BEST TOLERABILITY THROUGH ENZYMES

In order to give its Gold Standard Whey Protein not only a high protein content and great taste but also really good tolerability, Optimum Nutrition goes one step further than many competitors and relies on additional ingredients. The added enzyme complex contains enzymes that help your body break down all three macronutrients better. So you don't limit yourself to adding lactase, but also use lipases that help break down free fatty acids. Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey also contains proteases and cellulase, enzymes that help break down protein and carbohydrates. The powder is also suitable for athletes with sensitive digestion.

If you look further at the ingredients and nutritional values ​​of Whey Gold Standard, it becomes clear why whey is so popular. In addition to the ingredients already mentioned such as whey protein isolate and concentrate, we also find soy lecithin. It also ensures improved solubility and ensures that it dissolves well even in a simple shaker. Depending on the flavor, there is also an aroma or deoiled cocoa powder in it as well as the digestive enzymes mentioned and two sweeteners. The two sweeteners are called sucralose and acesulfame-K. The harmless but controversial aspartame has been omitted here. The two sweeteners provide a pleasant and intense sweetness without a bitter aftertaste or a furry feeling on the tongue.

It's important to mention what we don't find in the can. The manufacturer does not use any additional carbohydrates such as sugar or maltodextrin as fillers. He also doesn't add BCAA to improve levels. And it doesn't do so-called "spiking" with amino acids. Every gram of protein in the shake comes exclusively from the raw material whey. This is the only way to be convinced at ON that you have a good product that is worthy of bearing the brand's stamp. You want to clearly differentiate yourself from manufacturers who try to optimize the nutritional values ​​by adding certain amino acids and thus deceive the buyer.

Flavor selection

It's not just the taste itself, but also the selection of flavors that makes Whey Gold Standard so popular worldwide. The selection not only includes Vanilla Ice Cream Double Rich Chocolate and Extreme Milk Chocolate, which are very popular flavors in Germany, Mint Chocolate and special flavors such as Birthday Cake also have their fans. What is always important is the almost perfect taste in both milk and water without a bitter aftertaste. In milk the whole thing becomes almost like a milkshake in consistency and is a real treat.

Quality has its price

If you want consistent quality of raw materials, if you want your whey to always taste the same good and always dissolve equally well, you won't have to pay a little more at some point.

Especially in the area of ​​sports nutrition, the price of wheys only knew one direction for a long time: downwards. Some providers dropped the price so much that as a customer it seemed like they were being left out for years.

But the truth is that every processing step that ensures quality also drives up the price. This includes retrospective analyzes as well as long-term planning, which sometimes makes it necessary to pay slightly higher prices for a raw material. Constantly monitoring the quality also changes the price of a protein powder. Here you should always decide carefully what is important to you. Especially with a food like whey protein, it's not just the price that should be the deciding factor.

We cannot give you a final answer as to whether the Whey Gold Standard is the best protein or whether it tastes the best. But the reviews from buyers and the feedback worldwide ensure that it is one of the absolute leaders in the world of sports. So if you need a protein to build muscle or support your diet, the Gold Standard is perfect for that. It impresses with consistent quality, good solubility and taste properties and contains a lot of protein, little fat and hardly any sugar. If you accept the slightly higher price, you will get a very good whey protein here.
