Questions and answers of the customers

  1. Q is this NSF approved?
    A The product is Banned Substance Tested by world-class sports anti-doping lab LGC Limited and made at Optimum Nutrition's facilities in Aurora, Illinois, USA that are GMP Registered and GMP for Sport by NSF.
  2. Q It was posted that the Aminogen has been removed, you say it's the same formula/ingredients. Please clarify. Was it removed?
    A Its removed in some but not all flavor variations. You'll just have to read the ingredients list. Not sure why they did that.
  3. Q Will I be able to make all kinds of gains?
    A Yes ! This is like manna from heaven. In fact, once I started using this, I quit not only working out and still gained muscle mass. I also quit my job and now devote my time to sitting on the couch and playing on the Xbox. And I'm still gaining muscle, about 5 pounds a week. I won a $100,000 scratcher last month the money from which I'm using to find a cure for cancer. I'm just about there !
  4. Q how can i know the manufacture date?
    A When you buy directly from Amazon, you are assured for getting Optimum Nutrition products that are well within 'best by' dating. That might not be the case with 3rd party Amazon sellers.
  5. Q The bottle says it contains ingredients of international origin. Which ingredient is from which country?
    A Some of the whey protein comes from Ireland. There may be other ingredients from other countries, but whey makes up the majority of the formula.
  6. Q What is the difference between this one and gold standard ? Which one is better?
    A This is in the gold standard line of products.
  7. Q Is this product organic?
    A Probably not...they would make that a selling point if it was
  8. Q why not come with safety seal when i opened the lid?
    A There's a plastic seal on the outside. It would be redundant to have an inner and outer seal. The outer seal is sufficient. If it's broken when you receive it, the product has been opened by someone else.
  9. Q How many servings in this 4.51 lb container of Gold Standard Whey protein
    A Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey, Naturally Flavored Chocolate, 4.8 Pound - 68 Servings (new)Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey, Naturally Flavored Vanilla, 4.8 Pound - 68 Servings (new)Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Natural 100% Whey Chocolate -- 5 lbs - 71 Servings (old)
  10. Q This product comes up in my casein search.. is this casein or whey?
    A 100% whey
  11. Q does it contain lactose
    A Yes, lactose is present.
  12. Q So is this product worthy? Wow the first reviews that pop up are bad. I want natural sugar over sucralose, and I don't care if its 4.8lbs over 5lbs.
    A The one I purchased contained stevia not sucralose. I also would prefer sugar. I do not like the taste of stevia but found this mixture to be tolerable.
  13. Q Who packs the bottles, amazon or optimum nutrition? i opened the bottle and saw a long hair inside!
    A The tubs are produced at Optimum Nutrition company-operated facilities in Aurora, Illinois, USA which are GMP Registered and GMP for Sport by NSF. If you have a quality concern, please contact our Consumer Affairs team using the phone number on the label.
  14. Q Is this dairy free??
    A Thank you very much for your question! The Gold Standard 100% Natural Whey is a milk based product. If you are looking for something free of dairy, I would recommend giving our Gold Standard Plant a try. Hope this helps!
  15. Q And has it been used any alcohol in production?(natural Strawberry flaver
    A Yes, alcohol is used in the flavoring system. The product is not Halal.
  16. Q Gmo free or not? Please clarify?
    A No, I wanted organic protein and get recommendation for this one, but on label is nothing that is GMO free :(

    A 30mg's of cholesterol per scoop(32g).http://www.optimumnutrition.com/products/naturally-flavored-100-whey-gold-standard-p-202.htmlClick on the picture and it will show you all the nutritional info.
  18. Q Is there supposed to be a scoop included? There isn't one in my container, & I've had to pull out a digital scale...
    A One of the easiest ways to locate the sunken scoop is to tilt the tub to one side and slowly rotate. Once secured, save the scoop to excavate the one sure to be buried in your next tub!
  19. Q Why does the newer version have sugar added to it? I chose this because it did not have added sugar. Is it still truly only 2g of sugar per serving?
    A Yes, it is still 2g of sugar per serving.
  20. Q how many grams of sugar does it have per serving? what sweetener does it have?
    A 4 grams sugar, honey powder, cane juice, stevia
  21. Q Does it normally have a "freshness seal" ? Mine came without the seal, makes me a bit worried about quality
    A Sometimes the seal can be a bit loose. Once it came off and stuck to the plastic lid. Have you looked inside to check?
  22. Q what is the difference with this product that has the word "natural" in the title versus your other "Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Standard"
    A This one does not have artificial sweeteners or flavors
  23. Q Is the lack of artificial sweeteners or flavors the only difference between this and the regular ON Gold standard?
    A Yes, I believe so.
