What Makes Gold Standard Different?

Whey Protein Isolate (WPI)
Whey Protein Isolate is the primary ingredient in Gold Standard 100% Whey. WPI undergoes additional filtration to remove much of the fat and lactose, resulting in a fast-digesting, high-quality protein source that's ideal after training or whenever you need to increase your daily protein intake.

Whey Protein Concentrate
Whey Protein Concentrate complements the isolate, contributing to the product's smooth texture, rich flavour and complete amino acid profile while providing excellent everyday value.

Hydrolysed Whey Peptides
Hydrolysed whey has been partially broken down into smaller protein fragments, allowing for rapid digestion and absorption as part of your post-workout nutrition.

Naturally Occurring BCAAs
Every serve naturally provides approximately 5.5g of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), including leucine, isoleucine and valine, which play an important role in muscle protein synthesis.

Instantised for Easy Mixing
Gold Standard mixes effortlessly in a shaker bottle or glass, delivering a smooth, consistent texture without excessive clumping.
