The read
What's actually worth knowing.
- Each scoop has 24 grams of protein and includes naturally occurring amino acids that your body needs for muscle repair, so you're getting a complete protein source rather than an incomplete one.
- It's very low in sugar, carbs, and fat compared to many protein powders, which makes it useful if you're trying to build lean muscle without extra calories.
- The powder mixes easily in a shaker bottle or blender, so you can make a shake quickly after a workout without lumps or clumping.
As of Sep 1, the Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein is overpriced at $53.70 — versus a $41.56 typical price and a $12.47 12-month low, based on Amazon's own price history.
