Predator Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Review

What is Gold Standard 100%?

Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey Protein rightly deserves its crown as the king of protein powders. It shines in taste, quality, mixability and protein content. Gold Standard Whey is the ultimate supplement to top up your protein intake for lean gains in muscle, satiety and recovery from training.

What is Gold Standard Whey good for?

Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey is good for both muscle building and fat loss diets, being high in protein and low in fats/carbs. For a premium quality, highly anabolic, great tasting whey protein that is easily digested you need to look no further than Gold Standard 100% Whey. 

How to use ON Gold Standard Whey Protein

 

When to use Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey

The best time to take Gold Standard 100% Whey protein is post-workout when precious essential amino acids are needed to repair and rebuild muscle that has been broken down during a training session. Despite this, GSW makes a great convenient protein source at any time of day to ensure you meet your macro targets.

Gold Standard 100% Whey Review

Optimum Nutrition ensures that at all times the protein percentage is around 80% protein and that it includes a high degree of superior quality whey isolate and whey hydrolysates. These have a higher biological value than bog-standard whey protein concentrate meaning they have greater anabolic properties than regular whey proteins. Combine this with the fact that Gold Standard Whey is lower in fats and sugars than most other brands' whey proteins and you can appreciate why this protein has such a huge fan base.

Bodybuilders sometimes joke about how certain proteins make them pass wind but accept this as the price to be paid for a high protein diet. However, when you have flatulence or bloating from protein powder it is a sure sign that you are not digesting the proteins properly so that irrespective of how many grams of protein it lists on the label, your muscles will not be receiving the full benefits. Wasting money on a protein that you convert to gas rather than muscle makes no sense at all.

Gold Standard Whey's use of higher whey proteins makes it lower in fats, sugars and lactose. Going further, Optimum Nutrition have incorporated a digestive enzyme complex that improves digestion with different enzymes improving the body's ability to digest carbohydrates, fats, protein and lactose. Compared to cheap whey this means more of your protein is going to building muscle when using Gold Standard Whey.

Gold Standard Whey is available in 450g, 907g, 2.27kg and 4.54kg sizes, and comes with a huge range of flavour options like their caramel frappe, chocolate peanut butter and double chocolate, to name just a few of our favourites. As a high-quality whey protein, Gold Standard Whey has a silky texture and mixes very easily with water and whenever we have taste tested their flavours they invariably get great reviews from people who appreciate the fact that it is neither overly sweet nor does it have an artificial taste synonymous with poor quality proteins.

Best about

Best about in terms of taste and product

Best Whey available

The best whey protein on the market. More expensive than some but tastes great, the Chocolate Mint flavour especially, mixes well and gets results

Tastes good

Chocolate flavour tastes good. MIxes well and no clumps even with 3 scoops in 400ml milk. Not the cheapest but it's a nice treat when on offer.

Simply the best

This stuff tastes amazing, mixes well with water or milk! Can’t beat this product

Great Protein!

had a few tubs of this now and is really good. easy to mix and nice tasting - can't go wrong

White chocolate raspberry

I am slowly making my way through all the protein flavours for this brand. I do tend to think simpler flavours are better but this was a pleasant break... I have only given it 4 stars as the raspberry bits are a little weird to begin with when drinking them but it is an interesting taste to have for a change. I think for me it could become a little sickly if having more than a shake a day but definitely worth giving it a go!

The best protein

I bought this protein many times. For me a very good protein with great taste. Recommended

BEST WHEY

I always use this whey, its good, reliable, very tasty, and quick shipping from Predator Nutrition. 10/10 from me, i get a tub every month

Great Protein

Easily my main go-to protein for great taste and protein content, good price helps, all in all easily the best protein that I use.

Amazing

The best Whey Protein that you can buy.

My go-to whey of choice

Ive been using this whey for years, occasionally trying other wheys but this has come out on top with taste, macro profile as well as mixability. I have a tub a month and ON whey is the whey to go

Among the best whey protein available

I've been using ON gold standard whey since forever except few breaks here and there but always came back to it for taste and quality. It tastes great in most options and never had any problem digesting it.

Great protein

Excellent protein, mixes brilliant no lumps and very smooth nice tasting too. Overall I'd say it's the best protein I've tried.

Brilliant stuff

Great tasting low in calories whey protein!

Great alrounder

This is the first protein powder I've bought and simply because of this, I will never buy another brand again. The flavours are strong, fairly high protein content, mixes well and has minimal of the bad stuff (sugar, fat etc); all for a good price.

The King of Whey Protein

The most recognised protein in the world and there's a good reason. Easy to mix, great profile, great profile of taste varieties - a classic.

Best money can buy

Gold Standard Whey is the obvious choice for whey protein. Mixes well and the flavours are great!

Best Protein Shake

One of the best protein shakes I've ever had. Great flavour too!

5*

Only protein I've ever bought, not planning on switching anytime soon. Made my way through almost every flavour and cant complain about any! Amazing quality and amazing taste!

Great flavours

Best choc mint that I've had, doesn't have that chemical mint taste nor that chalky chocolate taste you can get with cheaper brands, just tastes like a milk shake.

Best yet

Best protein I've tried so far, easy to mix, tastes great, does what it says on the tin.

MINT chocolate.

Awesome! This stuff is well known and for good reason.

ON Gold

This is the protein I use the most, mixes well and tastes great. Prefer the double chocolate and extreme milk chocolate, just had a chocolate mint and nowhere near as nice in my opinion.

Optimum Nutrition: Gold Standard 100% Whey

Really good product, it has been the base of my supplementation for more than five years now, every morning when I wake up and after every workout I use the product. it's fundamental in a performance diet, and really good quality also.

Double rich chocolate

Double rich chocolate!! Tastes so good, mixes really well with porridge or pancakes. Be careful as having the same flavour day in day out can get pretty boring.

Top Quality

Great quality protein and tastes amazing!!

Tasty

A scoop of oat meal is fantastic, just wish it was more of a isolate.

