What are you looking at as a Gold Standard? The difference between this product and protein products and bulking products is that it is a lean weight A lot of wholesalers give us sales if we buy a large amount at once. Many sellers (including myself) will discount the price according to the price they pay for the product.
No gas with vanilla custard, and I give it to my 98 year old mother who weights 80 pounds because it is a great supplement! The fact that she is in a wheelchair would help her to understand. It took me just 10 pounds to finish it. It is highly recommended that you drink WATER since raw protein can make you feel queasy. Adding ice cream to it is also a must I love this one) ! This is really good stuff. I have approved the document! She is in great shape, and at the very least he does routine blood work on her.

Selected User Reviews For Optimum Nutrition Pro Gainer Weight Gainer Protein Powder,Double Rich Chocolate, 5.09 Pounds (Packaging May Vary)
In spite of the fact that I have tried all three flavors, I will not be purchasing this product again because the samples showed an extremely low level of toxic heavy metals under the Clean Label Project's tests. This is something I just discovered, and seeing how many products in this category do not perform as well as they should is terrifying.
The first ingredient you should look for in a protein powder is the first thing to consider. It's maltodextrin at the top of the list. understandable that this is a definite gainer, but it comes at a cost diet-wise. This is a carb filler with a high glycemic index and a significant portion of the calories come from this source. Despite the fact that your body absorbs it quickly and spikes your insulin levels enough to be anticatabolic, it would be easy to replace it with an alternative whole food carb source. If the muscle tissue doesn't require glycogen then maltodextrin can be stored by the body as fat. Consider also the serving size. From an appearance point of view, one heaping scoop of this might seem reasonable, but get your kitchen scale and you'll find that it takes closer to 2 mostly full scoops to equal an actual serving of 165 grams of this. I was getting a portion of the bag that lasted longer than the 28 servings claimed, so I put it on the scale and found I was getting maybe 75% of the serving that I thought I was consuming. If you eat a fruit for carbs, and you use ON's whey protein and casein protein, both of which are excellent options, you're better off. Do not consume the entire serving of this at once if you've decided to buy it as a shortcut. To take the full serving of this, just take 83 grams (30 minutes ahead of working out). Immediately after working out, take the remaining 83 grams to complete the In contrast to simply smashing everything afterward, it works better this way.
It was almost a lifesaver for me to purchase this product. Since I started using it 10 years ago, I haven't stopped using it. My health took a turn for the worse over a decade ago, and I lost The height and weight I used to have were in the mid-160s before I became ill. I finally reached the upper 120s when I was told by my doctor that I should try drinking gainer shakes to gain mass, although he did not specify this specific product. A few days ago, my brother and I discussed my weight loss dilemma- It was my father-in-law who introduced me to this product. I am so glad The smoothies tend to be thicker and sugarier than fruit juice and I usually add a scoop of ice cream to mine. The ice cream makes the drink a little colder for me, but makes it more pleasant to drink with plain water. Regardless, this stopped my weight from skyrocketing and I was gradually pushed into the low 130s, which was an important step in feeling better after that, I joined a gym and began working out with weights at least three times a week for an hour each time, in addition to doing some weight lifting at home between those times. After about a year of weight lifting exercises and using this product twice a day I was able to lift my weight into the mid 140s. Having reached my weight goal of 140 lb 3 years later, I decided to reduce my serving size to one per The weight stayed mostly the same for me as I always monitored it. A year and a half ago, I reduced the amount I used to a half serving, six days per Exercise continues to be a part of my daily life at the gym and at home as As a result of inhaling the reduced half serving of gainer with my usual scoop of ice cream in the blender, muscle strength in my upper body has increased especially in my arms, biceps, triceps and pecs. It has been a great joy to note that my weight over the last six months has been lifted to almost the level I had before The weight of 160 pounds is currently the mark I'm at. Now that I have been using this for 10 years straight plus exercising for nearly that long, I'm smiling at the results I have had over that time. But I should first give credit to my doctors who suggested I try something like this many years ago. In the middle of the afternoon, once I finish my gym or home workouts and somewhere between lunch and dinner, I drink mine. In the beginning, when I was drinking two servings a day, I did notice that it took away my appetite a bit if I drank it too close to dinner. Since a half-serving reduces appetite loss so much, it is no longer a concern. What is the likelihood of me ceasing to use it? Not just yet, but perhaps someday. believe there is a correlation between using this after a workout and building your muscle tissue, so I may be willing to use it at half strength for the rest of my life. Add a few scoops of ice cream in the blender to make it even creamier and tastier (it will also add more calories and calcium, I think). In my opinion, the double chocolate is the best, and adding mint ice cream is the perfect addition. In general, I have found this product to have a great taste, even when I am just using plain water without anything else.
However, the servings are unrealistic. I discovered that my review is being hidden, so I have given it Please note There was a 10 lb bag available for purchase. Although some have mentioned difficulty in opening it, it wasn't an issue for me. To tear the seal, slide the e-zipper open, make a small incision on the seal, and tear it. These lines help determine the direction of the tearing of the seal. Please note I ordered chocolate, and I can honestly say that it tasted just like a chocolate milkshake. Some people may not like sweets, so I can understand how this could upset them. Also, I prefer to use a ninja blender instead of a shaker bottle, since it creates a foamy consistency This texture has a soft feel. Please note I have heard multiple complaints about the serving size. The largest one is that there is only one heaping scoop (165g) per serving. Please see attached picture. I was still able to create a large scoop that was much smaller than what I had planned by 10%, and a modest scoop was way short by about In fact, to get 165 g of this powder, you will need to fill a ninja bottle almost completely(pictured Following the instructions, you may mix it with 16 ounces of liquid, but your mix is sure to be too thick.
The product was great when they were selling the 10lb bag for $63ish, but now it is $89? The price increase here is definitely unbelievable, specifically a 41% increase, I had never heard of that before. Considering the amount of food you are getting per serving, is not worth much as you are really getting a scoop and a half, making this bag run out quickly. giving the math a second look, the price increase to $90 for the 10lb bag only makes sense if you take into account inflation. If you purchase two 5lb buckets for $40 each, then you can store 10lbs of powder for $80. Or if you purchase a 10lb bag for $90, you will only receive each bucket? purchasing in bulk, the price per ounce should be lower the bigger the bulk purchase is.
". There is no way that the scoop provided comes close to the 165 grams that one serving is supposed to contain. It was tough to scoop up as much as I could, but no matter how many times I tried, I only managed to get If they provided a scooper that provided 82, that would make more sense. Change the label to read Serving Size 2 scoops and increase the size by 5 grams. Even though the scooper size is small, it still tastes good and mixes well. I would have rated this product 5 stars, but I had to take a star off because of the scooper size.
