Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein Vanilla Ice Cream Flavour Powder 4000gm

Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey Protein is used for managing muscle recovery, growth and overall performance. With a blend of Whey Protein Isolate, Whey Protein Concentrate and Hydrolyzed Whey Protein, this formula ensures rapid absorption and delivery of essential amino acids to the muscles, making it an ideal choice for post-workout recovery or to meet daily protein needs. This protein powder is enriched with naturally occurring BCAAs and glutamine which are crucial for muscle repair and managing muscle soreness. Its gluten-free formulation and suitability for vegetarians make it a versatile option for anyone looking to manage their nutrition and fitness regimen.

• Whey Protein: The primary ingredient is a high-quality protein blend consisting of whey protein isolate, whey protein concentrate and hydrolysed whey protein. Whey protein isolate provides a fast-digesting and easily absorbed source of protein, perfect for muscle recovery and growth. Whey protein concentrate is rich in essential amino acids and provides a balanced protein source with added nutrients like BCAAs. Hydrolysed whey protein undergoes partial digestion, allowing for quicker absorption and managed muscle protein synthesis.
   
• Emulsifier: The emulsifier helps maintain the texture and consistency of the protein powder, ensuring smooth mixing without clumping. It also stabilises the protein blend, managing separation and managing the overall experience when mixed with water or milk. The emulsifier is essential for maintaining the high quality and usability of the product over time, ensuring that each scoop delivers consistent results. It manages the product’s versatility, allowing it to be mixed easily into various shakes and recipes.
   
• Cocoa Powder (Processed with Alkali): This ingredient is used to manage the flavour and richness of the vanilla ice cream taste. Cocoa powder processed with alkali (also known as Dutch-processed cocoa) manages acidity and delivers a smoother, milder flavour. It adds a subtle depth and creaminess, complementing the sweetness of the vanilla, while contributing a small number of antioxidants. The alkali process also makes the powder easier to dissolve, managing its mixability in liquid.
   
• Saturated Fat: Saturated fat is present in minimal quantities, contributing to the texture and taste of the protein powder. While traditionally seen as less beneficial, in small amounts, saturated fat can play a role in hormone regulation, including the production of testosterone which is important for muscle growth. It also helps in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, contributing to overall health. The carefully controlled amount ensures the product remains health-focused without compromising on flavour or texture.
   
• Sodium: Sodium helps maintain fluid balance and manages proper muscle function during exercise. It is crucial for managing cramps and maintaining hydration levels, especially during intense training sessions. Sodium also contributes to the taste, balancing the sweetness and managing the overall flavour of the vanilla ice cream profile. Its inclusion ensures that athletes and active individuals get the right balance of electrolytes to manage endurance and recovery.
   
• Other Ingredients: Flavours, Cookie Crumbs (Enriched Flour [Wheat Flour, Niacin, Reduced Iron, Thiamin Mononitrate, Riboflavin, Folic Acid), Sugar, Edible Vegetable Oil [Palm And Palm Kernel Oil, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Corn Flour, Dextrose, Sodium Bicarbonate, Soy Lecithin), Sodium Chloride, Thickeners (INS 466, INS 415, INS 407), Sweetener (INS 955). 

• Maintains Muscle Growth: Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey Protein provides 24 grams of high-quality protein per serving which is essential for muscle repair, growth and maintenance. Whether used post-workout or as a daily protein supplement, it helps meet the increased protein demands of active individuals, helping in lean muscle development.
   
• Manages Recovery with BCAAs: Each serving contains 5.5 grams of naturally occurring branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) like leucine, isoleucine and valine which are critical for muscle recovery and managing muscle soreness. BCAAs manage muscle endurance and exercise-induced fatigue, making it easier to recover after intense workouts.
   
• Manages Healthy Glutamine Levels: This whey protein powder is rich in glutamine and glutamic acid, with over 4 grams per serving. Glutamine is vital for maintaining muscle mass, managing the immune system and managing muscle recovery. It plays a key role in managing muscle breakdown during intense physical activity.
   
• Gluten-Free and Vegetarian-Friendly: The formula is free from gluten, making it suitable for those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease. Additionally, it is vegetarian-friendly, catering to a broader range of dietary preferences and needs without compromising on protein quality.
   
• Versatile and Easy to Mix: The powder’s smooth texture and easy mixability make it versatile for various uses. It blends effortlessly with water, milk or other beverages, making it convenient for pre- and post-workout shakes, smoothies or even baking recipes. The consistent flavour profile ensures a pleasant taste experience every time.
   
• Manages Fat and Carbohydrates: This protein powder offers high protein content while keeping fat and carbohydrates low, making it ideal for those following a balanced or calorie-restricted diet. It helps in meeting daily protein goals without adding unnecessary calories, managing both muscle gain and fat loss efforts.