Repeat customer

I’ve been using this stuff for years now, choc mint is as nice as a shake can get in my opinion and it doesn’t taste too sweet. Mixes well with milk or water, never had lumps or unmixed powder after shaking with this stuff.

Great

Double rich chocolate tast is good but milk chocolate is something else

Great protein

Used gold standard a few times now and I've never been disappointed. A tonne of protein per scoop. Optimum Nutrition has always been consistent with their products & continue to deliver, highly recommend.

Best tasting powder out there

The title says it all... Up until now, I've been a vanilla kinda guy, but ON's chocolate flavour is heavenly nectar. It mixes very well and it has BCAAs included. I mean, what's not to love?

Double Rich Chocolate

Tastes delicious and mixes perfectly.

Smashing

This proves that something can be good for you and taste like it's from heaven. Great quality protein shake and a great taste. Could we ask for any more? I think not!

No. 1

Best ever protein I've ever had. Takes my no.1 spot.

Exceptional

I don't normally like chocolate shakes, BUT! This is an exception to that rule. Great tasting and good quality. I am old enough to remember when all protein shakes tasted like s***. Boy, how times have changed. There are some smashing flavours about nowadays and this is one of them.

Vanilla Ice Cream

It’s hard to complain about Optimum Nutrition’s Gold Standard 100% Whey. The price is reasonable, there are a variety of flavors and sizes, and you can find this product almost anywhere. It also mixes well with other ingredients and works well in baking. My only complaint is that the consistency is a bit too thin for my preference – even when mixed with almond or low-fat milk. It’s not my favourite protein powder, that would be Trutein, but it’s among the better powders that I have sampled.

Rocky Road is Amazing

This is the Best protein for the price. It tastes great and mixes super fast and easy. My favourite is Rocky Road.

Worthy of the price

This is a little more expensive as protein powders go - But! It is worthy of the price - tastes great and is good quality. All good. Makes protein shakes something to look forward to rather than something to hold your nose, close your eyes and chug down. AH! The good old days.

Double Whammy

Often we accept that good protein will taste a bit iffy. And in the past, this has been the case. Not now! This is quality and it tastes good.

Not the best selling protein for nothing

Everybody knows that gold standard whey is the best selling protein as you always get results with it. Highly recommended!

Caramel Toffee Fudge

The best protein out there. Not as tasty as the choc peanut butter, but still very good.

Great Protein Powder

This protein tastes great and mixes well too. It's perfect after a workout or for a high protein snack. I have been using this product for over 3 years.

Very good

It's easy to mix and tastes good.

Favorite protein

This is my favourite protein regarding taste, and effectiveness.

great

best protein available

great!

I tried this for a while, it is my favorite protein which is rich in nutrients!

High quality

Good taste High quality product

Big fan

All tasty flavours and not loaded with loads of chemicals and rubbish. Quality serving size and low calories too and mixes great too!

Best protein out there

no gas, no extra carbs or sugars, does the job!

Love it

Great protein product. I ordered this on my last order. Will order again. Great taste, easy to digest. Would highly recommend this protein.

High quality

Mixes really well and you know you can trust it being from Optimum. The birthday cake flavour is surprisingly not sickly at all and went down easily. Only downside is the cost which I feel is too high.

The best

The best I have tried by far

The market standard

No more to say on ON gold standard whey, it is the market standard!

Good deal

Great taste easy to mix and lots of flavors

The best protein out there!

Hands down the no.1 protein out there for years! Tastes great and mixes so well, cant go wrong with any of the flavours!

vanilla ice cream gold standard whey

definitely the best flavour that I have tried so far. mixes well into protein pancakes and isnt too thick

Best on the market

Go to protein, best quality, great taste, easy to mix.

Love it!

Mixes well! Tastes great! Definitely need to buy again

Awsome

Tastes amazing

High class protein

You get what you pay for. This is the real stuff.

Gold Standard Whey French Vanilla

The best protein i've personally had, the flavour is highly enjoyable and very easy to drink even with just water. Mixes really well with either water or milk, I have even put a tea spoon in my black coffee which was well worth a go

Double Rich Chocolate

A great protein with good quality materials. However, I ordered it thinking it would be delicious just like the reviews said but I didn't like the flavour at all and didn't think it was as good as other brands for flavour. It tasted too ashey and not as chocolate-y as the name Double Rich Chocolate would suggest. That could just be my individual opinion, or a bad batch, but that's the experience I had.

Consistently Good!

I have been using Gold Standard Whey for years on and off, while trying other brands like reflex, phd or myprotein. I keep coming back to this for nutritional value, taste and mixability. You hardly even notice its a protein shake! Would and have recommended over and over again!

Staple protein

Bought the big bag as used daily. Nice, good quality and easy to drink protein. Good value for money too. Big bag will probebly last me 6 months. Used for years and always will.

Top quality

I use this whey protein during my cut and it works fantastically, it packs a lot of protein into each scoop as well as having very low fat and carb contents. I would definitely reccomend this to anyone who is unsure and even seasoned lifters!

Milk Chocolate

I tried the milk chocolate flavour and it is incredible, especially with semi-skimmed milk. Couldn't fault the product

My favourite protein powder

Favourite so far is Extreme Milk Chocolate, then Double Rich Chocolate. Costs more than most other whey but mixes well, tastes good and great profile. Best to stock up on a few when on offer.

Great

Great product, I find this to work better than most. Pricey but nutritional value is greater

Extreme Milk Chocolate all the way!

The flavour Extreme Milk Chocolate is THE best flavour, if you prefer your protein powder with a natural taste of chocolate milk!

Rich and delicious

Ive been working out for almost 11 years, and drinking protein Shakes just as long, tried almost everything out there. And over the year the shakes have just gotten better, but this ( cookies and cream ) takes the absolute first place ! For me atleast, its Rich, round and creamy, and not artificially sweet ! Next up is the other flavors And im gonna try and make this in to icecream ! Gonna be epic

Double rich chocolate

Maybe the quality is good, most isolates and then concentrate, but I have tried many other quality brands that tastes a lot better.

