Usage Occasions

The amino acids in protein are the building blocks of muscle protein synthesis. A whey protein shake consumed before or after exercise helps kick-start this recovery process.

Naturally Flavored Gold Standard Whey

Whey Protein Isolates (WPI) are the purest form of whey protein that currently exists. By using WPI as our primary protein source, we're able to pack in 24 grams of the purest protein with a lot less of the fat, lactose, and other stuff that you can do without.

What makes this formula even better is the fact that it contains no artificial flavors or sweeteners. There's no question this is the standard by which other whey proteins are measured.

User questions & answers

Question:	I ordered the 2 pound container. I opened it and don't see a scoop and the powder only goes to about halfway up the container. Is this normal
Answer:	After you open it and take out the scoop, close the container an shake it up and down for about 10 seconds, it will fluff back up to about 3/4 full.
Question:	Does this product work well for losing weight
Answer:	If you lift weights and are simultaneously cutting weight and trying not to lose too much muscle along with the fat, then absolutely yes. I'd even say substituting out other calories for a couple scoops of this a day is almost mandatory on a weight cut for lifters trying to maintain strength. You can use this to substantially raise the % of your calories you're getting from protein so that you eat enough protein while eating fewer total calories. One scoop of this stuff is 120 calories and 24 grams of protein. That's 96 calories from protein our of 120 total, a massive 80%.
Question:	If I were to make protein shakes with single serving size portions about 5 days/week, how long do you think a 2 lb container would last me? 5 lb? THX
Answer:	2lbs = 29 servings. Roughly, 5 days/week with a 4 week month is about 20 servings (excluding weekends). That leaves you with roughly 9 servings for the month left. I work out everyday but only take a shake after a workout. 2 lbs lasts me about a month. 5 lbs = 75 servings. For me, a 5 lb tub would easily be 2 months maybe 2.5. If you plan on staying with ON, it's more cost-effective to purchase the 5 lb tub depending on the vendor. Hope this helps.
Question:	Will consuming more whey (protein) help my rotator cuff tear heal
Answer:	I'm currently sitting here with a second surgery on my shoulder. First time was labrum tear and second was latarjet. I can say with 100% confidence drinking this will not help heal your rotator cuff. You posted this in 2013 and it is 3 years later, if you haven't seen a specialist and it hasn't given you problems that you are one lucky SOB. If it's still giving you problems, see a specialist or do PT. You probably need surgery depending on the tear. You don't want to live with that un-repaired the rest of your life haha.

Product description

2.5 g L-Leucine 1.25 g L-Isoleucine 1.25 g L-Valine 60 Servings 5 g Branched Chain Amino Acid Supplement True StrengthThe True Strength of Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs)L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, and L-Valine are commonly grouped together and referred to as Branched Chain Amino Acids, or BCAAs, because of their unique branched chemical structure. BCAAs are essential, meaning that they must be consumed through the diet, since the human body cannot make them from other compounds. BCAAs have long been used by strength-training and endurance athletes alike to support protein synthesis and recovery from intense training. Our Instantized BCAA 5000 Powder is made using a proprietary process that mixes easily and keeps the BCAAs suspended longer so they do not readily settle to the bottom of the glass. Because if you can't drink your BCAAs, they can't help your performance.

• Dietary supplement
• Easy mixing formula
• Blend of the three branched chain amino acids

User questions & answers

Question:	Is one serving actually enough? I heard you need 10g of BCAA before workout. One serving only has 1g
Answer:	2.5 grams of leucine is the proven amount needed to trigger protein synthesis. That's 5g total or 10 pills. I'm not sure why the doses on these are so small but I figure if an 80 pound asian girl needs 2.5g of leucine then going with more BCAAs would probably serve you better. That's an insane amount of pills but this is to avoid using the powder that stinks and tastes awful. Obi Obadike recommends 10g of BCAA pre and post Workout. 20g of BCAAs is 40 pills!
Question:	Is this BCAA Lactose free
Answer:	Yes it is, no problems what so ever just make sure you drink enough water when taking them so they end up in your stomach if not you might burp and might taste the BCAA powder :) hope this helps!
Question:	My canister was sealed, but the canister was only half full of powder. Is that normal
Answer:	Yes. It's normal. I am currently enjoying your second half as we speak. I would weigh the container as it's the only true way of knowing if you got shorted.
Question:	Are these expensive pills an improvement over drinking milk
Answer:	Hahahaha! "I don't drink milk, it's for babies" - Arnold Schwarzenegger

Product description

Faster digesting protein is desirable immediately before and after exercise to help refuel recovering muscles, but slow digestion and absorption may be more beneficial at other times including bedtime when your body typically goes for hours without food. Casein products are acid sensitive and thicken in the stomach. Compared to some other proteins, it can take longer for our GOLD STANDARD 100% Casein to be broken down into its amino acid subcomponents. By using only premium micellar casein as a protein source, we've created a formula that sets the standard for slow digesting protein support. Nearly 5 Grams of Naturally Occurring Glutamine and Glutamic Acid per Scoop.

