Here at Fitness ‘n’ Weight we want to take the confusion out of fitness, diet and sports nutrition.

By giving you up to date information and providing you with quality products, we feel that we are with you every step of the way as you achieve your lifestyle and fitness goals.

In Optimum Nutrition’s Gold Standard Whey Protein we believe that we are offering you one of the best protein powders on the market.  It is packed with Whey Isolates that are 90% pure protein by weight. They are the purest and most expensive form of whey protein that exists and the first ingredients you read on the 100% Whey Gold Standard label. This product packs 24g  of the purest, muscle-building protein per serving with an additional 5 grams of BCAAs and 4g of glutamine.

This product is an essential buy for any active individual looking to increase their lean body weight, control body fat and ensure correct sports nutrition both pre and post-workout. It comes in a variety of great tasting flavours, my personal favourite being Rocky Road. Unlike a lot of its competition, Gold Standard Whey mixes extremely well in a blender, bottle blender or even with a spoon.

Gold Standard Whey would also be of use for those trying to lose weight as an extra source of valuable nutrition and vitamins in their healthy eating diet plan.  It can be added to cereal to increase protein consumption and even be used in home baking when making healthy baked snacks.

We would suggest using this product approximately 60 minutes prior to your workout and within 30 minutes after your workout to ensure a positive nitrogen balance and aid recovery. It can also be used to curb your appetite and cravings mid-morning or afternoon, or in the evening prior to bedtime (although a slower absorbed protein like O/N Casein would be more preferable in the evening).

Remember this product shouldn’t be used to replace quality nutrition and regular meals and we recommend that you don’t consume more than three drinks per day.

There’s no question that Gold Standard Whey is the standard by which other whey proteins should be measured.  It is our recommended choice here at Fitness ‘n’ Weight.