Easy mix and great taste

Having tried many proteins on the market this one gives me no bloating and nasty effects of cheaper protein. Mixes well and tastes great. for the price, you cant complain!!

best protein

I can't stop using this product, such a great taste and what a great result

Great

Wouldn't use any other protein, best on the market.

Can't Fault

ON always come up trumps on the product front - high quality and great tasting!

Amazing protein, mediocre flavour

Bought 77 servings worth of Strawberry a few months back, mixes very well along with Optimum's creatine, but after a few weeks of Strawberry I am completely sick of the flavour. Will buy again but will definitely go for a more plain flavour such as vanilla, or buy less servings so I can change flavour more often.

Cant go wrong with this one

Tried multiple flavor, always tasted good and mixed well. cant go wrong with this one

Great

Love this protein powder.

excellent

have been using this protein powder for a long time and have to say its one of the most effective powders on the market.

The gold standard

Great quality protein. Tastes great and mixes well. Tried many proteins in my time but always come back to this if I have the money.

Gold standard

The best whey protein by far it's called gold standard for a reason tastes great mixes well and great ingredients

Gold standard

Best protein shake by a mile easy to mix great taste and packed with great ingredients

Choc peanut butter ON whey

Hands down the best shake overall in my opinion, tastes great, mixes well and provides 'optimum' recovery... excuse the pun ;)

Best Whey Protein You Can Buy

It's in the title. Best tasting, mix-ability and bang for your buck. Can't rate this high enough

Best Overal

Best overal for protein. Taste acceptable. Good effect, especially for morning workout.

One of, if not THE best whey proteins on the market

In terms of taste, mix ability and convenience this is a great whey protein. perfect for pre or post workout, or even in the morning. Great to stock up now as its currently on offer and a competitive price with other lower quality proteins.

Super Impressed

Not only the lowest price for the GSW on the web, but also free delivery that arrived within 48 hours. Very happy customer and will buy from this website again.

GREAT PRODUCT - Chocolate

Tastes great, easy to mix, digests very easily and contains a good amount of protein. Would not buy another brand now I've had this.

Best protein

This is by far the best protein, Optimum Nutrition always has the best products and also they have the best flavours. With such a huge selection, you can't ask for anything better.

Still The Best

I've used this protein for years and tried many different ones too. This is still the best for flavour, mixing and recovery. I can honestly say when I have experimented with different proteins, I always seem to recover faster with this one!

ON 100%

GREAT VALUE. GREAT TASTE. GREAT RESULTS.

Best protein

after using this protein I can really see the difference

Gold Standard

Gold standard whey is by far my winning protein powder. I look forward to my protein shakes, and enjoy them thoroughly too. The flavour, and thickness is spot on, absolutely no complaints at all!

definitely buy again

Great results

Highly Recommended

ON 100% Gold Standard is the only whey I use... I have severe digestive problems, and this is the only whey that works for me. Haven't tried the casein yet, but I trust this brand and have heard nothing but good reviews. Grateful for this offer, because at this value it gave me a chance to finally try it. Delivery was great too! Many thanks, Predator Nutrition

I can't live without it!

Tried a few proteins over the years and this one is the best by miles! Some people say this too easily but it does actually taste nice (Vanilla Ice Cream).

Great Value

Best value for one of the best products available (considering what some company's outrageously charge). Will only be buying from here from now on.

Great value all round !!

I have purchased my first tub of this protein and boy am I happy I've opted for this (My goals: gain lean quality size). Like with others I wasn't sure but after speaking to the staff and predator nutrition I decided to choose this. The shake itself is so easy to mix and does not leave you feeling bloated as some protein shakes might, I have gone for the mocca-chinno flavour and I'll tell you its far far off from tasting like a starbucks!! Just had it for 2 weeks and the recovery time is really will update more with other results in a few weeks but my advice is don't beat around the bush. IF YOU WANT QUALITY THEN YOU WILL PAY FOR QUALITY WITH THIS. Thanks predator nutrition !!!

Good product

Very good product and tastes amazing

Great whey protein

ON Gold Standard 100% Whey is by far my favourite whey protein. I've tried a lot of protein powders, but gold standard is the best one. My fav flavours are caramel and cookies & cream

Great Whey

Excellent whey at a reasonable price, tastes good and isn't too heavy!

Great tasting breakfast

I love this product. I have the chocolate mint flavour in my car and have it for breakfast everyday. Best tasting protein I have ever used.

Amazing all around!

I've been going to gym to bulk up a lil bit and I've had a couple of different shakes but so far this has had the best effect on me. I've noticed I have built in size a bit and my recovery time is a lot better compare to the other shakes I've had. I brought this protein shake a few weeks ago and I cannot find a single fault with it yet. The taste is second to none. The shake taste alright with water but even better with milk. Tastes just like a milk shake. I do find that after you have done shaking it you have to leave for a 1 minute or 2 so that the bubbles get out Which is no big deal otherwise it seems to taste a lil bit chemically. As for mixability it is awesome. I can assure you that if you put the powder in first and after add the milk or water you will not hav but that's no big deal e powder stuck and the bottom of your shaker like some of the previous protein shakes I have had. This is especially handy for when you want to have a shake straight after the gym or to take to work etc. All in all this is a great protein shake and if you are hesitating whether this product is for you don't worry. I was in your shoes debating whether it was as good as people say it is and it exceeded my expectations.

amazing

Best protein around!!

Great Deal with samples

Cant beat this value. Gold standard is the best protein on the market and the extra items here put this over the top. Thumbs Up!

100% whey protein

Best whey protein on the market

The Best..

There isn't better. Simples. (French Vanilla all the way - tip... Mix it with milk, I'd drink it all day)

Quality

The Extreme Milk Chocolate flavour tastes a bit sweet, however the double chocolate is amazing with both water and milk (I use 200ml of water per scoop) . I play rugby and lift weights 3 times per week. The difference in results is noticeable, however what is most impressive is how it helps recovery time. Will be buying again, but I will change the flavours around to stop me getting bored

Bad choices

Do not buy the cookies and cream flavour. Tastes like butterscotch and incredibly sickly. I can't drink this during or post workout. Good protein, great for those that are lactose intolerant. Just a terrible flavour.

