24g Protein - 5.5g BCAAs - 4g Glutamine & Precursors
Whey Protein Isolates
THE BIGGER PICTURE OF WHEY - 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.
BEYOND THE BASICS- Exclusive blend of Microfiltered and Ion-Exchange Whey Protein Isolates, Ultrafiltered Whey Protein Concentrate, and HYDROWHEY® Hydrolyzed Whey Peptides.
- HIGHER PROTEIN PERCENTAGE (24 grams of protein, 75% protein by weight).
- Includes HYDROWHEY®, strategically hydrolyzed, low molecular weight whey peptides to make protein faster acting.
- Contains LACTASE and AMINOGEN® digestive enzymes to enhance utilization.
- WHEY PROTEIN MICROFRACTIONS including Alpha-lactalbumin, Glycomacropeptides, Beta-lactoglobulin, Immunoglobulin G (lgG), Lactoferrin, Lactoperoxidase, and various growth factors.
- Over 4 grams of GLUTAMINE & glutamine precursors.
- More than 5 grams of BCAAs (Leucine, Isoleucine, and Valine) in each scoop.

- Supplement Facts
-
SPOON STIRRED: 100% Whey Gold StandardTM is INSTANTIZED. That means if you forgot your shaker cup or dont have time to get out the blender, you can just add one rounded scoop of 100% Whey Gold StandardTM to a glass filled with 6-8 oz of water, nonfat milk or your favorite beverage. Then mix it up with a spoon. Stir for about 20 seconds or until powder is completely dissolved.
SHAKER: Bringing a shaker cup with you to the gym is the best way to get a powerful dose of protein immediately after your workout. Just add one rounded scoop of 100% Whey Gold StandardTM to your shaker cup and then pour in 6-8 ounces of your preferred beverage. Cover and shake for 25-30 seconds. Dont have a shaker cup? Visit optimumnutrition.com and order a custom ON shaker, or visit your local health food store or gym. TIP: Mixing one scoop with 6-8 fl. oz of nonfat milk instead of water will give you a thicker, creamier shake.
BLENDER: Add one rounded scoop of 100% Whey Gold StandardTM to a blender filled with 6-8 fl. oz of water, nonfat milk, or your favorite beverage. Blend for 20-30 seconds. Then add 1 or 2 ice cubes and blend for an additional 30 seconds. SHAKE UP YOUR SHAKE: By adding a few high-energy ingredients to your shake you can blend up a delicious meal: try adding fresh or frozen fruits (strawberries, bananas, etc.), peanut butter, flaxseed oil, unflavored yogurt, coconut, slivered almonds, or other ingredients. STACK YOUR SHAKE: By adding other supplements including creatine, glutamine, taurine (e.g. CGT10), and/or BCAA powders you can make 100% Whey Gold StandardTM an even more powerful post-workout recovery product.
SUGGESTED USE: Consume approximately 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight through a combination of high protein foods and protein supplements. For the best results, consume your daily protein allotment over several small meals spread evenly throughout the day.
Other Ingredients: Protein Blend (Whey Protein Isolate, Whey Protein Concentrate, Whey Peptides), Acesulfame Potassium, Artificial Flavor, Lecithin, Aminogen Storage Instructions: Store in a cool dry place.

Whey Protein
Whey Protein- Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
- Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
- For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.

Comments about Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Standard™ French Vanilla Creme:
I use this for my daily morning shake. I tries a variety of others and in terms of value, taste, and mix-ability, this is one of the whey proteins I use regularly. I think this has a better nutrition profile than MyoFusion, but MyoFusion is priced a bit lower (comparing both on sale, not necessarily at GNC), so I'm ambivalent between the two. Those two and ProNos are pretty equal in terms of mixability, consistency, and taste. On a sidenote, I can't stand when GNC reps say they 100% whey is the same, because it's not...the GNC whey proteins mix a bit too well and add no thickness, so I guess it's my personal preference but I hate how watery GNC whey proteins are. This Optimum Gold on the other hand is just right.

Comments about Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Standard™ French Vanilla Creme:
This company makes two vanilla flavors, this is the better one. The vanilla ice cream is very weak, so often times its like having unflavored powder. Same nutritional profile as most of the other Gold Standard powders and good whey blend over all.

Comments about Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Standard™ French Vanilla Creme:
I have been taking protien for quite some time now, and i just started to use Gold Standard whey protein about a month ago. i must say that of all the products i have used, this is the best when it comes to building muscle. in the past five weeks i havegained about seven pounds of muscle and i feel better than ever. there is really no downside to this product except for the price. its not too expensive, but it will make you [$] poorer. but the five pound bucket will last a long time! so all in all, it isa tramendous value.
