Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey vs Premier Protein 100% Whey Powder
Gold Standard is the better all-round whey for lifters: 24 g protein from an isolate-concentrate blend, Informed Choice tested, and a long track record with 4.5 stars across 434 ratings. Premier Protein gives you 30 g protein per scoop with 1 g sugar and a creamier chocolate milkshake taste, but only 17 servings per tub and no third-party testing claim. Pick Gold Standard for training and recovery; pick Premier Protein if you want more protein per scoop and a sweeter shake.
- Choose the Gold Standard if you train hard, want a tested whey blend with more servings per tub, and prefer a straightforward chocolate that mixes clean.
- Choose the Premier Protein if you want 30 g protein and 1 g sugar per scoop in a creamier chocolate milkshake flavor for breakfast or snacks.