Gold Standard by name, Gold Standard by nature

Used a load of proteins in the past (good and bad) but this is exceptional. You don't win Protein of the year so many times by accident. Shame the price has gone up, but great deal with amino energy. So many flavours, and most are very good.

Best out there

Gold standard whey is the best protein in the world. Best taste and protein content and made by Optimum Nutrition so you know it will be spot on. I prefer the strawberry flavour myself but really they are all nice. The deal with the Amino energy is a great bonus too.

perfect

best whey ever tried high protein bang for buck worth it

Good value for money

Good product with great taste, also cheaper than some of the rivals for example USN! Would recommend

best whey

best whey going would recommend to anyone

very good product.

it's a great product but i'm not a big fan of the flavors (tried cookies&cream and mochachino).nmixes well and good results

Great tasting product

I really like the caramel toffee flavour but to be fair all the flavours by Optimum are good. Mixes easily and works a treat:)

Best whey around

You cannot beat Gold Standard Whey, it is the best protein and tastes great and I find I gain better while using this compared to cheaper wheys. Like everything you get what you pay for.

Gold standard whey rocks

This is the only whey protein which I can tolerate easily as most cheap wheys out there cause me stomach issues. The flavours are great and predator has a ton of great deals on gold standard whey (a free gift pack right now is well worth a purchase).

Gold Standard Whey IS The Gold Standard!

Gold standard whey is the one which all other whey proteins are measured against. Simply the best protein and one which there is a great offer on now!

Great offer

I normally buy Gold Standard Whey anyway but since it went on offer at the store with Amino Energy, it is a great deal. Since the VAT protein prices have shot up so it is great that Optimum and Predator have worked this deal. The Amino energy itself is a great preworkout and I think I may pick it up in future anyway (I normally use Craze but it makes for a nice change up).

GO FOR IT, IT IS AWESOME

This is totally worth it one of the best tasting protein shakes, I've tried loads of flavours I got the Rocky Road this time mixes easily too and the price is good value for money DON'T THINK TWICE.

Good protein and taste

I have only ever used gold standard and it's the only protein I can use which doesn't make me bloated or make my skin itch. I think/thought I might be intolerant to dairy but gold standard whey is fine. Recommend it highly. My favourite flavour is Rocky Road whicy tastes kind of like marshmallow chocolate.

Don't buy strawberry and banana

If aids was a flavour it would be gold st strawberry and banana absolutely vile. feel ripped off slightly tbh. Gonna have to suffer this for weeks. Bork.

WAHEY WHEY!

Gold standard whey is great definitely the best for taste that i've experienced and great value for what you get - especially this 10lb bag because you're never going to not need it! A must buy for anyone serious about getting their whey protein.

Best Gold Standard Whey Deal

This is the best offer I have seen on Gold Standard Whey 2.27kg. Thanks Predator!

There are a lot of wheys out there but nothing else has the range of flavours, high whey isolate content, and digestibility as Optimum Gold Whey Standard. I have tried a lot of wheys but this is definitely worth the extra money.

Very good

Does exactly what you expect it to do with regards to faster recovery. I have used both double chocolate and banana flavours and can say it is one of the best tasting powders I have tried. I highly recommend mixing it with 300-500ml of milk then using it on your cereal in the morning, a great high protein breakfast.

Great Protein

Been using this a while now. I've great results with, and it doesn't clump! Best favour has to be banana cream!nAvoid strawberry if you can!

Very Very Good

The taste of this is just brilliant. I have the double choc and its the muts nuts and i can also say that predator are the best for value.

Top whey

You can't beat optimum gold standard whey. Best whey for quality, results and taste IMO.

BESTONMARKET

This is without a doubt the best whey on the market at the moment. its definitely the best tasting whey iv ever used and i noticed alot of good results using this product, aided recovery and consumes fast. personally wont be using any other whey from now on

I will stick to this!

Over the years I have tried various protein powders but for me this is the one to stick to. The flavours all range from nice to very good and the texture/mixing of the drink is great. The results, for me, have all been positive. I have made good gains with no side effects like bloating, wind or spots (other proteins have given me a spotty back) and I highly recommend this product. Keep up the good work Predator and Opt' Nutrition!

GREAT OFFER

CAN'T BELIEVE THIS OFFER WITH FREE CELLMASS. BUY BUY BUY!

The Gold Standard of protein powders

Gold Standard Whey is the only whey protein I can take which gives me no digestive problems AND which tastes superb. You get what you pay for normally and this is no exception - more expensive than some but the best all the same.

ON Gold

I have tried many tastes of Optimum Gold Standard. First ones were strawberry and I liked it, but every taste gets old. Then I tried chocolate, both milk and double rich chocolate. Double rich is my favourite of gold standard. Rocky road is also decent, but I don't like marzipan, so I don't buy that again. I've tried strawberry-banana mix, but that was too sweet. Tastes are good, BUT for me the texture of this protein is too liquid. The shake it too watery. I don't put too much water, its even above recommended, but I think its just me. I like more creamy shakes. Overall: tastes are good and contents are good also. I just don't like the mixture.

Best whey protien out

I have tried many different brands and always come back to on whey, its my number one whey blend choice. Banana and strawberry seem to be the best mixing with food etc it works great.

Great product

This is by far the best tasting product out there at the moment. I have had some poor tasting products before. I bought this as a tester and now will be purchasing this product on every order due to the great taste and protein per serving. Highly recommend this to any person sick or poor tasting products

Strawberry ON Whey

Great product, fantasitc taste, not carboardy like some others. Mixes well to give a smooth shake. Have noticed a difference in results when using, compared to when not using this protein.

Excellent Tasting

Best protien I've used. Mixes well, tastes excellent and has no doubt been a huge factor in improved results from training. Looking forward to trying other flavours too.

Gold Standard Whey

Caramel Toffee Fudge definately the best!

Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey 2.27kg Double Rich Chocolate
Predator Review

Predator Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Review

What is Gold Standard 100%?

Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey Protein rightly deserves its crown as the king of protein powders. It shines in taste, quality, mixability and protein content. Gold Standard Whey is the ultimate supplement to top up your protein intake for lean gains in muscle, satiety and recovery from training.

What is Gold Standard Whey good for?

Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey is good for both muscle building and fat loss diets, being high in protein and low in fats/carbs. For a premium quality, highly anabolic, great tasting whey protein that is easily digested you need to look no further than Gold Standard 100% Whey. 

How to use ON Gold Standard Whey Protein

 

When to use Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey

The best time to take Gold Standard 100% Whey protein is post-workout when precious essential amino acids are needed to repair and rebuild muscle that has been broken down during a training session. Despite this, GSW makes a great convenient protein source at any time of day to ensure you meet your macro targets.

Gold Standard 100% Whey Review

Optimum Nutrition ensures that at all times the protein percentage is around 80% protein and that it includes a high degree of superior quality whey isolate and whey hydrolysates. These have a higher biological value than bog-standard whey protein concentrate meaning they have greater anabolic properties than regular whey proteins. Combine this with the fact that Gold Standard Whey is lower in fats and sugars than most other brands' whey proteins and you can appreciate why this protein has such a huge fan base.

Bodybuilders sometimes joke about how certain proteins make them pass wind but accept this as the price to be paid for a high protein diet. However, when you have flatulence or bloating from protein powder it is a sure sign that you are not digesting the proteins properly so that irrespective of how many grams of protein it lists on the label, your muscles will not be receiving the full benefits. Wasting money on a protein that you convert to gas rather than muscle makes no sense at all.

Gold Standard Whey's use of higher whey proteins makes it lower in fats, sugars and lactose. Going further, Optimum Nutrition have incorporated a digestive enzyme complex that improves digestion with different enzymes improving the body's ability to digest carbohydrates, fats, protein and lactose. Compared to cheap whey this means more of your protein is going to building muscle when using Gold Standard Whey.

Gold Standard Whey is available in 450g, 907g, 2.27kg and 4.54kg sizes, and comes with a huge range of flavour options like their caramel frappe, chocolate peanut butter and double chocolate, to name just a few of our favourites. As a high-quality whey protein, Gold Standard Whey has a silky texture and mixes very easily with water and whenever we have taste tested their flavours they invariably get great reviews from people who appreciate the fact that it is neither overly sweet nor does it have an artificial taste synonymous with poor quality proteins.

Best about

Best about in terms of taste and product

Best Whey available

The best whey protein on the market. More expensive than some but tastes great, the Chocolate Mint flavour especially, mixes well and gets results

Tastes good

Chocolate flavour tastes good. MIxes well and no clumps even with 3 scoops in 400ml milk. Not the cheapest but it's a nice treat when on offer.

Simply the best

This stuff tastes amazing, mixes well with water or milk! Can’t beat this product

Great Protein!

had a few tubs of this now and is really good. easy to mix and nice tasting - can't go wrong

White chocolate raspberry

I am slowly making my way through all the protein flavours for this brand. I do tend to think simpler flavours are better but this was a pleasant break... I have only given it 4 stars as the raspberry bits are a little weird to begin with when drinking them but it is an interesting taste to have for a change. I think for me it could become a little sickly if having more than a shake a day but definitely worth giving it a go!

The best protein

I bought this protein many times. For me a very good protein with great taste. Recommended

BEST WHEY

I always use this whey, its good, reliable, very tasty, and quick shipping from Predator Nutrition. 10/10 from me, i get a tub every month

Great Protein

Easily my main go-to protein for great taste and protein content, good price helps, all in all easily the best protein that I use.

Amazing

The best Whey Protein that you can buy.

My go-to whey of choice

Ive been using this whey for years, occasionally trying other wheys but this has come out on top with taste, macro profile as well as mixability. I have a tub a month and ON whey is the whey to go

Among the best whey protein available

I've been using ON gold standard whey since forever except few breaks here and there but always came back to it for taste and quality. It tastes great in most options and never had any problem digesting it.

Great protein

Excellent protein, mixes brilliant no lumps and very smooth nice tasting too. Overall I'd say it's the best protein I've tried.

Brilliant stuff

Great tasting low in calories whey protein!

Great alrounder

This is the first protein powder I've bought and simply because of this, I will never buy another brand again. The flavours are strong, fairly high protein content, mixes well and has minimal of the bad stuff (sugar, fat etc); all for a good price.

The King of Whey Protein

The most recognised protein in the world and there's a good reason. Easy to mix, great profile, great profile of taste varieties - a classic.

Best money can buy

Gold Standard Whey is the obvious choice for whey protein. Mixes well and the flavours are great!

Best Protein Shake

One of the best protein shakes I've ever had. Great flavour too!

5*

Only protein I've ever bought, not planning on switching anytime soon. Made my way through almost every flavour and cant complain about any! Amazing quality and amazing taste!

Great flavours

Best choc mint that I've had, doesn't have that chemical mint taste nor that chalky chocolate taste you can get with cheaper brands, just tastes like a milk shake.

Best yet

Best protein I've tried so far, easy to mix, tastes great, does what it says on the tin.

MINT chocolate.

Awesome! This stuff is well known and for good reason.

ON Gold

This is the protein I use the most, mixes well and tastes great. Prefer the double chocolate and extreme milk chocolate, just had a chocolate mint and nowhere near as nice in my opinion.

Optimum Nutrition: Gold Standard 100% Whey

Really good product, it has been the base of my supplementation for more than five years now, every morning when I wake up and after every workout I use the product. it's fundamental in a performance diet, and really good quality also.

Double rich chocolate

Double rich chocolate!! Tastes so good, mixes really well with porridge or pancakes. Be careful as having the same flavour day in day out can get pretty boring.

Top Quality

Great quality protein and tastes amazing!!

Tasty

A scoop of oat meal is fantastic, just wish it was more of a isolate.

