Whey protein Isolates are 90% pure protein by weight. They are the purest and most expensive form of whey protein that exists. That’s why they are the first ingredients you read on the 100% Whey Gold Standard label. By using Whey Protein Isolates as our primary protein source, we’re able to pack 24 grams of the purest, muscle-building protein per serving, with a lot less of the fat, cholesterol, lactose, and other stuff that you can do without. There’s no question this is the standard by which other whey proteins are measured.
• 24 g of pure, unadulterated whey protein per serving
• More Whey Protein Isolates (WPI) – the purest source of whey protein available
• Over 4 g of glutamine precursors and more than 5 g of BCAAs
• Includes Hydrowhey, lactase, and Aminogen
• Instantized to mix easily and completely
Also available in a Natural version - no artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners.
NOTE: Only those products listed with "Natural" in their product name contain all natural ingredients.

I'm going to make an educated guess and say that this protein is probably one of the most popular whey proteins being sold today - and with good reason. It's a simple formula of concentrate/isolate protein. It tastes good. It mixes easily (trust me, others don't). It's reasonably priced. I've seen everyone from bodybuilders to boxers supplementing with this brand. The truth is that pure whey is relatively easy to cull from milk, and it is relatively easy to maintain good quality, so the production costs are not very high. By its very nature it is not an incredibly difficult or technical process. This makes you wonder why a thousand other brands are marketing their whey as "pharmaceutical grade" and charging twice as much. 100% NATURAL Whey Protein is a good value.

I've been using this product for a decade. While other products often clump up or overly thicken unless a blender is employed, Optimum Nutrition's proteins dissolve even under the mere persuasion of a spoon in a glass. Vanilla tastes great with OJ or milk, chocolate works great with water or milk (and I sometimes add fortified peanut butter too for a taste treat) Great product and the best value for your dollar, too. A one-two punch that can't be beat.
I drink this everyday with soy milk and a few pieces of frozen fruit, holds my hunger away for about 3 hours. No after taste and the flavor is good, like it better than the vanilla. I do not like chocolate so wouldn't even try that.

Great product, faster results than others I have tried. More protein, less fat and calories per serving than others as well. Highly suggest trying this product. Also Netrition rocks! Great service, fast shipping. Thanks!
This is the most selling, best protein powder out there.
Having used all of the flavors
highly recommend: banana cream, caramel toffe fudge (little bit aftertaste though but my favorite), double rich chocolate, extreme milk choc., cookies n cream
for vanilla lovers vanilla ice cream and french vanilla are both amazing
strawberry tastes weak, orange cream is not good.
rocky road is disgusting. I could not still understand who would want that bitter taste.
Best price for protein powder!
Mixes well, tastes excellent and smooth, very little clumps with a shaker.
With 22 Amino Acids included, how can you go wrong? I have noticed gains from this and this is my 2nd purchase.
Great product. I've been using this for a while and it's a great protein supplement. You definitely feel full after drinking a serving of this which is a great aspect as it curbs your after workout cravings. My favorite flavor is Vanilla Ice Cream.
The best price and taste for whey protein. Compared to a shake given to me from a nutritionist this was almost the exact same ingredients at a fraction of the cost.
