Ion-Exchange Whey Protein Isolates
Ultrafiltered Whey Protein Concentrate

To give you more of what you want (pure, unadulterated whey protein) with less of what you don't (fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, lactose, and other carbohydrates) with every serving. The container you are holding in your hand is no exception. In fact, ON 100% Whey Gold Standard™ is better than ever! Here's why:

100% Whey Gold Standard™ provides more Whey Protein Isolates (WPI) - the purest and most expensive source of whey protein available.
Higher Protein Percentage ON 100% Whey Gold Standard™ has always been a leader in this respect. Now with 24 grams of protein in just slightly over a one-ounce serving, it's nearly 79% protein by weight!
We've included HydroWhey® strategically hydrolyzed, low molecular weight whey peptides to make 100% Whey Gold Standard™ even faster acting!
100% Whey Gold Standard™ Contains Lactase and Aminogen® digestive enzymes to further enhance absorbtion and make this product even more friendly to lactose intolerant individuals.
100% Whey Gold Standard™ is Instantized to mix easily and completely with just a few twirls of a spoon.

Early diagnosis will aid in prevention or delay of complications. Abnormal thirst and recurring urination, tremendous weight loss or gain, fatigue, tingling or numbness in the hands or feet  and blurred vision may be signs of diabetes. Whey protein powder can be of great benefit  to diabetic patients because whey has the greatest organic value of any known protein. It is therefore a great source of protein for diabetics whose intake may be inconsistent and/or lacking due to improper diets. Whey also helps the body to do a better job of  managing blood glucose levels. It is suggested that the higher protein levels found in whey stimulates  the  body’s ability to produce insulin from the pancreas. According to diabetes.org.uk though, further studies may be required to confirm the insulin stimulating effect. Whey also slows the absorption of carbohydrates, such as glucose, into the bloodstream.

NOTE: If you are to begin taking whey protein,  it is advisable to monitor your blood glucose levels carefully to insure safe levels. If you are diabetic and take regular medication, consult a medical doctor before you begin taking whey protein powder.

By far the best protein I have ever used..., July 15, 2007

This review is from: Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Standard, Vanilla Ice Cream, 5 Pound (Health and Beauty)
I've been powerlifting for over 14 years & have literally tried it all. (well... most that is) Remember when Designer Protein was "In"? Anyway, I purchased this protein along with a handful of others @ a GNC (Yes, GNC... Retail price w/ no Gold Card) without first checking out the reviews. Basically a blind study using myself as the test subject. Out of all the proteins I tested, only ONE stood out from the rest. Being that I wasn't influenced in any way by a salesman, reviews, etc... my observations were not the result of a placebo effect. With ON, I not only maintained my weight but gained weight as well w/ consistent workouts. It did an excellent job of curbing my appetite as well as this has been my breakfast, every morning for close to a year. I recently decided to check out the reviews both online & on Amazon & low & behold, a 5 star average all the way. I'm not the least bit surprised. This is by far the best protein I have ever used.


Best Whey Money Can Buy, November 29, 2004
By Ravi S. Madapati (California, US)
Excellent stuff. I am using On's 100% whey since about a year now and I highly recommend this product. Esp, the double rich chololate tastes like heaven, easily mixes with milk/water and leaves no stomach bloating etc. This product on amazon is a bargain and you should not let go. Get the 10 pound box and save $30. This is great stuff, if you want to grow, get this ASAP.


Great taste, easy to mix, February 20, 2007
By yeah Amazon Verified Purchase
Actually tastes like chocolate. Even when using water to mix with. I use two scoops in my coffee in the morning and it's awesome, almost mocha like. Super easy to mix, doesnt need a blender. I put it in a nalgene with water and just shake it and it mixes fine with no clumps. Gives me heartburn though, but then again everything else does too so I cant really blame the powder.


Great for those with lactose intolerance, December 1, 2008
By Jan Remetir (Los Angeles, CA USA)
This review is from: Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Standard, Chocolate Mint, 2.07 Pound (Health and Beauty)
I have lactose intolerance and find myself getting uncomfortable with alot of Whey protein powders I've tried before. Not with this one.
It also easily dissolves in cold water, which I like. I don't even use a mixer, most of the time I bring a coffee sipper and swish it around there. I love the taste of chocolate mint with cold water, it's very refreshing after a workout.

As far as protein goes this one in m opinion is the best. No bloated feeling after no having to just swallow it without enjoying it. I mix 1 scoop with no fat milk and a bit of honey. It is great.