Repeat customer

I’ve been using this stuff for years now, choc mint is as nice as a shake can get in my opinion and it doesn’t taste too sweet. Mixes well with milk or water, never had lumps or unmixed powder after shaking with this stuff.

Great

Double rich chocolate tast is good but milk chocolate is something else

Great protein

Used gold standard a few times now and I've never been disappointed. A tonne of protein per scoop. Optimum Nutrition has always been consistent with their products & continue to deliver, highly recommend.

Best tasting powder out there

The title says it all... Up until now, I've been a vanilla kinda guy, but ON's chocolate flavour is heavenly nectar. It mixes very well and it has BCAAs included. I mean, what's not to love?

Double Rich Chocolate

Tastes delicious and mixes perfectly.

Smashing

This proves that something can be good for you and taste like it's from heaven. Great quality protein shake and a great taste. Could we ask for any more? I think not!

No. 1

Best ever protein I've ever had. Takes my no.1 spot.

Exceptional

I don't normally like chocolate shakes, BUT! This is an exception to that rule. Great tasting and good quality. I am old enough to remember when all protein shakes tasted like s***. Boy, how times have changed. There are some smashing flavours about nowadays and this is one of them.

Vanilla Ice Cream

It’s hard to complain about Optimum Nutrition’s Gold Standard 100% Whey. The price is reasonable, there are a variety of flavors and sizes, and you can find this product almost anywhere. It also mixes well with other ingredients and works well in baking. My only complaint is that the consistency is a bit too thin for my preference – even when mixed with almond or low-fat milk. It’s not my favourite protein powder, that would be Trutein, but it’s among the better powders that I have sampled.

Rocky Road is Amazing

This is the Best protein for the price. It tastes great and mixes super fast and easy. My favourite is Rocky Road.

Worthy of the price

This is a little more expensive as protein powders go - But! It is worthy of the price - tastes great and is good quality. All good. Makes protein shakes something to look forward to rather than something to hold your nose, close your eyes and chug down. AH! The good old days.

Double Whammy

Often we accept that good protein will taste a bit iffy. And in the past, this has been the case. Not now! This is quality and it tastes good.

Not the best selling protein for nothing

Everybody knows that gold standard whey is the best selling protein as you always get results with it. Highly recommended!

Caramel Toffee Fudge

The best protein out there. Not as tasty as the choc peanut butter, but still very good.

Great Protein Powder

This protein tastes great and mixes well too. It's perfect after a workout or for a high protein snack. I have been using this product for over 3 years.

Very good

It's easy to mix and tastes good.

Favorite protein

This is my favourite protein regarding taste, and effectiveness.

great

best protein available

great!

I tried this for a while, it is my favorite protein which is rich in nutrients!

High quality

Good taste High quality product

Big fan

All tasty flavours and not loaded with loads of chemicals and rubbish. Quality serving size and low calories too and mixes great too!

Best protein out there

no gas, no extra carbs or sugars, does the job!

Love it

Great protein product. I ordered this on my last order. Will order again. Great taste, easy to digest. Would highly recommend this protein.

High quality

Mixes really well and you know you can trust it being from Optimum. The birthday cake flavour is surprisingly not sickly at all and went down easily. Only downside is the cost which I feel is too high.

The best

The best I have tried by far

The market standard

No more to say on ON gold standard whey, it is the market standard!

Good deal

Great taste easy to mix and lots of flavors

The best protein out there!

Hands down the no.1 protein out there for years! Tastes great and mixes so well, cant go wrong with any of the flavours!

vanilla ice cream gold standard whey

definitely the best flavour that I have tried so far. mixes well into protein pancakes and isnt too thick

Best on the market

Go to protein, best quality, great taste, easy to mix.

Love it!

Mixes well! Tastes great! Definitely need to buy again

Awsome

Tastes amazing

High class protein

You get what you pay for. This is the real stuff.

Gold Standard Whey French Vanilla

The best protein i've personally had, the flavour is highly enjoyable and very easy to drink even with just water. Mixes really well with either water or milk, I have even put a tea spoon in my black coffee which was well worth a go

Double Rich Chocolate

A great protein with good quality materials. However, I ordered it thinking it would be delicious just like the reviews said but I didn't like the flavour at all and didn't think it was as good as other brands for flavour. It tasted too ashey and not as chocolate-y as the name Double Rich Chocolate would suggest. That could just be my individual opinion, or a bad batch, but that's the experience I had.

Consistently Good!

I have been using Gold Standard Whey for years on and off, while trying other brands like reflex, phd or myprotein. I keep coming back to this for nutritional value, taste and mixability. You hardly even notice its a protein shake! Would and have recommended over and over again!

Staple protein

Bought the big bag as used daily. Nice, good quality and easy to drink protein. Good value for money too. Big bag will probebly last me 6 months. Used for years and always will.

Top quality

I use this whey protein during my cut and it works fantastically, it packs a lot of protein into each scoop as well as having very low fat and carb contents. I would definitely reccomend this to anyone who is unsure and even seasoned lifters!

Milk Chocolate

I tried the milk chocolate flavour and it is incredible, especially with semi-skimmed milk. Couldn't fault the product

My favourite protein powder

Favourite so far is Extreme Milk Chocolate, then Double Rich Chocolate. Costs more than most other whey but mixes well, tastes good and great profile. Best to stock up on a few when on offer.

Great

Great product, I find this to work better than most. Pricey but nutritional value is greater

Extreme Milk Chocolate all the way!

The flavour Extreme Milk Chocolate is THE best flavour, if you prefer your protein powder with a natural taste of chocolate milk!

Rich and delicious

Ive been working out for almost 11 years, and drinking protein Shakes just as long, tried almost everything out there. And over the year the shakes have just gotten better, but this ( cookies and cream ) takes the absolute first place ! For me atleast, its Rich, round and creamy, and not artificially sweet ! Next up is the other flavors And im gonna try and make this in to icecream ! Gonna be epic

Double rich chocolate

Maybe the quality is good, most isolates and then concentrate, but I have tried many other quality brands that tastes a lot better.