User questions & answers

Question:	Why do the ingredients say milk when it’s a vegan product
Answer:	I'm pretty sure it will, you could call a sprint store and make sure.
Question:	Manufacturer ? only please: is there maltodextrin in this? often falls under”natural” flavors in many protein powders. my body can not tolerate it
Answer:	single
Question:	Does this product contain whey
Answer:	yes you have 90 day guarantee
Question:	What is "natural flavor"? i have found that "natural flavor" can actually be a hidden source of msg. what does "natural flavor" mean here
Answer:	No the one I got was a us version from at&t, was a scam don't waste your time. Amazon use to be trusting and now third party companies say what they want and even though Amazon stands behind their money back guarantee, it still stinks
Question:	will it work on sprint network
Answer:	Someone on YouTube just did a review on the new 45 charger comparing it to the 25 watt charger. There appears to be a ~10% difference between the two chargers.
Question:	Is it single or dual sim
Answer:	I preordered my Galaxy Note 10+ on August 16 along with this charger. I just received a shipping notice today on 9-10-19 with a delivery date of 9-13-19 and it's in transit through FedEx. So they are starting to ship them.
Question:	Can I return this phone if I don’t like it
Answer:	It will work with any phone, but not at 45 watts, all Samsung phones from the note 4/ s5 and newer (except the note 10 of course) are 18 watts. They should charge at this rate with this charger.
Question:	Is this truly unlocked? And is real
Answer:	It is genuine. It is not half price as Samsung has 2 models. This is the 800N and the more expensive one which does include a cable is 800X. Not sure the other differences but it is a definite Samsung product.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this Gluten free
Answer:	The Gold Standard 100% Plant protein pictured at left is vegan and does not contain milk. If you look at the selection bar at top right of Amazon page, you can choose Gold Standard 100% Whey which is a dairy (milk) based protein. Two very different products both made to the highest quality standards.
Question:	How is the quality
Answer:	Went to the website, only shows the ingredient list which includes: “Natural Flavors” listed as an ingredient. Not transparent at all, I suggest going with an alternate brand that will be transparent vs this brand that offers vague misleading information.
Question:	I am traveling soon and i want to take these in my carry-on?will this be able to be tsa approved
Answer:	No it does not. Whey is a dairy protein which comes from cow's milk, not from plants. The protein sources in Gold Standard 100% Plant are organic Pea, Brown Rice and Sacha Inchi proteins.
Question:	While mine came sealed canister only half full, is that due to settling or was mine defective
Answer:	The product is sweetened with plant-based stevia. There are no artificial flavors or coloring, and we did not add any MSG to the formula.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is this good for women? I know there are different ones for men and women
Answer:	This product does not fit exclusively into the pre-workout category. Because there are many consumers who don't want huge doses of caffeine, a 2-scoop serving of Amino Energy provides 100 mg of caffeine from natural sources. That's about what you get in one cup of coffee. This product is also more versatile than a typical pre-workout, and allows you to add more scoops to a larger volume of water to increase the level of caffeine and amino acid support.
Question:	Can anyone compare this to NO-Xplode, first hand
Answer:	Yes to all of them except the watermelon flavor - it uses beet powder for color.
Question:	How does this compare to C4? Better? Worse? Different
Answer:	I really enjoy the "orange cooler" flavor. It has a rather smooth taste after it completely dissolves (which does take a bit of stirring to accomplish).
Question:	Is this good for running too? As in a 10 mile run
Answer:	I like Blue Raspberry but the only other flavor I've tried is the Iced Mocha, which also tastes very good, but I first tried it with coconut milk and I added collagen protein powder and I drank this 3 times that day and felt ill that evening, not sure why, but I've found that the iced mocha tastes just as good with water than it does in milk. And the water seems to go easier with my digestion and it doesn't make me feel ill. I don't put but a scoop of either of these in my water at a time though, but I'm 60 yrs young so I try not to over do energy drinks, but I sure do like them! Also, this type doesn't make my muscles sting like some energy pre-workout powders do, so I really like that a lot.
