GREAT! Subscribe and get it for 35 dollars a month! by Arthur E. Rodriguez  5 Stars
November 22, 2009
I ordered this 2lb jar to see if I liked the taste enough to use Amazon's subscription service for the 5lb product. In a little over a week of changing my dietary habits to multiple small meals (5-6, at least two or more are just a protein shake) spread out every 3 hours, while exercising daily, I have noticed myself being more energetic, less fatigued in the mornings and a loss of two pounds. Not bad for a weeks work. The best thing is, is that I'm not hungry most of the day. Keeping your meals spread out to a 3hr max keeps your metabolism working continuously and keeps you feeling satisfied all day.
But about the product, Its mixability is superb, its taste is subtle enough to mix with water or milk without it being too sweet. In water it taste like Mexican Horchata, in Vanilla soy milk it taste like a true vanilla shake. Whey contains the best protein for your body, meaning your body absorbs it and utilizes it more so than other types of protein (ie. soy).
For weight loss and muscle gain, this is a no brainer since about a third of your daily calories should come from protein.

O.N. Gold Standard Whey Protein by pointguardpower  4 Stars
November 22, 2009
I bought the Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey, Double Rich Chocolate, 5.15-Pound Tub and found the value of this product very good compared to many other retailers. I used this product for about a month (3x daily), using it to supplement my regular diet and workouts throughout the week. I have gained 3-4 Ibs. in that time period. I was expecting better results with this product. Here is my disclaimer however, I weight trained (6x/week) during the entire course of taking this product but did not incorporate any cardio workouts to supplement my weight training. This may have had an impact on weight gained (cardio work is an important aspect of weight training due to the loss of fat that occurs from it). I was hoping to add more healthy weight than just 3-4 Ibs. But please take into consideration your body type, everyone is unique and each person must evaluate his/her make-up when it comes to weight training, cardio work, and weight gain/loss.

tastes like chocolate milk by Alex Johnson 4 Stars
November 19, 2009
I put like 1 and a half scoops in a glass of milk and it tastes good. This product is very helpful for my protein needs. I'm just a little worried about all that aspartame and artificial sweeteners. I'd gladly drink it without that stuff even if it tasted bad because if you have the discipline to work hard you should have it for eating healthy.

artificial flavor is so obvious by Physical/Massage Therapist (Los Angeles, CA)  3 Stars
November 15, 2009
Pricing is not bad for this protein powder but the taste is so obviously artificial. If you can't endure bad taste, beware. I trust that the whey protein I'm getting is enough for my daily needs. Aside from the taste, I could not complain anymore.

Sometimes slower is better - especially when it comes to the rate of protein digestion. While rapid protein absorption is desirable immediately before or after exercise, delayed release is probably more beneficial throughout the remainder of the day.
Casein proteins are pH sensitive and gel in the acidic environment of the stomach. As a result, it can take more than twice as long for caseins to be broken-down into their amino acid subcomponents than whey and other proteins. Because of...