Easy mix and great taste

Having tried many proteins on the market this one gives me no bloating and nasty effects of cheaper protein. Mixes well and tastes great. for the price, you cant complain!!

best protein

I can't stop using this product, such a great taste and what a great result

Great

Wouldn't use any other protein, best on the market.

Can't Fault

ON always come up trumps on the product front - high quality and great tasting!

Amazing protein, mediocre flavour

Bought 77 servings worth of Strawberry a few months back, mixes very well along with Optimum's creatine, but after a few weeks of Strawberry I am completely sick of the flavour. Will buy again but will definitely go for a more plain flavour such as vanilla, or buy less servings so I can change flavour more often.

Cant go wrong with this one

Tried multiple flavor, always tasted good and mixed well. cant go wrong with this one

Great

Love this protein powder.

excellent

have been using this protein powder for a long time and have to say its one of the most effective powders on the market.

The gold standard

Great quality protein. Tastes great and mixes well. Tried many proteins in my time but always come back to this if I have the money.

Gold standard

The best whey protein by far it's called gold standard for a reason tastes great mixes well and great ingredients

Gold standard

Best protein shake by a mile easy to mix great taste and packed with great ingredients

Choc peanut butter ON whey

Hands down the best shake overall in my opinion, tastes great, mixes well and provides 'optimum' recovery... excuse the pun ;)

Best Whey Protein You Can Buy

It's in the title. Best tasting, mix-ability and bang for your buck. Can't rate this high enough

Best Overal

Best overal for protein. Taste acceptable. Good effect, especially for morning workout.

One of, if not THE best whey proteins on the market

In terms of taste, mix ability and convenience this is a great whey protein. perfect for pre or post workout, or even in the morning. Great to stock up now as its currently on offer and a competitive price with other lower quality proteins.

Super Impressed

Not only the lowest price for the GSW on the web, but also free delivery that arrived within 48 hours. Very happy customer and will buy from this website again.

GREAT PRODUCT - Chocolate

Tastes great, easy to mix, digests very easily and contains a good amount of protein. Would not buy another brand now I've had this.

Best protein

This is by far the best protein, Optimum Nutrition always has the best products and also they have the best flavours. With such a huge selection, you can't ask for anything better.

Still The Best

I've used this protein for years and tried many different ones too. This is still the best for flavour, mixing and recovery. I can honestly say when I have experimented with different proteins, I always seem to recover faster with this one!

ON 100%

GREAT VALUE. GREAT TASTE. GREAT RESULTS.

Best protein

after using this protein I can really see the difference

Gold Standard

Gold standard whey is by far my winning protein powder. I look forward to my protein shakes, and enjoy them thoroughly too. The flavour, and thickness is spot on, absolutely no complaints at all!

definitely buy again

Great results

Highly Recommended

ON 100% Gold Standard is the only whey I use... I have severe digestive problems, and this is the only whey that works for me. Haven't tried the casein yet, but I trust this brand and have heard nothing but good reviews. Grateful for this offer, because at this value it gave me a chance to finally try it. Delivery was great too! Many thanks, Predator Nutrition

I can't live without it!

Tried a few proteins over the years and this one is the best by miles! Some people say this too easily but it does actually taste nice (Vanilla Ice Cream).

Great Value

Best value for one of the best products available (considering what some company's outrageously charge). Will only be buying from here from now on.

Great value all round !!

I have purchased my first tub of this protein and boy am I happy I've opted for this (My goals: gain lean quality size). Like with others I wasn't sure but after speaking to the staff and predator nutrition I decided to choose this. The shake itself is so easy to mix and does not leave you feeling bloated as some protein shakes might, I have gone for the mocca-chinno flavour and I'll tell you its far far off from tasting like a starbucks!! Just had it for 2 weeks and the recovery time is really will update more with other results in a few weeks but my advice is don't beat around the bush. IF YOU WANT QUALITY THEN YOU WILL PAY FOR QUALITY WITH THIS. Thanks predator nutrition !!!

Good product

Very good product and tastes amazing

Great whey protein

ON Gold Standard 100% Whey is by far my favourite whey protein. I've tried a lot of protein powders, but gold standard is the best one. My fav flavours are caramel and cookies & cream

Great Whey

Excellent whey at a reasonable price, tastes good and isn't too heavy!

Great tasting breakfast

I love this product. I have the chocolate mint flavour in my car and have it for breakfast everyday. Best tasting protein I have ever used.

Amazing all around!

I've been going to gym to bulk up a lil bit and I've had a couple of different shakes but so far this has had the best effect on me. I've noticed I have built in size a bit and my recovery time is a lot better compare to the other shakes I've had. I brought this protein shake a few weeks ago and I cannot find a single fault with it yet. The taste is second to none. The shake taste alright with water but even better with milk. Tastes just like a milk shake. I do find that after you have done shaking it you have to leave for a 1 minute or 2 so that the bubbles get out Which is no big deal otherwise it seems to taste a lil bit chemically. As for mixability it is awesome. I can assure you that if you put the powder in first and after add the milk or water you will not hav but that's no big deal e powder stuck and the bottom of your shaker like some of the previous protein shakes I have had. This is especially handy for when you want to have a shake straight after the gym or to take to work etc. All in all this is a great protein shake and if you are hesitating whether this product is for you don't worry. I was in your shoes debating whether it was as good as people say it is and it exceeded my expectations.

amazing

Best protein around!!

Great Deal with samples

Cant beat this value. Gold standard is the best protein on the market and the extra items here put this over the top. Thumbs Up!

100% whey protein

Best whey protein on the market

The Best..

There isn't better. Simples. (French Vanilla all the way - tip... Mix it with milk, I'd drink it all day)

Quality

The Extreme Milk Chocolate flavour tastes a bit sweet, however the double chocolate is amazing with both water and milk (I use 200ml of water per scoop) . I play rugby and lift weights 3 times per week. The difference in results is noticeable, however what is most impressive is how it helps recovery time. Will be buying again, but I will change the flavours around to stop me getting bored

Bad choices

Do not buy the cookies and cream flavour. Tastes like butterscotch and incredibly sickly. I can't drink this during or post workout. Good protein, great for those that are lactose intolerant. Just a terrible flavour.

