Product Information

Third-party testing: It’s always best to choose products that have been third-party tested to ensure safety and quality, as well as the accuracy of the label. It may be especially important for competitive athletes to choose products that carry the Informed Choice Trusted by Sport and the Informed Sport seal, which verify that a product is free of substances banned in professional sports. Researchers think that whey protein may help reduce LDL cholesterol and other blood lipids by decreasing fat absorption in the digestive tract and stimulating enzymes involved in the metabolism of fats.

The sweetener used is a mixture of sucralose and acesulfame potassium. The latter is about 200 times sweeter than sugar and though controversial in some circles, appears to have no negative effects at low levels. Ingredients may vary depending on flavour - Protein Blend ( Whey Protein Isolates* , [Contains Emulsifier: Soy Lecithin] , Whey Protein Concentrate* , Whey Peptides*) , Flavorings , Cookie Biscuit Crumbs , Wheat Flour , Sugar , All-Vegetable Shortening , Reduced Fat Cocoa Powder , Salt , Raising Agent [Sodium Bicarbonate]) , Salt , Stabilizers (Carrageenan , Guar Gum) , Sweeteners (Sucralose , Acesulfame Potassium) , Enzyme Complex (Amylase , Protease , Cellulase , Beta-D-Galactosidase , Lipase) There’s also some research that suggests grass-fed protein may help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease because it appears to have higher amounts of omega-3 fatty acids, but more research on these benefits is needed. The above information is based on the Double Rich Chocolate flavour. It is worth noting that the nutritional content of each flavour differs slightly, as well as the number of servings per container. ON Gold Standard whey powder comes in two versions – the original 100% whey and the 100% isolate. The original formula consists of a blend of the isolate, concentrate and peptides whereas the isolate formula only contains whey isolate.

The main protein ingredient in 100% Gold Standard Whey is whey protein isolate, for better mixability and absorption. With an instantized formula that mixes easily and tastes delicious, try mixing one scoop with your oatmeal, yogurt, muffins, pancake and other recipes. Whey protein is a supplement ideal for aiding muscle maintenance and improving muscle growth and repair. Whilst it shouldn’t be used as a protein substitute, whey protein can help you to increase your protein intake and get the most out of your workouts. Those who partake in resistance training with free weights such as dumbbells and kettlebells will typically require more protein to accommodate the extra strain they put on the muscles. How to Use ON Gold Standard Whey

The debate regarding how much protein to take is still on. To help you better understand your requirements, Fitness Savvy has produced a unique protein intake calculator. The primary ingredient in ON Gold Standard Whey is whey protein isolate– the purest form of whey protein on earth. As you would expect, this is a costly ingredient, which shows that no expense was spared in manufacturing this super protein shake.If you find that whey-based protein powders are too difficult to digest, leading to bloating or gas when consumed, try a brown rice-based protein powder or vegan powder instead. Whey comes in four main forms: concentrate, isolate, native and hydrolysate. Concentrate and isolate whey are the most commonly found forms in quality protein powders. If you’re not sure how you should incorporate whey protein into your diet or how much you should be consuming, consider working with a registered dietitian. They can help answer any questions you have about dietary supplements and can help with goals related to sports performance, weight loss, and more. Which protein powder is the highest quality? Protein powders are made from various protein sources, including animal products such as whey and casein from cow’s milk, and eggs, as well as from plant sources like brown rice, hemp, and peas. Ingredients may slightly vary from one flavour to another but many of the powders also have lactase added. This digestive enzyme breaks down lactose, making the powder easier to digest for those that have issues with milk. Lecithin is used to improve mixability – which, whilst not strictly necessary, is pretty useful.
