100 Whey Protein Gold Standard is one of the best Whey Proteins on the market in my opinion. The name is actually “Optimum 100% Whey Protein” and this Whey Protein has won the Supplement Of The Year and Protein Powder Of The Year awards for 4 years in a row (2005, 06, 07, and 08). I am not sure yet if this also happened for 2009 as I am lacking behind in some research for several reasons, but even if it would not have won the awards for 2009, if a Whey Protein wins for 4 years in a row you can rest assured that you have picked a great protein powder. Optimum Nutrition, the maker of this protein is known for pushing up the standards in regards to quality and effectiveness and is a market leader accordingly.
I have to say that the proprietary formula of 100 Whey Protein Gold Standard contains Microfiltered Whey Protein Isolates, Ion-Exchange Whey Protein Isolates, Ultrafiltered Whey Protein Concentrate, and HydroWhey Hydrolyzed Whey Peptides. The result is a protein with reduced amounts of fat and cholesterol as well as reduced levels of lactose and several other carbs. For me this means whenever I take this protein it will do a great job in helping my muscles to refuel and to get the important ingredients that help to gain more muscle. I am a runner and besided training for running it is important for me to have a strong core as – blieve it or not – long distance runners without a strong core will always lack the power that other runners have. Of course I rather run during my workouts and do less indoor stuff like pushing weights or so. But since I have to do those parts as well, it is great to have a reliable “partner” in Optimum 100% Whey Protein” (100 Whey Protein Gold Standard).
My favorite flavor is “Cookies & Cream”, but “French Vanilla Crème” is also pretty good.