Gold Standard by name, Gold Standard by nature

Used a load of proteins in the past (good and bad) but this is exceptional. You don't win Protein of the year so many times by accident. Shame the price has gone up, but great deal with amino energy. So many flavours, and most are very good.

Best out there

Gold standard whey is the best protein in the world. Best taste and protein content and made by Optimum Nutrition so you know it will be spot on. I prefer the strawberry flavour myself but really they are all nice. The deal with the Amino energy is a great bonus too.

perfect

best whey ever tried high protein bang for buck worth it

Good value for money

Good product with great taste, also cheaper than some of the rivals for example USN! Would recommend

best whey

best whey going would recommend to anyone

very good product.

it's a great product but i'm not a big fan of the flavors (tried cookies&cream and mochachino).nmixes well and good results

Great tasting product

I really like the caramel toffee flavour but to be fair all the flavours by Optimum are good. Mixes easily and works a treat:)

Best whey around

You cannot beat Gold Standard Whey, it is the best protein and tastes great and I find I gain better while using this compared to cheaper wheys. Like everything you get what you pay for.

Gold standard whey rocks

This is the only whey protein which I can tolerate easily as most cheap wheys out there cause me stomach issues. The flavours are great and predator has a ton of great deals on gold standard whey (a free gift pack right now is well worth a purchase).

Gold Standard Whey IS The Gold Standard!

Gold standard whey is the one which all other whey proteins are measured against. Simply the best protein and one which there is a great offer on now!

Great offer

I normally buy Gold Standard Whey anyway but since it went on offer at the store with Amino Energy, it is a great deal. Since the VAT protein prices have shot up so it is great that Optimum and Predator have worked this deal. The Amino energy itself is a great preworkout and I think I may pick it up in future anyway (I normally use Craze but it makes for a nice change up).

GO FOR IT, IT IS AWESOME

This is totally worth it one of the best tasting protein shakes, I've tried loads of flavours I got the Rocky Road this time mixes easily too and the price is good value for money DON'T THINK TWICE.

Good protein and taste

I have only ever used gold standard and it's the only protein I can use which doesn't make me bloated or make my skin itch. I think/thought I might be intolerant to dairy but gold standard whey is fine. Recommend it highly. My favourite flavour is Rocky Road whicy tastes kind of like marshmallow chocolate.

Don't buy strawberry and banana

If aids was a flavour it would be gold st strawberry and banana absolutely vile. feel ripped off slightly tbh. Gonna have to suffer this for weeks. Bork.

WAHEY WHEY!

Gold standard whey is great definitely the best for taste that i've experienced and great value for what you get - especially this 10lb bag because you're never going to not need it! A must buy for anyone serious about getting their whey protein.

Best Gold Standard Whey Deal

This is the best offer I have seen on Gold Standard Whey 2.27kg. Thanks Predator!

Gold Standard Rules

There are a lot of wheys out there but nothing else has the range of flavours, high whey isolate content, and digestibility as Optimum Gold Whey Standard. I have tried a lot of wheys but this is definitely worth the extra money.

Very good

Does exactly what you expect it to do with regards to faster recovery. I have used both double chocolate and banana flavours and can say it is one of the best tasting powders I have tried. I highly recommend mixing it with 300-500ml of milk then using it on your cereal in the morning, a great high protein breakfast.

Great Protein

Been using this a while now. I've great results with, and it doesn't clump! Best favour has to be banana cream!nAvoid strawberry if you can!

Very Very Good

The taste of this is just brilliant. I have the double choc and its the muts nuts and i can also say that predator are the best for value.

Top whey

You can't beat optimum gold standard whey. Best whey for quality, results and taste IMO.

BESTONMARKET

This is without a doubt the best whey on the market at the moment. its definitely the best tasting whey iv ever used and i noticed alot of good results using this product, aided recovery and consumes fast. personally wont be using any other whey from now on

I will stick to this!

Over the years I have tried various protein powders but for me this is the one to stick to. The flavours all range from nice to very good and the texture/mixing of the drink is great. The results, for me, have all been positive. I have made good gains with no side effects like bloating, wind or spots (other proteins have given me a spotty back) and I highly recommend this product. Keep up the good work Predator and Opt' Nutrition!

GREAT OFFER

CAN'T BELIEVE THIS OFFER WITH FREE CELLMASS. BUY BUY BUY!

The Gold Standard of protein powders

Gold Standard Whey is the only whey protein I can take which gives me no digestive problems AND which tastes superb. You get what you pay for normally and this is no exception - more expensive than some but the best all the same.

ON Gold

I have tried many tastes of Optimum Gold Standard. First ones were strawberry and I liked it, but every taste gets old. Then I tried chocolate, both milk and double rich chocolate. Double rich is my favourite of gold standard. Rocky road is also decent, but I don't like marzipan, so I don't buy that again. I've tried strawberry-banana mix, but that was too sweet. Tastes are good, BUT for me the texture of this protein is too liquid. The shake it too watery. I don't put too much water, its even above recommended, but I think its just me. I like more creamy shakes. Overall: tastes are good and contents are good also. I just don't like the mixture.

Best whey protien out

I have tried many different brands and always come back to on whey, its my number one whey blend choice. Banana and strawberry seem to be the best mixing with food etc it works great.

Great product

This is by far the best tasting product out there at the moment. I have had some poor tasting products before. I bought this as a tester and now will be purchasing this product on every order due to the great taste and protein per serving. Highly recommend this to any person sick or poor tasting products

Strawberry ON Whey

Great product, fantasitc taste, not carboardy like some others. Mixes well to give a smooth shake. Have noticed a difference in results when using, compared to when not using this protein.

Excellent Tasting

Best protien I've used. Mixes well, tastes excellent and has no doubt been a huge factor in improved results from training. Looking forward to trying other flavours too.

Gold Standard Whey

Caramel Toffee Fudge definately the best!
