Protein Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Standard - reviews

As we know, protein is protein. In a narrower sense, a protein food supplement. The sports nutrition market offers many varieties of protein supplements from a large number of manufacturers. Many enthusiasts who want to buy protein are not inclined to trust advertising materials and are skeptical of manufacturers' descriptions. They are most interested in protein reviews from specific consumers. In fact, among the huge variety of texts found on the Internet, the most worthy of attention are analytical reviews from qualified specialists, medical reports and information provided by manufacturers. Consumer reviews, due to their subjectivity and episodic nature, cannot provide an adequate picture, especially since each product can affect different individual organisms differently.

When choosing a protein, rely on the opinion of experts

Unfortunately, we have to admit that most reviews are written by simply illiterate people, which makes it impossible to understand what they actually meant. The following phrases are often found:

“The consumption of my acquaintances who play sports many times exceeded my needs as an ordinary person.”

It is clear that such reviews should be skipped immediately, they are of no use. Or a conversation in the style of “what to drink after training – whey prot or isolate?” – “drink isolate, the degree of purification is better than whey” – “you suckers, isolate is whey!” etc. in the same vein. If people don’t know that isolate can be not only whey protein, but also soy protein or some other protein isolate, then what good can they hear from them?

Basically, consumers evaluate the product based on the criteria of taste and healthiness, as well as the absence of digestive problems. It is clear that all these are exclusively subjective assessments, which nevertheless could be taken into account if they were at least somewhat continuous and widespread. But if a popular product from a well-known manufacturer in a large online store has accumulated only 15-20 reviews over several years, what kind of representativeness can we talk about here?

Tasty doesn't mean healthy

The tendency to evaluate sports nutrition solely on taste is alarming. People don't buy ice cream. It is clear that the taste can be appreciated immediately, and the effectiveness becomes clear after two to three weeks, or even a month of use. And only if you take measurements and cut off the influence of random factors. And not everyone can drink bitter liquor for a whole month. But you should still understand that the effectiveness of the product has nothing to do with taste. Moreover, since it is clear that concentrated additives have a far from ideal taste, the tastier the product is, the higher the content of all kinds of chemicals in it. Moreover, to the detriment of the content of the main substance. Why buy into marketing gimmicks? Isn’t it better to give up a little taste pleasure for the benefit of the whole body? After all, the general principle of sports is that although sitting in front of the TV with chips and beer is more pleasant and tasty, playing sports is healthier.

Types of protein by origin

Let's remember that protein supplements are divided by origin into egg, milk (whey and casein), meat and vegetable (soy, rice, pea, etc.) protein. Each type of raw material has its own biological value index, or, more simply, the degree of protein digestibility, and at the same time the degree to which it satisfies the body’s protein needs. This depends on the amino acid composition of the specific proteins that make up a particular product. Egg and whey proteins have an optimal amino acid composition, and they are also capable of maximally satisfying all the body’s protein needs. Proteins of plant origin (for example, soy) are the least effective due to the reduced content of essential amino acids (lysine, threonine, BCAA), as well as the presence of substances that impede the breakdown and absorption of these proteins, which is why their biological value is determined at 74% . At the same time, a high degree of purification (at the level of an isolate with a protein content above 85%), as well as the combination of several plant proteins with each other, leveling out the deficiencies of their amino acid profile, makes it possible to increase their biological value.

Maxler 100% Whey Protein Ultrafiltration 2270g

DESCRIPTION 100% Whey Protein Ultrafiltration 2270g

MAXLER 100% WHEY ULTRAFILTRATION PROTEIN can be taken by bodybuilders during cutting and when gaining muscle mass. The main advantage of the drug is considered to be a small proportion of fats and carbohydrates and a significant concentration of protein. When taken, protein is rapidly absorbed, so muscle fibers receive the necessary amino acids within half an hour after using a healthy cocktail with proteins.

100 % WHEY ULTRAFILTRATION PROTEIN contains beneficial vitamins and minerals. The following benefits of the dietary supplement can be highlighted:

- significant growth of muscle fibers without the appearance of fat deposits;

— strength parameters increase;

— catabolic processes are restored and suppressed;

— endurance increases during intense training, which increases the body’s performance.

High-quality protein provides good muscle definition and helps maintain muscle mass even during very intense exercise.

A serving of the dietary supplement is twenty-five grams. It contains 98 kilocalories. The proportion of proteins is 18.3 grams, carbohydrates – 3.4 grams, fats – 1.4 grams. In this regard, it is very popular among bodybuilders who train in order to improve their relief. Along with nutrients, the drug contains various flavors, food fillers and colorings.

The products of the German sports nutrition manufacturer Maxler are trusted by many bodybuilders. Studies have confirmed that taking the drug does not lead to any negative consequences for digestion. and does not cause any adverse reactions.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR USE

How much supplement to take each day depends on the athlete's individual protein and calorie needs. It is recommended to stick to one to three servings per day. To prepare the cocktail, pour the mixture with a glass (250 milligrams) of water and skim milk.

