ADVANCED HYDROLYZED WHEY PROTEIN
FASTEST & PUREST
THE BIGGER PICTURE OF HYDROLYZED WHEY PROTEINS
PLATINUM HYDROWHEY® is the fastest, purest, most advanced whey protein we’ve ever developed. In a word: excellence. By hydrolyzing the protein in this premium formula we’ve created our fastest-acting whey protein yet. Hydrolyzing breaks larger proteins down into smaller pieces that are able to get into your system rapidly, enabling your muscles to start rebuilding quickly. For added effectiveness we’ve also enhanced it with digestive enzymes and micronized branched chain amino acids (BCAAs). PLATINUM HYDROWHEY® is ultra-pure too. That’s because it’s made with hydrolyzed whey protein isolates. So, there’s no excess fat, cholesterol, or lactose to slow down your progress either.- Purified - Excess moisture, fat, cholesterol, lactose, and other materials are removed so that ultra-pure protein remains.
- Hydrolyzed - Once the purest whey proteins have been isolated, they are broken down, or hydrolyzed, into smaller pieces for faster delivery.
- Enhanced - Finally, PLATINUM HYDROWHEY® is enhanced with digestive enzymes and micronized free-form BCAAs for added effectiveness.
- Made with ADVANCED HYDROLYZED WHEY Protein Isolates for FASTER DELIVERY.
- 30 grams of ULTRA-PURE PROTEIN.
- Nearly 9 grams of Leucine, Isoleucine, and Valine (BCAAs) per scoop.
- NO LACTOSE or CHOLESTEROL.
- Contains DIGESTIVE ENZYMES for enhanced utilization.
- INSTANTIZED to mix easily with a spoon.

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 Platinum Hydro Whey (3.5 lb) - Turbo Chocolate:
Superior post recovery protien. Pricey, yes, but my belief is that if you are going to spend hours in the gym tearing down your muscles it's worth it to buy something that helps them recover fast as possible. Good tasting, easily digestible, and effective.

Comments about Optimum Nutrition Platinum Hydro Whey (3.5 lb) - Turbo Chocolate:
I decided to switch to premium whey after being a long time user of AMP whey 60. I had no complaints with AMP just wanted to switch it up, and try a protein with less calories. I want to start off by saying how impressed I was with the shipping. I placed my order with standard shipping which was expected to be 6-12 days, it only took 3. This product may seem pricey to most of you, but when you look at the quality of the protein your getting, and 40 servings of it, the price is completely justifiable.

Comments about Optimum Nutrition Platinum Hydro Whey (3.5 lb) - Turbo Chocolate:
This has been my default protein for a long time. It has a great amino acid profile. Never given me digestion issues. The chocolate is the best tasting thing I eat some days (sad, I know). It's not the cheapest on the block, but I've tried even more expensive brands and found them less appealing. Get it if you can afford it.

Comments about Optimum Nutrition Platinum Hydro Whey (3.5 lb) - Turbo Chocolate:
This, in my opinion, is the best protein overall out there right now. Sure, there are some higher quality ones, but this does the job and is reasonably priced. The bottom line is that it works. Shortens recovery time and increases overall strength. Been using it for over 6 months now, and I have seen noticeable results. I won't buy any other protein, period.
