## Description

Product Description Meet Optimum Nutrition's Platinum Hydro Whey, a specialised protein powder that contains a single-source protein made entirely of hydrolysed whey protein isolates and helps you build and maintain muscle mass*. Isolates are the purest form of whey protein and don’t include any excess fat or sugar. Protein contributes to the growth of muscle mass, and to the maintenance of muscle and normal bone structure*. Hydrolysing the isolates breaks the larger proteins down into smaller pieces, which means the isolates are absorbed more quickly. Each serving of this whey protein powder contains as much as 30 g of protein and 9.5 g of naturally occurring essential amino acids (BCAAs). This most advanced and purest protein powder from Optimum Nutrition supports your strength training, CrossFit routine, gym workout, or endurance sessions. ON whey protein powder is a great addition to your healthy and balanced diet, alongside your protein snacks and BCAA supplements. The ON whey isolate comes in three delicious varieties: Milk Chocolate, Super Strawberry, and Vanilla Bean. For a tasty, lump-free shake, add 1 scoop of the whey isolate to 260 ml of water and shake, stir, or blend well. Whey protein powder can be taken any time of day: before or after an intense workout, between meals, or with a meal in the morning. *Source: Official Journal of the European Union - COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 432/2012 Ingredients INGREDIENTS: Hydrolysed WHEY Protein Isolate [MILK] (87%) (Emulsifier: SOY Lecithin), Branched Chain Amino Acids (5%) (L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, L-Valine, Emulsifier: Sunflower Lecithin), Thickener (Carrageenan), Flavourings, Sweeteners (Sucralose, Acesulfame K), Sunflower Oil Powder [MILK], Sodium Chloride Directions Place 180-240 ml of water in a container (e.g. shaker).

Review: Honest product, great quality - As it says on their website, this product is Ultra low % in lactose. I have severe abdominal reactions to even the tiniest amount (like 1/4 of a small cup of milk) and I can confirm that this one does not cause me any discomfort at all. I mix it with some frozen berries and alt milk in the morning or with water after a session. Mixes great, no lumps whatsoever, tastes as expected, not too sweet not too bland. A bit pricey but I will be buying again as I have seen the recovery difference coupled with low lactose content!
Review: Best whey protein on the market - Not much I can say apart from this whey protein is the only form of protein you should buy of buying whey. Having it in the isolate form is next for your body. Great taste although a bit foamy and gives a good amount of protein per scoop compared to other brands.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: The label looks different compared to the previous one I got, is it still the same OPTIMUM NUTRITION product?**
A: As you evolve, so do we. The part of our mission is to help active individuals better understand OPTIMUM NUTRITION products. Now choosing the right product for you is easier with more visible product benefits, features and flavours on each tub.

**Q: Why my tube is not full to the brim?**
A: Due to vacuum packing some of the tubs may appear to be two thirds full when opened. This is normal as the powder settles and does not impact on or decrease the weight or number of serves listed on the label.

**Q: What is the best way to prepare my sport nutrition drink?**
A: For optimal use, follow serving instructions on pack.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best whey protein on the market
*by E***C on 29 May 2025*

Not much I can say apart from this whey protein is the only form of protein you should buy of buying whey. Having it in the isolate form is next for your body. Great taste although a bit foamy and gives a good amount of protein per scoop compared to other brands.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great taste, high protein, low carbs, and good for sensitive tummies
*by A***R on 6 December 2023*

Finding a good protein shake that doesn’t have high carb content or an artificial after taste, and doesn’t leave you feeling bloated an hour later is hard to find. Really pleased to have found this one. The chocolate one is quite sweet, so I make it up with unsweetened almond milk. On my second tub. Will try the strawberry one next I think.
