    5.0 out of 5 stars Stuff works great
    Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2013

    I used this stuff a while back when I used to workout a lot more. I stopped working out for about a year, and picked it up again. Chocolate flavor tastes absolutely fantastic. Not a fan of the strawberry. This will make you a bit burpy and fart a bit more than usual, but not nearly as bad as Muscle Milk. No creatine either. Also, when I first started using this product, my movements were a little watery... but after a week were okay. Definitely fills you up and wakes you up too... I use whole milk with this, cause I'm on the thinner side. Be careful though, if you don't run between work outs you will see some weight increase. I used this for about a month without running and gained around 10 lbs. I like to use this as a breakfast replacement, but I've read and seen others use it after workouts. Either way works to be honest.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great!
    Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2016

    As a fitness enthusiast and a Science guy, I am always curious to find the real value of a supplement. What works and what does not work. More importantly, I believe the analysis of a product should be based on strong scientific knowledge base, combined with good old fashion practical use of the product, and only then one should come down to the final conclusion.

    This product review and analysis was conducted based on 3 parameters

    A. Constituents: What comes in the box, the real value of the product
    B. Assimilation: How does this product goes down in your system, how much of it will your body assimilate
    C. Usability : Long term usability and and effects.

    I believe this is one of the best supplements available in the market today. The Question is Why?

    1. The Quality of protein. Since its manufactured by Glanbia (who owns Optimum nutrition), this product is coming straight from the manufacturer. This is a BIG factor, 90% of the protein supplement companies source their raw materials from third parties, often importing them from third world countries.

    100 grams of Whey protein isolate from one source is NOT equal to the 100 gram Whey protein isolate from another. Inferior resources usually have high level of Heavy metals and cattle Hormones. This has been elucidated from recent tests and published widely in the consumer reports. ON aced this report with minimum levels of such harmful residues. Reason is simple, they make their own whey in a plant which has to abide all regulations under US law.

    Just for the point of reference. I am from India, and therefore know first hand how many poorly regulated cheese plants export their whey to Europe and US. So make sure your Whey protein is coming from Whey extracted in the US!!

    The Additives

    2. Ideally, I will prefer the protein powder with no artificial sweetener. But lets face it, such a product will be hard to sell. However, Golds whey keep artificial sweeter to minimum. If you check Bodybuilding.com forums, lots of consumer complain that its not sweet enough. I request all such folks to realise that is actually good for them, if you feel this product is not sufficiently sweet for you. Its better you use lesser amount of hydrant (Milk, water, juice etc), or add a tiny bit of Honey.

    The Profile- The Myth about Isolate vs a Blend

    3. This might be hard for some people to digest. However, the truth is 96% people who use Whey supplements, will have no additional benefits of taking an Isolate vs a Blend. Please note, when I use the word blend, I mean a product lile Golds whey which is well balanced with Whey isolate and Whey Concentrate. (not any junk product form the market). If you take the blend, you might get 1 gram of extra fat or 2 grams of extra carbs which is absolutely nothing. You can burn this by adding 1.5 minute to your jog routine or walking for 2-3 minutes. You will get the same result and effect as the Isolate, so its not worth spending extra refined Isolate. The Isolate rumor is just a Hype created by the supplement industry. I will repeat this again, if your blend is as good as Golds whey i.e you are getting 24 grams per 30 gram scoop, you don't need an Isolate.

    Who all comprise the 4% population who can benefit from an Isolate. First people who are extremely lactose Intolerant. I have used the word extremely since all good products add enzymes to digest the little amount of lactose residue in the supplement. Lactose is not a a bad thing, its simply the milk sugar. So if you are highly allergic to Lactose, Isolate will help (they have negligible levels of lactose)

    Second tier of people who can benefit from Isolates are professional athletes who are pepping up for an upcoming competition. This competitive set is consuming 5-8+ scoops of Whey protein daily and therefore will benefit from reduction in additional fat or carbs.

    4. Why go for Whey protein blend when you have specialized protein powders with Whey,egg and Casein.

    Its simple science, Whey is just better with the best Biological value*. This means that your body will better absorb and use the protein source from Whey more than any other source, therefore no wastage. Egg is also a great resource, which is just behind Whey. However in real world it lags behind Whey substantially, even the delayed absorption rate cannot compensate much. Scientifically it has been proven that Whey is just better, since it doesn't tax your digestive processes as much as an egg protein.

    Question of Casein:
    Its true that Casein has an edge when it comes to delayed absorption. Its anti-catabolic properties and slow absorption makes it an ideal night time protein. This said, its best when you take Casein in concentrated from, i.e. if you need Casein, take only Caesin, do not mix it with Whey... Why do I say this, Its a big topic based on metabolism response(will add a different thread later). One last thing 24 grams of Whey protein is NOT equal to 24 grams of Casein as the Biological value of Casein is lower than Whey.However Caesin does have its own benifit of delayed response, provided you actually need it.

    *Biological Value: Biological value (BV) is a measure of the proportion of absorbed protein from a food which becomes incorporated into the proteins of the organism's body.

    Whey protein concentrate: 104
    Whole egg: 100
    Cow milk: 91
    Beef: 80
    Casein: 77
    Soy: 74

    Last Thoughts:
    Always keep a note of how much protein you are consuming from Supplements Vs straight from the food. Ideally one should keep protein sources from supplements under 25%, but if your life style is demanding and you are unable to get hold of good meals rich in protein, you should always keep your protein dependency under 50%. In layman terms, for most of us who are looking for fitness, keep it not more than 2 scoops/day. For those who really pump some heavy Iron keep it upto than 3 scoops/day. (let me know if you wish to know the science behind this)

    Okay, the shake tastes good, mixes easily, and works well. I would suggest only taking a half serving (1.5 scoops) since you can't really process 60g of protein in one sitting.

    I definitely did notice when I did the same workout (and took no shake) the next week and felt really really sore in the morning. I also noticed that if I take it any time except directly after (within minutes) of my workout, it doesn't work as well.

    I personally haven't had any sleep trouble / bowel issues with this and it seems to be working properly.

    Hope this helps

    I'm in my 60s and well beyond my gym rat days (although I was at best a gym mouse back in the day). I read about this product in Men's Health and bought it because (1) it's pretty low carb and (2) protein is really good for your liver (and mine has been somewhat, uh, abused over the years) and (3) it tastes really good. I use it with Wally World unsweetened original almond milk which is low in calories and carbs but with one scoop of this, it tastes like whole chocolate milk. Really.

    I am a 66 years young female. I work out at the gym, lifting weights, for one hour three days a week. I have one scoop mixed with water before my workouts and two scoops mixed with water after my workouts. While I can not swear the Whey Protein is making me stronger or more muscular, I do know it is an easy, delicious way to get lots of protein. I have tried it with milk also and it is also good, but I prefer water.
