By our senior writer: Dorota Weiß
Today is a exciting day for me because I get to review the Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100%! I am long time groceries writer, blogger and reviewer Dorota Weiß and you might know me from some of my other reviews. I've written for example about the NOW Sports Nutrition, Soy Protein Isolate Powder, Unflavored, 2-Pound by Now Foods and the NOW Foods - Organic Erythritol - 1 lb. by Now Foods or maybe you have heard of the editorial piece I did on the Optimum Nutrition Protein & Oats, Blueberry Muffin, 27g Protein, 14 Servings. Anyway, I have quite a lot experience trying out groceries and recommending only the best to my readers. Therefore I was really happy when this product came on my path.
Introduction
Since 2012 I've been watching Optimum Nutrition1 so I am really excited that I am finally able to try the Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% and writing this review for you guys. While searching for the best deal on this product I stumbled across this offer on Walmart (You can buy it here.) and I immediately jumped on the opportunity. So I got my creditcard out and placed my order. With the standard same day delivery and free shipping it really is a bargain compared to the competitor brands and retailers. Later that day when my Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% was delivered I opened it and was overjoyed with what I saw. I might sound a bit biassed being a longtime Optimum Nutrition customer but this product really steps it up quite a bit, which is immediately noticeable when opening the package. Now that I've been testing it for a couple of days now I feel like I know enough about the Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% to write this review. So keep reading and I will show you why I am so enthusiastic about my brand new Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100%.
Summary
When reviewing groceries I usually begin with a summary, then a compact list of the pros and cons of the product after which you can find the rating and my conclusion and resources. So as you can read in the intro, I am really amazed by the Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100%. Optimum Nutrition has really set a new standard with this one. The durability is fantastic, and frankly; it just looks super. I know looks aren't deciding with groceries, but it just needs to be addressed. I mean the price Walmart offered was and is by far the lowest so make sure to check them out when you are going to get one. As I have tested some alternatives before, I will say none come close to the Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100%. Just the flexibility alone crumbles all competition and the quality also seems to be top notch. The famous customer service of Optimum Nutrition2 is always very happy to help if you have any kind of questions so if you ever run in to something with their products they'll be really supple with helping you find a solution. So just to recap; only positive things to say about the Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein Powder, Strawberry Banana, 24g Protein, 5 Lb. Do read till the end tho because you there is a tiny surprise!
Pros
This pros list of the Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% could be much longer, and is way longer than the conslist, but the description3 this site has will probably already say it all. Here is just a little piece: "World's Best Selling Whey Protein Powder
Whey Protein Isolates are the purest and most expensive form of whey protein that exists. That's why they are the first ingredients you read on the Naturally Flavored Gold Standard 100% Whey label. By using Whey Protein Isolates as our primary protein source, we're able to pack in 24 grams of the purest protein with"
. So without further ado, this is the very much incomplete list:
- The amazing looks.
- The quality is great.
- It is everything it promises to be.
- $59.99 is just a steal comparing to the alternatives.
- There is no brand like Optimum Nutrition when it comes to groceries.
- The durability is very nice, so better for the environment.
- In this price range, no other product coming out will be matching the Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% for a long time to come.
Cons
I had a tough time thinking of cons for the Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100%. Better prices are of course always nice and I don't know if you actually need this luxurious quality4. That's a thing only you can figure out for yourself. However, the list:
- Maybe the aesthetics of the product are not your style.
- It's a premium product so chances are you don't need this abundance of quality.
- The Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% is loved by a lot of professionals so soon everybody will probably have one.
Rating
Considering the points above I can only conclude that the Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% deserves 5 stars, 10/10 an A+++ and just overall praise5. I've read reviews by people saying that it's a little too perfect and that it doesn't leave room for the competition, but I don't really mind a nice monopoly. And Optimum Nutrition sure is heading to become one with this product!
★★★★★
