This review is from: Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Standard Natural Whey, Natural Chocolate, 5 Pound (Health and Beauty)

There is only one other whey protein that I have taken and noticed an actual increase in my performance in the gym, and that's Nitrotech...which by the way is pretty darn expensive. The price is right with optimum and the taste is spot on! My lifts actually have improved while taking this stuff, with no other supplements except some additional glutamine, 500 Grams (1.1 Lbs) L Glutamine Bulk Powder.

Not all whey protein is created equal, this is simply one of the best. One thing to keep in mind is the glutamine per serving is not up to par with the protein serving. Need at least 5 grams, and more definitely doesn't hurt. I really am surprised with the improvement with my lifting, usually need creatine to get push this much weight.

I try others, but keep coming back to this one. No chemicals, good taste (mild), easily digested, great results.

This review is from: Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Standard Natural Whey, Vanilla, 5 Pound (Health and Beauty)

I have worked in a nutrition store and have tried dozens if not hundreds of different proteins. This one has been the best and doesn't have any of the artificial sweetners and other ingredients which can cause digestion problems. It mixes easily and has a very versatile and enjoyable taste. It is probably best as a postworkout or early morning protein source due to its rapid digestion. I will often take along with some fish oils or flax oil to lower the glycemic index and resulting insulin response. Amazon, especially with free shipping and 15% subscription discount, has by far the best price!
