Authenticity Tips FILL SIZE

Due to vacuum packing the tub may appear to be two-thirds full when opened. This is normal as the powder settles and does not impact on or decrease the weight or number of serves listed on the label.

NECKBAND

In order to conform to the direction of our sustainability policy and goals, we have decided to remove this part of the packaging. Packaging may vary for a certain period of time as this change takes into effect.

VACUUM SEAL

Optimum Nutrition protein tubs have a cardboard vacuum barrier that helps hold powder in place during shipping. This gloss white protective disk should be stuck to top of the tub.

BATCH NUMBER AND DATE

Every Optimum Nutrition product will display a printed Batch Number and Date. The Best Before Date and Batch Codes are located on the side of the tub or the rear of the large bags.

SCOOP

Gold Standard 100% Whey tubs (UK & EU) now contain a clear plastic scoop. There is no branding on this.

*Due to a recent changeover we added a clear plastic scoop. You may still find gold scoops in your tubs in the short term.

TUB DESIGN

Gold Standard 100% Whey Tubs (UK and EU) have a circular indentation on the bottom. There is also a line running through the middle.

What is protein?

Protein is made up of chains of 20 different amino acids, split into 9 essential amino acids, which cannot be made by the body and need to be eaten from food and 11 non-essential amino acids which the body can make.

Why is protein important for you?

Protein is an essential nutrient that we can’t live without it. We are literally made of protein, you need it for healthy skin, hair, nails, organs, bones, and muscle, it supports our movement, feeds your immune system and so much more.

Why Gold Standard 100% Whey?

Optimum Nutrition is the World’s #1 Sports Nutrition brand.* We have been trusted for over 35 years, and conducted over 100k quality and safety checks last year in our own production facilities^.

Whey protein will make me bulky?

False. This is totally untrue, your genetics and your strength training programme dictates how much muscle you build, protein only supports this training.

Whey protein is bad for my health?

False. There is absolutely no evidence that whey protein causes any negative health effects in healthy adults. Remember, whey protein comes from cheese making and is a food.