The best time to take the drug is sixty minutes before the start of sports activities and immediately after the end of training. On days that are free from physical activity, you need to drink a protein mixture in the morning, as well as between individual meals in the afternoon.

It is recommended to supplement the drug with such agents as L-carnitine, BCAA amino acid complex, creatine monohydrate and other anabolic drugs. Much is determined by the goal that the athlete strives for. The manufacturer recommends that athletes losing weight take protein together with l-carnitine, and those who gain muscle mass take it with Amino BCAA.

Types of protein by absorption rate

Based on the speed of absorption, they distinguish between fast protein (almost always whey), slow (casein) and complex (combinations of whey, egg protein with casein and other components).

According to the degree of purification there are:

• A concentrate is a protein obtained from raw materials (for example, whey) by filtration and then spray-dried (most often) using the method. They write that previously (apparently in ancient times) the protein content in the concentrate was about 40%, and today, as a result of the use of new technologies, it reaches 85%. Protein concentrate is the cheapest type and forms the basis of most supplements sold.
• Isolate is a higher purity protein obtained using methods such as ion exchange, microfiltration, etc. The content of pure protein in it reaches 95% or more. That is, it is really almost pure protein. It contains almost no components such as lactose, fat, cholesterol, etc. Therefore, it is believed that the isolate is not subject to (or partially subject to) contraindications related to the raw protein product.
• A hydrolyzate is also isolated. But this is not so much the degree of purification as the additional processing to which the protein isolate is subjected. The protein molecules in it are already partially destroyed and it is absorbed faster and easier than protein isolate or concentrate.

All this can be protein from any raw material. If the can says “isolate”, this does not mean that it necessarily contains whey protein, and certainly does not mean that it contains 100%.

It may be possible to navigate by the terms “isolate”, “concentrate”, etc. But in my opinion, the composition of a particular protein supplement is much more important. Based on the results of an analysis of the assortment of large online stores selling sports nutrition, it turned out that not everything that says “protein” can be considered as such. Some of these supplements contain 50% protein and 20-30% carbohydrates, which practically means not a protein, but a gainer. Although the packaging says “protein isolate”, “hydrolyzed protein”, “ultrafiltered” and the like blah blah blah. That is, it is quite possible that the total protein is 90% concentrate and 9% isolate (+ 1% hydrolyzate). Moreover, despite the inscription “100% whey protein,” the label below may state “contains milk and soy.” Where does the soy in 100% whey protein come from? He must not be that 100% after all. After all, as 100% you can take not the entire mixture, and not even all the protein in the mixture, but only the main “protein matrix”, which in the whole supplement can be successfully supplemented with a significant piece of soy concentrate and seasoned with maltodextrin. And a naive consumer will see on the can the large letters “100%”, “isolate”, “hydrolyzed”, “whey” - and will think that there really is only one hundred percent pure whey protein. And he’ll be upset when he sees that the belly is growing faster than the bitsukha.

Please note that everything written does not apply to small eateries, but to large stores and leading global manufacturers. They care about their reputation, so they do not allow themselves to deceive customers. And what it says on the can is hydrolyzed 100% whey isolate, it doesn’t mean that the can contains 100% whey and it doesn’t mean that all the whey in it is 100% isolate (or even more so hydrolyzate), but only that protein matrix... blah blah blah. This is what is written here in small letters below, where you forgot to read, or translated incorrectly.

Reviews of the product Trec Nutrition Whey 100 (900 g) package

When choosing a protein, carefully read the composition

And then reviews of 100% whey protein begin in the style: “I bought 100% isolate, I eat absolutely no carbohydrates, why is my belly growing,” or “I bought whey protein, why am I covered in red spots, is it SOY? " Yes, there is soy. For example, in the form of soy lecithin. Read at the bottom with a magnifying glass - it says “contains soy.” And it also says “carbohydrates 7 g, of which sugar 4 g.” Despite the fact that a serving of prota is 30 g. That is, the product contains 23% carbohydrates, of which more than 13% is pure sugar. And you say “belly.” Yes, after such protein, not only your belly will be destroyed, but your ass will also be destroyed, so mom, don’t worry...

Therefore, you don’t need to read reviews about whey protein, but read the manufacturer’s descriptions, and preferably with a calculator in your hands. This is the only way to evaluate its composition and decide for yourself whether you need to buy an imported concentrate from a top manufacturer, which contains 50 to 70% real protein, or is it better to buy a concentrate from a less well-known manufacturer, for example, a domestic one - you will save 30% of your budget and get more protein 10-20%. Yes, of course, it may not be as tasty, but it contains less chemicals and more pure protein. What do you need? Ice cream or muscles?

