Gold Standard 100% Whey – the one most people mean
Gold Standard 100% Whey is Optimum Nutrition's best-known protein and one of the best-selling whey proteins in the world. Each 30 g scoop gives 24 g of protein, with whey protein isolate as the first ingredient, 5 g of naturally occurring BCAAs and about 1 g of sugar. Protein contributes to a growth in muscle mass and to the maintenance of muscle mass and normal bones. It mixes easily with a spoon or shaker, and it is tested for banned substances.

Optimum Nutrition FAQ
Is this genuine Optimum Nutrition? Yes. Our stock comes through ON's European distribution with EU labels, batch numbers and best-before dates on every tub. We are a registered Maltese health shop, not a marketplace seller.
How many servings are in the 2 kg Gold Standard? About 66–68 scoops of 30 g, so roughly ten weeks at one shake a day. The 450 g tub is about 15 scoops.
Whey or Isolate? Both are whey. Isolate is filtered further, so you get a little more protein per scoop and less fat, carbohydrate and lactose, at a higher price per serving. For most people Gold Standard 100% Whey is the sensible choice; Isolate is for people who want the leanest possible shake or who find normal whey heavy on the stomach.
Can I pick it up in store? Yes – the whole range on this page is on the shelf in Tarxien. Order online and collect, or just walk in, Monday to Friday 9am–7pm and Saturday 9am–1pm.
Do you stock other proteins? Yes – see our full protein powder range, including whey protein in Malta from Applied Nutrition and Leap Nutrition if you want a lower price per kilo.
Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
