PLATINUM HYDROWHEY® is the fastest, purest, most advanced wheyprotein we’ve ever developed. In a word: excellence. By hydrolyzing theprotein in this premium formula we’ve created our fastest-acting wheyprotein yet.

For added effectiveness we’ve also enhanced itwith digestive enzymes and micronized branched chain amino acids(BCAAs). PLATINUM HYDROWHEY® is ultra-pure too. That’s because it’smade 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, andother materials are removedso that ultra-pure proteinremains.- Hydrolyzed
Once the purest whey proteinshave been isolated, they arebroken down, or hydrolyzed,into smaller pieces for fasterdelivery.- Enhanced

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.

[1 star] In one trial, supplementing with whey protein improved blood measures of liver dysfunction in people with hepatitis B.HIV and AIDS SupportRefer to label instructions
[1 star] Whey protein is rich in the amino acid cysteine, which the body uses to make glutathione, an important antioxidant. Supplementing with it may improve immune function.Immune FunctionRefer to label instructions
[1 star] Whey protein appears to improve some aspects of immune function. One trial showed that whey protein increased blood glutathione levels in a group of HIV-infected people.ObesityRefer to label instructions
[1 star] Whey protein may aid weight loss due to its appetite-suppressing effect.OsteoporosisRefer to label instructions
[1 star] Some whey proteins may reduce bone loss. Milk basic protein (MBP) is a mixture of some of the proteins found in whey protein and has been shown to promote bone densityWhey protein is a mixture of some of the proteins naturally found in milk. The major proteins found in whey protein include beta-lactoglobulin and alpha-lactalbumin. Whey protein has one of the highest protein digestibility-corrected amino acid scores (PDCAAS; a measure of protein bioavailability) and is more rapidly digested than other proteins, such as casein (another milk protein). 1

Comments about Optimum Nutrition Platinum Hydro Whey (3.5 lb) - Supercharged Strawberry:
Easily the best tasting protein powder you can buy. The chocolate may technically taste the best, but the strawberry flavor is also fantastic and is the better choice for blending smoothies (ie mix w/ frozen fruit and blend for a easy and healthy breakfast).
This protein powder blends so easily. Just about everyone uses those "blender bottles" with that little "blender orb" to mix it. That certainly works, but you could just about stir it with a fork in 8 oz of milk or water and it'll blend pretty effectively too.
Also, this was one of the safest protein powders Consumer Reports tested back in July 2010 (the one that discussed contaminants in protein powders; definitely work checking out if you're a frequent user of these powders).
All in all, this is a great powder. I really dig the strawberry b/c it's so versatile in what you can blend it with. I think a lot of people must agree with me, b/c Strawberry is nearly always on backorder. The Chocolate and Vanilla are good too.Displaying reviews 1-3
