I like Vanilla because it mixes well with Gatorade post workout.

I've used this product for a couple of years now and It's always been effective. It's a solid product that delivers a good amount of protein with little fat, carbs, or sugars. It doesn't have a great taste but it won't make you vomit. I've never had any trouble with cramps or gas. An excellent everyday product.

I've tried Syntha 6 (best taste, clumps, & got nasty gas), M3 (taste below average), Muscle Milk (got fat quick, clumps, thick, fake nutritional facts, not 4g of sugar unless they used Splenda obviously not), Probolic-SR (YUCK!), and etc... Optimum is the best! why? it dissolves quickly and is adsorbed by the liquids. It does the same for your body when you drink it. No gas, upset stomach, or problems. Price is right, taste above average, easy mix, and works. A+ in my books.

Very effective whey protein product Cost/serving ratio is phenomenal; it's very inexpensive. Product claims to have the most whey isolates, hydrolyzed for better abosorption. However the whey is micro-filtered rather than cross-filtered which may disinterest more finicky supplementers. Added BCAAs and EAAs are a plus. Very easy to mix. Have been using this product since 2007..when Optimum Nutrition changed the appearance of this product. have noticed a significant flavor change...French Vanilla was the best flavor no questiton Vanilla Ice Cream tastes like ass sprinkled with Sweet and Low
