Thorne Whey Protein Isolate vs Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey

Buy Thorne Whey Protein Isolate if you want a lean, easy-to-digest isolate with third-party sport certification and a short ingredient list. Buy Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey if you want more protein per serving, more flavors and a larger tub for everyday training. Thorne leans on purity and NSF Certified for Sport; Gold Standard leans on a whey isolate/concentrate blend, 24 g protein and 5.5 g BCAAs. Owners rate both well, with Thorne slightly higher on ratings and Gold Standard praised for mixability and flavor range.

• Choose the Thorne Whey Protein Isolate if you are a tested athlete or a label-conscious adult who wants a certified, low-sugar isolate with natural sweeteners.
• Choose the Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard if you train often, want more protein and BCAAs per scoop, and value a wide flavor choice in a large tub.
