Optimum Nutrition Platinum Hydrowhey Protein Powder, 100% Hydrolyzed Whey Isolate Powder, Flavor: Velocity Vanilla, 3.5 Pounds (Packaging May Vary)

Best price in the whole market!!

Although the product is a little bit more expensive than the other ones by bout $15 the price difference is all in the protein by how easily it absorbs, my shakes come out extremely smooth and frothy. Let alone the taste of this is by far one of the better proteins I’ve consumed but I’ve only been through about 6 jars of different brands and flavors. I usually don’t write reviews but this one was just a big surprise and a hit for me. Definitely going to be sticking with this for a while

Love this product and drink it daily. Ive taken the price increases over the past several years in stride. Understandably with supply chain issues, inflations, etc., prices have to rise. Unfortunately, theyve priced themselves out of the market. Attempted to purchase from other retailers of this product the past several months, who hadnt changed pricing. $100+ for 40 days worth of product just isnt sustainable. Even for higher income earners. ON - please bring this product back to realistic pricing...and Ill be back.

Okay. I normally do not like these powders as they either clump up or have a weird after taste. Ive been using this at work in the mornings to help keep me full. I read all the reviews here, and applied all I saw about using a little less water if you want a stronger taste or more water for a weaker taste, also after shaking it up, put it in the fridge for 30 minutes to get rid of clumps and chunks. I found this is what works best for me: 10oz of water 1 Scoop (the one provided) Shake up for 30 seconds put in 1 Serving of PB2 (good stuff) Shake up for 20 seconds Put in Fridge for 30 minutes Drink So far this method has worked flawlessly, I have no seen one clump of the powder or the PB2 and all I am using is a simple little 12 oz shaker for mixing it and drinking it. The taste is really good with or with out the PB2 taste, it kind of tastes like a chocolate drink and if you use less water you get that rich chocolate taste, it almost feels like I am cheating :D Highly suggest you try the smaller bottle before investing in the large one.

It is what my wife wanted.

Normally I sit on the sideline and just read reviews but it bothers me when people give misinformed reviews possibly swaying people away from a perfectly good product. First of all this isnt your run of the mill protein powder. This product contains hydrolyzed whey protein which your body metabolizes much better than other forms of whey, especially whey concentrate (check the labels of most protein powders and see what the first protein listed is, its probably concentrate). Concentrate is easy to produce and is one of the least efficient forms of whey. Its not that it doesnt work but an awful lot of it get converted into waste. Also, since hydrolyzed whey is metabolized better an added benefit is that it is easier on your stomach (protein shakes dont always agree with everyone). The reason hydrolyzed whey is more expensive is because the refining process is much more involved and the yield is much less at the end of the process. The biggest negative to hydrolyzed whey is the taste. Hydrolyzed proteins typically are very bitter. The ON Platinum Whey tastes phenomenal for a hydrolyzed whey product. If all you want is a great tasting milk shake and dont care about the quality of protein then look elsewhere. This brings me to my biggest gripe with a lot of reviewers. Please stop comparing apples and oranges. Yes it is more expensive than ON Gold Whey but for the reasons I mentioned above there are additional costs in manufacturing and as a result there are added benefits to the consumer. 1 gram of whey concentrate is not equal to 1 gram of hydrolyzed whey. So stop comparing it to the Whey gold gram for gram. Its not just marketing hype, they market it as platinum because it is a better product. Ive been using this product for over a year and Ive tried a plethora of other brands but this by far is the best tasting hydrolyzed whey formula in my experience. There might be more pure hydrolyzed whey out there but the bitterness is nauseating. This is a great product by a reputable company. It isnt magic and its not perfect, nothing is. Hydrolyzed whey isnt for everyone either. I agree with other reviewers, do your research. Just make sure you are comparing apples to apples, the nutrition info doesnt tell the whole story. Read the ingredients.

I have bought several tubs of their chocolate and vanilla protein powder in the last few years and its getting harder and harder to get this down. The sweetener is so overwhelming, its almost nauseating. I have to split it into several servings over the day and mix with other foods or drinks. Drinking 1-2 scoops of this in one shake is unbearable. At this point, and mostly due to this product, Im using bare-bone, sweetener free products. Unfortunately, there arent a lot of options with those specifications. Additionally, I had an Amazon subscription for this product for a while and the price has slowly gone from ~$50-60 to $100. Im aware of the resource limitation due to Covid, but that doesnt excuse (almost) doubling the price over a couple of years.

La compré como regalo para mi esposa, quedó encantada.

I love working out, so I use whey protein and I love to experiment with different kinds. I mainly stuck with Now Foods - Whey Protein Isolate, because it has no preservatives or additives or any chemical crap in it and you can feel and see the difference in it. Well after killing 40 pounds of Now Foods, I wanted to try something new and didnt want chocolate or vanilla. I went with the strawberry Hydro Whey by ON. Im not a big fan of ON because they use Maltodextrin and artificials that cause health problems and weight gain in the gut. I have to say, for a protein that has artificials in it, this is pretty good. I love the taste, it mixes very very easy with a blender ball cup and the taste of the strawberry literally tasted like strawberry. It is really sweet, so if you like sweet things, this is easy to down within seconds. I normally chug it because it tastes that great. To say for performance wise, after I drink this, I feel good but I sometimes feel that crash or lazy feeling you get from the additive crap in it. If ON would take out their artificial ingredient and just let it be, I would stick with it. but I have to say, this is a great protein overall if you dont believe in the artificial ingredients affecting your body. I for one can tell a difference from the Now Foods to this one. Overall, I would recommend this because it is one of the best Caseins out there for performance and taste.

I’ve gone through multiple different brands and types of whey protein powder over 6-7 years and nothing holds a candle to this. The flavor is unremarkable and inoffensive. The macros are great compared to some other carb-heavy protein powders out there. But most importantly this powder has given me exactly zero side effects compared to others. While I am not lactose intolerant, I experience bloating and get acne breakouts when having 2+ scoops a day of most whey protein powders, but this one came without any of those issues. The only issue is how expensive it is but I’m more than willing to pay the premium and I don’t see myself ever buying a different type or brand of whey in the future.
