Instantized to Mix Easily Using Just a Glass and Spoon
Each serving of the world’s best-selling whey protein powder provides 24 grams of high-quality whey protein primarily from Whey Protein Isolate, which has had excess carbohydrates, fat, and lactose ‘isolated’ out using sophisticated filtering technologies. The powder is also instantized for easy mixing using just a glass and spoon. With more than 20 different flavors – including naturally flavored options – there’s no doubt this is the Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein.
PRODUCT AUTHENTICATION TIPS
We know that quality is as important to you as it is to us. Use the tips on this page to help authenticate original ON-made products.
NECK BANDS
Tubs of Gold Standard 100% Whey have a gold hologram seal on the black plastic neck band. Platinum series products have a clear neck band with silver hologram. Other powdered products have either black, silver, or clear plastic neck bands without holograms.
TUB DESIGN
The crease on the bottom of U.S. made tubs of protein is a mold mark from plastic thermoforming. It looks the same on every tub and is normal. Tubs produced in the U.K. have a circular indentation without a line running across the bottom. This is normal for European made tubs.
DATE & BATCH CODES
On the bottom or side of protein tubs you’ll find ink jet printing listing a manufacture date, expiration date and batch code. Powdered products have a 2-year shelf life, so the dates should be 2 years apart. On bottles of capsules, tablets and softgels, the dates and batch code are printed on the side in white.
VACUUM BARRIERS
Under the cap of protein tubs is a cardboard vacuum barrier that helps hold powder in place during shipping. This round disk is not for sanitation and is not glued into place. It is common for the cardboard to stick under the cap. The round seal under the caps of bottles containing capsules, tablets and softgels is glued down and typically won’t stick under the cap.
NEW LOOK, SAME TRUSTED QUALITY
The world’s best-selling whey protein powder has a new look. Because the transition is a process, you may receive either of these designs depending on where or when you purchase. Keep in mind both GOLD STANDARD 100% WHEY label designs are authentic and feature the additional quality markers highlighted on this page.
