Whey protein Isolates are 90% pure protein by weight. They are the purest and most expensive form of whey protein that exists. That’s why they are the first ingredients you read on the 100% Whey Gold Standard label. By using Whey Protein Isolates as our primary protein source, we’re able to pack 24 grams of the purest, muscle-building protein per serving, with a lot less of the fat, cholesterol, lactose, and other stuff that you can do without. There’s no question this is the standard by which other whey proteins are measured.
• 24 g of pure, unadulterated whey protein per serving
• More Whey Protein Isolates (WPI) – the purest source of whey protein available
• Over 4 g of glutamine precursors and more than 5 g of BCAAs
• Includes Hydrowhey, lactase, and Aminogen
• Instantized to mix easily and completely
Also available in a Natural version - no artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners.
NOTE: Only those products listed with "Natural" in their product name contain all natural ingredients.

I'm going to make an educated guess and say that this protein is probably one of the most popular whey proteins being sold today - and with good reason. It's a simple formula of concentrate/isolate protein. It tastes good. It mixes easily (trust me, others don't). It's reasonably priced. I've seen everyone from bodybuilders to boxers supplementing with this brand. The truth is that pure whey is relatively easy to cull from milk, and it is relatively easy to maintain good quality, so the production costs are not very high. By its very nature it is not an incredibly difficult or technical process. This makes you wonder why a thousand other brands are marketing their whey as "pharmaceutical grade" and charging twice as much. 100% NATURAL Whey Protein is a good value.

I've been using this product for a decade. While other products often clump up or overly thicken unless a blender is employed, Optimum Nutrition's proteins dissolve even under the mere persuasion of a spoon in a glass. Vanilla tastes great with OJ or milk, chocolate works great with water or milk (and I sometimes add fortified peanut butter too for a taste treat) Great product and the best value for your dollar, too. A one-two punch that can't be beat.
I drink this everyday with soy milk and a few pieces of frozen fruit, holds my hunger away for about 3 hours. No after taste and the flavor is good, like it better than the vanilla. I do not like chocolate so wouldn't even try that.

Great product, faster results than others I have tried. More protein, less fat and calories per serving than others as well. Highly suggest trying this product. Also Netrition rocks! Great service, fast shipping. Thanks!
This is the most selling, best protein powder out there.
Having used all of the flavors
highly recommend: banana cream, caramel toffe fudge (little bit aftertaste though but my favorite), double rich chocolate, extreme milk choc., cookies n cream
for vanilla lovers vanilla ice cream and french vanilla are both amazing
strawberry tastes weak, orange cream is not good.
rocky road is disgusting. I could not still understand who would want that bitter taste.
Best price for protein powder!
Mixes well, tastes excellent and smooth, very little clumps with a shaker.
With 22 Amino Acids included, how can you go wrong? I have noticed gains from this and this is my 2nd purchase.
I've been buying whey protein for about a year, mostly buying it from a different online retailer. Their prices went up by $4.00 a container (17 shakes)and their shipping was pretty high, too. Someone online told me about netrition, and they have me as a loyal customer. I now purchase Optimum Nutrition Whey Protein, which comes in a ton of flavors (all good so far) and cost about $4.00 more for 34 shakes than the other place did for 17. When I go out of town, I measure out how many scoops I'll need and put it and the scoop into a zip-lock baggie. Good products, $4.95 shipping anywhere, fast delivery. What more could you ask for? Love it!

This is no doubt one of the best Proteins around - and I can say that, I've been around too and experimented with quite a few things online that almost killed me LOL . Now, the cost is way over my head, but the results are mind blowing that it's worth every penny they're asking for so, I can't complain about the price because they know what they got. What you put in (workout!) is what you get out, so if you're working real hard ... you will .... look .... like ... a professional bodybuilder when feeding your muscle the right proteins it needs. 100% Whey is what makes the ladies go "wow he's so BIG and STRONG" and the fellows will say, "you bet not mess with him, he's huge!" Real talk.
