Optimum Nutrition (ON) Gold Standard 100% Isolate 1.6 lb, 744 g (Chocolate Bliss), for Muscle Support & Recovery, Vegetarian - 100% Protein from Whey Isolate

Been using for 2 weeks and I see great improvement in my workouts. I have very acne prone skin and so far this has NOT caused any acne or increased body heat. Only disadvantage is there is no unflavored protein which I would choose over Chocolate. But the Chocolate flavor is also awesome. Drink lot of water to remove excess protein from body - this is applicable for any protein powder.

Great Chocolate taste

Texture is good. Feels light on stomach. But too sweet.

Tastes pathetic, not sure if it's genuine or expired. Amazon Customer Care not reachable on this. Date of Mfg shows Nov 2023, date of import Jan 2024, and here is Amazon selling it in March 2025. Overall, pathetic buy.

ON has really good quality of whey protein, as someone who's being using their products for over a year now. Buy the Whey ISOLATE if you're watching calories. If your goal is strength building, then I'd recommend buying the standard Whey GOLD Standard.

I usually order the bigger pack, and if I remember correctly it has an airtight lining below the lid. It was missing in this pack… tastes same but unsure if the product is authentic. Giving them benefit of doubt as the lid had an ON seal. Also the SMS authentication did not work, the website did confirm that it is a genuine product.

I bought this 2 months ago & i waited to give my review so here it goes.It's a good genuine protein supplement, yes i didn't get fake products like others claim in review of it, guess i was lucky. It's bit pricey but it's worth every penny there is another higher version of it and that's a lot expensive & better but here is the catch; you can only drink it once in the day not exceed one scoop or further as mentioned on pack as it's Isolate & non-lactose version.If you want to the one to drink 2 times a day i suggest go for the gold standard one with black & red label pack, you can even drink it if you are hungry and don't want to eat anything else or trying to lose weight. You can also drink that 15mins before sleeping which is very beneficial if you are trying to burn fat while sleeping as it will make sure to activate the metabolism whole night to digest it.

Product : ON brand, Whey Isolate 750 gm black colored bottlePros :Has around 80 gm of whey protein in every 100 gm.Whey Isolate.Cons :No internal ceiling to the black bottle, I was expecting the powder to be capped with a polythene or aluminium foil. But thats ok, no need to worry.Later on, I have purchased Double Chocolate flavour also, after using this Whey Protein Powder for 2.5 months ( 2 different choco flavours ), I have never found even 1% of muscle or 1% increase in energy levels, just waste of my hard earned money. Now I started eating sprouts and saving money too.General Info :I did not get time to verify SMS auth code, I am pending on this :)MFD in USA : Nov 2019, Imported to Mumbai : Jan 2020, EXP : Nov 2021Never mix this powder with hot milk, always mix it when the milk comes down to lower temperature.If you want, you can use honey instead of sugar.Overall Impression ::It did not improve my health after 2.5 months of usage also, and at the same time no side effects found for me, I drink it with Amul Lactose Free milk.
