What Is It?

Same great quality of Gold Standard Whey, but no artificial sweeteners or flavors.

Usage Occasions

• First thing in the morning
• Before exercise
• After exercise

Benefits

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.

Product description

POWERED BY ULTRA FAST ABSORBING WHEY PEPTIDES AND WHEY PROTEIN ISOLATE

Whey protein is the king of proteins! Bodybuilders and other athletes have relied on this easily absorbed, high biological value protein to help them build muscle as part of their training programs for more than 20 years. High quality whey protein contains high amounts of the amino acid leucine, one of the key building blocks of muscle and a key trigger of protein synthesis in the body, and is also high in other BCAAs – making it perfect for post workout recovery and overall musclebuilding. Each scoop of Premium Gold 100 percent Whey Protein is packed with 24g of whey, including high quality whey peptides, whey protein concentrate and whey protein isolate.



WHEY PEPTIDES

Also known as hydrolyzed whey protein, whey peptides are fast absorbing whey protein micro fractions. They have the powerful ability to promote rapid recovery from exercise and improve nutrient delivery. What’s more, whey peptides have one of the highest biological values (BV) of any protein source, a value given to protein sources to measure how well they are absorbed and used by the body.



Clinical research on whey peptides shows that they can promote rapid recovery from exercise! This is a direct response to whey peptides rapidly releasing an abundance of amino acids in the blood. With Premium Gold 100 percent Whey Protein, you’re getting an ultra pure, rapidly absorbed and quickly digested protein that allows you to recover faster, build more lean muscle mass and get better results from your training sessions!



WHEY ISOLATE

Our whey protein isolate is micro filtered to remove lactose, carbs and fat. This premium whey protein isolate provides your body with the highest biological value (BV) protein fractions. BV is a measure of how much of the protein’s compounds your body holds on to – a higher BV indicates a protein source with more musclebuilding potential.



FULLY DISCLOSED FORMULA

Each bottle of Premium Gold 100 percent Whey Protein is fully disclosed with no proprietary blends or hidden or underdosed ingredients. In addition, Team MuscleTech guarantees you are getting the exact amount of real protein that is displayed the labels – each and every scoop contains the full amount of protein stated on the label and is 100 percent real protein!



BEST IN CLASS TASTE

MuscleTech researchers worked closely with industry leading flavoring experts to constantly ensure that each high quality serving of Premium Gold 100 percent Whey Protein delivers all the mouthwatering, decadent taste of your favorite milkshake, while still delivering quality nutrition without the extra fat and carbs that many other protein powders have.

• Ultra premium protein featuring whey protein isolate and peptides: Each scoop is packed with 24 gram of whey, including high quality whey peptides, whey protein concentrate and whey protein isolate

User questions & answers

Question:	My scoop is missing and I don't have scale to measure out 33 grams. Does anybody know how many tablespoons are in a scoop
Answer:	The directions on the label says one scoop is 33g. This is a copy/paste from Google search "One rounded tablespoon of protein powder is about 25 grams. One level tablespoon of protein powder holds 15 grams" So 2 level tablespoons would be 30 grams. A level teaspoon would be 5 grams, since there are 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon. A 1/2 teaspoon would be 2.5 grams. So you would need 2 level tablespoons and a 1/2 teaspoon.
Question:	My canisters came without the lid being sealed with a band. retail products from mt come with lid sealed with a band of some type. is this normal
Answer:	I can't say that it's "normal", was the seal under the cap on ? . Mine came with a seal around the lid, so you may want to reach out to the seller directly and ask them why it came unsealed. If you have any doubt, contact the seller and ask them to send you another one that is sealed.
Question:	Does it make you lose weight
Answer:	No. Being in a caloric deficit will help with weight loss.
Question:	expiration date??? please
Answer:	A little over 3 years from the time you buy it. Got mine 2 weeks ago and it has an expiry date of Aug 2020.

User questions & answers

Question:	Has this been heavy metal tested
Answer:	Yes, we use a third party lab to test for heavy metals.
Question:	How can this product be raw if the manufacturer states it is pasteurized? I'm confused is it raw or pasteurized
Answer:	The Whey Protein that is in this product is in its raw form. We do not add any flavors, sweeteners or fillers. It is not processed.
Question:	Were the cows treated with antibiotics
Answer:	NO, the product is free of all growth hormones and antibiotics.
Question:	Why is this not labeled "organic
Answer:	Getting "organic" certification is very expensive and time consuming. These small family farmers would probably be forced to double their prices. If I had a choice between "organic" and "grass fed" I would always choose 100% grass fed and hope the grass isn't sprayed with anything harmful to the animals and me!

