Whey Protein Isolates

The Bigger Picture of Whey
Whey Protein Isolates are 90% pure protein by weight.  They are the purest and most expensive form of whey protein that exists.  That's why they are the first ingredients you read on the 100% Whey Gold Standard™ label.  By using Whey Protein Isolates as our priamry protein source, we're able to pack 24 grams of the purest, muscle-building protein per serving, and a lot less of the fat, cholesterol, lactose and other stuff you can do without.  There's no question this is the standard by which other whey proteins are measured.

The Advanced Gold Standard Whey Protein Blend:
100% Whey Gold Standard™ is made of an exclusive blend of:

• Microfiltered Whey Protein Isolates
• Ion-Exchange Whey Protein Isolates
• Ultrafiltered Whey Protein Concentrate
• Hydrowhey™ Hydrolyzed Whey Peptides

Spoon Stirred:  100% Whey Gold Standard™ is Instantized.  That means if you forgot your shaker cup or don't have time to get out the blender, you can just add one rounded scoop of 100% Whey Gold Standard™ to a glass filled with 6-8 oz of water, nonfat milk or your favorite beverage.  Then mix it up with a spoon.  Stir for about 20 seconds or until powder is completely dissolved.

Shaker:  Bringing a shaker cup with you to the gym is the best way to get a powerful dose of protein immediately after you workout.  Just add one heaping scoop of Gold Standard™ to your shaker cup and then pour in 6-8 ounces of your preferred beverage.  Cover and shake for 25-30 seconds.  Tip:  Mixing one scoop with 6-8 fl oz of nonfat milk instead of water will give you a thicker creamier shake.

Blender:  Add one rounded scoop of 100% Whey Gold Standard™ to a blender filled with 6 - 8 fl oz of water, nonfat milk or your favorite beverage.  Blend for 20-30 seconds.  Then add 1 or 2 ice cubes and blend for an additional 30 seconds.

Shake up your shake:  By adding a few high-energy ingredients to your shake you can blend up a delicious meal:  try adding fresh or frozen fruits (strawberries, bananas, peaches, etc.), peanut butter, flaxseed oil, unflavored yogurt, coconut, slivered almonds or other ingredients.

Stack Your Shake:  By adding other supplements including creatine, glutamine, taurine (e.g. CTG10) and/or BCAA powders, you can make 100% Whey Gold Standard™ an even more powerful post-workout recovery product.
