What are the key ingredients in Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey?

Whey Protein Isolate

Whey protein isolates are the most pure and potent form of whey protein in Optimum nutrition. Protein isolate goes through a more thorough process to refine it; this is why it generally has a higher protein consistency with lower levels of fat, carbs and lactose. Optimum Nutrition has 24 grams of protein per serving, more than enough to give you the protein boost you need to reach your goals

Whey Protein Concentrate

Whey protein concentrate goes through a similar process to whey protein isolates. However, it isn’t as refined which means the protein has a slower digestion rate to that of isolate protein. The combination of Whey Protein Concentrate and Isolate equals the perfect blended protein.

What amino acids are in Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey?