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the serving size, the calories per serving, and the grams of sugar and fat per serving? Thank you
Answer:	Serving size is two scoops (46grams) with 20 servings per container (40 scoops), 150 calories (40 from fat), 4g of Fat, 0g Saturated Fat, 1g sugar, 5g sugar alcohol, 125mg sodium, 21g protein, and 5g fiber
Question:	How does the flavor of Orgain plant-based vanilla protein compare to Garden of Life's raw vanilla protein
Answer:	I've had both, and Orgain's is very salty. It's got 270 mg sodium per serving, while Garden of Life's has like 160, I believe. I definitely prefer Garden of Life - which also offers many more nutrients. I just got the Orgain today and I'm taking it back to the store tomorrow for a refund - or an exchange, if they have Garden of Life. I'm loyal to them now.
Question:	Is there any information about the heavy metal contents in this product? Mainly Lead, Cadmium, and Arsenic
Answer:	I love this protein powder, but recently discovered it failed several tests in 2018 for arsenic and lead/cadmium levels. It was too high in both. Google the independent studies for protein powders and you will see it got an overall rating of 3 stars out of 5. What lowered this from 5 was the presence of arsenic and lead and or cadmium. These things are found in the soil of even Organic products.
Question:	Does it really taste good? Does it taste chalky at any point or does it have a Stevia aftertaste
Answer:	I just started drinking the chocolate protein powder for breakfast this past week on my way to work. The only other products I have to compare it to are the Garden of Life Raw Meal Vanilla and Chocolate SlimFast. To me, SlimFast tastes the best, but I think it's because it's cow-milk based. Secondly would be Orgain Chocolate. I do not find it chalky--I always use Almond Milk--but for me there is a slight aftertaste. It's not horrible and does not linger at all, and the chocolate creaminess definitely makes up for it, I find it really tastes great for not being cow-milk based. Don't even try Garden of Life Raw Meal, that stuff is disgusting.

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.

The Power of Protein

Protein plays a critical role in the functioning of the human body. Your body needs the proper amount of protein every day for building, repairing, and maintaining tissues. We often don’t think about how important it is, but protein is a building block of bones, organs, muscles, cartilage, skin, and blood.

How Much Protein Do I Need?

Protein needs may vary based on age, gender, and physical activity. A guideline to find the right amount is to multiply your body weight in pounds by 0.4–0.6 to determine the grams of protein needed per day.1-3

User questions & answers

Question:	Helloo is this 100% halal
Answer:	The product is not certified as Halal. All but four flavors use alcohol in the flavoring system. The ones that do not are: Coffee, Double Rich Chocolate and Cake Batter, but they are processed on the same equipment as alcohol-containing flavors.
Question:	what is the flavor difference between extreme milk chocolate and double rich chocolate
Answer:	In short, Extreme Chocolate tastes and mixes better if you don't mind the extra 0.5g of fat and extra ingredients. I bought both flavors and tried exactly 1 scoop in 7 ounce of water each. I mixed both with a cup and spoon and mixing the Extreme Chocolate took only a few seconds with very little effort. The other took about 3 minutes to desolve as much as the other. I tried book side by side and the double chocolate tasted so watered down and a bit bitter that I need to force myself to drink it. Then, I drank the Extreme chocolate and the drink was smooth and sweet. FINALLY, a protien shake I could drink with pleasure. Hoped that helps you and others reading this!
Question:	Is there a reason why the 5 lb is so much thicker than the 2 lb? i tried the 2 lb, liked it, and order 5...outside of jug seems the same
Answer:	Get something like an "AMIR 500g/0.01g Digital Kitchen Scale". They're twelve bucks & quite accurate. I suspect the powder is compressed, making the scoops a bit heavy. Measuring by weight instead of volume should provide more consistent results.
Question:	Body Fortress Super Advanced has 30 gr protein per scoop, and ON has 24 gr. what's the difference
Answer:	For one thing, Body Fortress has more calories than ON does. Body Fortress has 170 calories compared to ON's 120 calories for one serving. And on top of that, ON has 5 grams less of carbohydrates than Body Fortress does, and you want to to find a protein powder that has the least amount of carbohydrates.
