Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Powder, Double Rich Chocolate, 2.27 kg — 24 g per scoop, fast-absorbing

Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey is a fast-absorbing whey protein powder that delivers 24 g of all-whey protein per serving with naturally occurring BCAAs to support recovery and strength goals.

This five-pound Double Rich Chocolate tub uses whey protein isolate as the primary ingredient alongside ultrafiltered whey concentrate to provide a high-protein, low-fat option for post-workout nutrition or everyday protein boosts. The powder is instantized for quick mixing in water or milk, and each scoop supplies about 24 grams of complete whey protein and roughly 5.5 grams of naturally occurring branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs). With decades of industry presence, Optimum Nutrition positions this formula as a dependable choice for athletes and active people seeking convenient, high-quality protein.

How quickly does Gold Standard 100% Whey mix and absorb?

The formula is instantized so it dissolves easily in a shaker or blender and produces a smooth shake without long clumps. Because whey protein isolate and concentrates are fast-digesting proteins, this powder is suitable for occasions when you want protein delivered relatively quickly after exercise.
