I take it 3 times daily: once mid-morning, once after my afternoon core exercise, and once after my 1.5 mile swim. I've seen strong improvements in muscle quantity and tone, and an improvement in the health of my fingernails and cuticles. I had problems after drastically cutting calories to get rid of excess weight: the body likes to burn amino acids before its fat stores because they're easier to convert to glucose. The protein also helps with the gnawing hunger from the dieting. VS Most Liked Negative Review Does not digest well I was so excited when I read all the good reviews about this protein that I couldn't wait to try it.

The taste is not that great but it was tolerable. This did work for recovery but also gave me severe constipation. I tried adding coconut oil to it & taking fiber supplements. Still passing everyday was a struggle. I've tried cheaper Whey proteins that gave me the same trouble. Was so dissapointed that this more expensive one did too.

Comments about Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey, Double Rich Chocolate, 5 lb: This is a great product. I used to use Jay Robb but this is half the price and very similar. I'm a vegetarian and this is a great way to start my day with lots of protein. I put in almond milk with frozen blueberries and I'm good to go, don't get hungry for 5 hours. Pros

Comments about Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey, Double Rich Chocolate, 5 lb: This is by far my favorite protein powder. I like the vanilla flavor best. Its low in fat and cholesteral compaired to most others and a serving is one scoop not 2 like most others. I mix with nonfat milk, a bananna and a spoon full of peanut butter and it tastes great after a workout! Iv been buying this here for years but not sure why DS raised their price on this all of a sudden. Its Cheaper anywhere else! Service and delivery comments: Perfect! Pros
Cons Best Uses Comments about Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey, Double Rich Chocolate, 5 lb: I've tried many protein whey products, and this is the best so far. Most have a chalky, nasty flavor. This one isn't bad at all. Pros

Comments about Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey, Double Rich Chocolate, 5 lb: Don't listen to other reviews, this stuff tastes just fine. I mix 2 scoops, a cup of milk, two handfuls of ice in a blender and it is as good as any I have tried. Since it is "double chocolate", it does have more chocolate than others I've tried. Something to look forward to after a good workout. No artificial aftertaste, but I would appreciate a more natural sweetener on the ingredients list. Also, wait for a promotion/sale and stock up.

Comments about Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey, Double Rich Chocolate, 5 lb: This is bar none the best protein powder on the market. It has all that you need, and none of what you don't need. Don't mess with the pre-made shakes, get this one, mix it with frozen fruit, and enjoy. Low fat, high protein, just awesome. Enjoy! Pros

Comments about Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey, Double Rich Chocolate, 5 lb: the taste is bad, and it is not as thick a shake as the gnc gold whey that ive been using. matter of fact i wouldnt even call it a shake, even with 6oz or less per scoop its still very watery. but then again i dont buy this stuff for the taste. other than that it seems like a good product.