There is one more nuance here. If your goal is to buy protein to gain muscle mass, then take a closer look at domestic manufacturers. You can even read reviews about this protein for muscle mass (despite what I said above). Just evaluate not the opinions of individual subjects, but their mass, so to speak. That is, if there are 27 negative reviews for the selected protein (meaningful - that is, not just “sucks, it sucks”, but, for example, “after that the prota sat on the jerk for 3 days”, “opened the jar - there is mold inside”, etc. ) and only 2 positive ones (especially if they are in the style of “I liked it - it’s delicious”, or “but it’s cheap!”) - this is a reason to think. And see what they generally write about this company. And if you notice a long trail of scandals trailing behind the manufacturer, and find that the manufacturer relied on mass sales of a cheap product and forgot about quality, you can safely look for another one. I can say for sure that there are manufacturers in our country who think about quality. And that means you can buy excellent quality protein cheaper than imported protein. And reviews of whey protein are usually just hilarious. They show how many people do not even try to understand what they are buying.

Protein Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Standard - reviews

.I bought this for myself a week ago, I haven’t tried sports nutrition before. I train 3 times a week, I drink it an hour before training and immediately after. After the first dose (I stirred one scoop at a time), it didn’t come off for 2 hours. I reduced the dose to one scoop, i.e. half a scoop in an hour and half after training. In the morning, the face was swollen, as if a drunkard had been bitten by bees. The swelling subsided a couple of days after stopping taking it.

The taste is good, but it is not absorbed at all! The first protein that didn't work for me. Apparently it contains too much lactose (sorry, this is not indicated anywhere on the can). Am I the only one who has problems absorbing this product???

Really, how are you all... a description of what food is tasty or not tasty. I’m ready to eat a piece if it’s harmless and helps gain muscle mass! After this protin, acne began to appear on the face and back, which had not been seen before for several years, and I found similar manifestations in others... I am looking for an alternative with a low content of carbohydrates, cholesterol, fats, without soy lecithin, without alpha lipoic acid, dipinitol, 4 -hydroxyisoleucine

Advantages:

No.

Flaws:

Low quality product.

In another pursuit of advertising, I ordered 100% Whey Gold Standard from ON-vanilla, cream. After opening the package, the inside was all covered with powder. I was very disappointed with such a cool company, but they didn’t install a dust filter (guys, this is also a product of manufacturing) and as a result of the temperature difference inside the can, lumps formed on the can, apparently it was all the fault of condensation and had to be thrown in the trash, but before that As soon as I noticed the lumps, I drank a couple of servings. The results completely knocked me out of my wits; it dilutes well in a glass of water, but the taste is reminiscent of diluted milk, in short nothing (the pancreas reacted instantly in the negative direction) the muscles didn’t even fill up after it, although Cellucor had an effect even after taking one serving. ON lives only on advertising We will talk about the products of this company later, in particular about egg prot and omega-3. If you have any questions, ask. I wish you all health and good luck!

General impression:

Lives on advertising.

Advantages:

The amount of protein corresponds to what is stated on the label

Flaws:

The price is unreasonably inflated, there is no feedback for complaints, a sneezing attitude towards customer health, saving on preservatives and dyes

Before that, I worked out without any proteins, but with difficult work I had to change my diet and training schedule. I reluctantly bought this protein, first with the cocoa flavor, I didn’t want to take it because of the little-studied sweetener acesulfame potassium, but I still decided to try it, then when I ran out I went for another can, bought it, but didn’t take into account that the banana flavor uses the cheapest carcinogenic dye, tartrazine, obtained from coal tar waste! I was very upset, having spent 5 thousand I had to pour everything into the toilet. And the most important thing that angers me the most is that the label says that it is made from high-quality ingredients!!! Couldn’t it be possible to give this yellow color with the most beneficial curcumin?! Which I now drink separately to boost testosterone. And which is precisely used as a dye by the manufacturer Myprotein. I switched to Myprotein products, ordered their raw protein without any additives, oh, it’s a pity I didn’t know about it before! The ON company left me with a huge negative after this, they charge more money than anyone else for their products, maybe their protein itself is of high quality, but with such accompanying additives you will grow sores along with your muscles

General impression:

Unjustifiably inflated price, they sneezed on people's health

I drank it for a while and there were side effects, the acne on my temples hurt! But it suited my husband perfectly, but at the current rate it’s not profitable to buy it at all!

Advantages:

No

Flaws:

Described

Back in 2008 I bought 2 bags of ~9kg. It tastes like rubbery plastic powder after Irontek. It's disgusting to drink with water. But don’t throw away 9kg! Somehow with milk. And then the acne popped up. Gradually I started using it and the acne became more numerous. By the end of the second package they were just p... ts. I thought it was a transitional age, but it passed as soon as I switched to multipower. This is the experience...

General impression:

A nightmare or a fake
