Gold Standard 100% Whey is Optimum Nutrition's flagship whey powder, built on whey protein isolate as the main ingredient with concentrate and peptides blended in. Each serving delivers 24 g of protein, 5.5 g of naturally occurring BCAAs and 11 g of EAAs, with low fat and carbs for a protein powder. It is the benchmark most other whey powders are judged against, and reviewers consistently rate its mixability and flavor highly. It suits lifters and everyday gym-goers who want a fast-digesting protein for recovery, though anyone wanting a pure isolate or a plant-based option should look elsewhere.
