Fuel your gains and accelerate post-workout recovery with the world’s most trusted benchmark in protein—Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey. Formulated for gym-goers, athletes, and hard-training individuals across New Zealand, this gold-standard blend delivers 24 grams of premium, fast-acting protein per serving to help you hit your daily macro goals with ease. Whether shaken up immediately post-training or stirred into your morning oats, it provides the ultimate daily foundation to build, repair, and maintain lean muscle.

Key Benefits & Features

• 24g Ultra-Pure Protein: Formulated to drive lean muscle recovery, repair damaged tissue, and support optimal muscle protein synthesis.

• Whey Isolate Primary Ingredient: Micro-filtered Whey Protein Isolate (WPI) leads the formula to minimise excess fats, carbohydrates, and sugars.

• 5.5g Naturally Occurring BCAAs: Packed with essential Branched Chain Amino Acids (Leucine, Isoleucine, and Valine) to preserve lean muscle and reduce soreness.

• Instantised for Effortless Mixing: Blends instantly using just a shaker cup or glass and spoon—leaving zero clumping or chalky residue.

• Banned Substance Tested: Certified by Informed-Choice, providing drug-tested Kiwi athletes with complete peace of mind during competition.

How It Works

Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey combines three distinct dairy protein sources: Whey Protein Isolate (WPI), Whey Protein Concentrate (WPC), and Hydrolysed Whey Peptides. Cross-flow micro-filtered WPI acts as the primary ingredient, isolating pure protein while filtering out unnecessary fats, cholesterol, and excess lactose.

This fast-digesting triad rapidly shuttles essential amino acids directly into starved muscle fibres when your body needs them most. Combined with over 4g of naturally occurring glutamine and glutamic acid per serving, it helps prevent muscle breakdown, reduces post-exercise fatigue, and keeps your physical performance at its peak.

Recommended Use

Mix 1 rounded scoop (approx. 29.4g to 30g) with 200–250ml of cold water, low-fat milk, or your favourite beverage in a shaker cup. Shake or stir vigorously for 20–30 seconds until completely smooth.

• Post-Workout: Consume within 30 to 60 minutes post-training to maximize muscle recovery.

• Daily Protein Boost: Enjoy first thing in the morning or between main meals to achieve your daily protein target.
