GOLD STANDARD ISOLATE
To create GOLD STANDARD ISOLATE, we start by selecting only the highest quality whey protein which undergoes a series of sophisticated filtration processes to ‘isolate’ out excess fat, cholesterol, and sugar. A portion of this Whey Protein Isolate is then hydrolyzed – broken down into smaller chains of amino acids. The final product is a fast-digesting complete protein containing no more than 1 gram of carbohydrates, less than a gram of fat, and more than 80% pure protein per serving to support your muscle building, performance, and fitness goals. Supports Muscle recovery and build strength, when taken with the right Exercise, Hydration, Sleep and Nutritious food. Hydrolised Whey Protein Isolate. This is not a meal replacement. It can be consumed pre, during or post workout, anytime of the day. And it can be consumed with milk or water.

What is the amino Acid profile of Gold Standard 100% Whey?
Amino Acid profile means content and distribution of the different amino acids found in a protein. It does not change from brand to brand, or region to region, as the protein source itself (in present case-Whey) has a standard amino acids profile. Only case the profile may change is if the manufacturers are “Adding” or “Enriching” the product with added amino acids. Which is not the case with Gold Standard Whey. One serving of Gold Standard 100% Whey has 11 grams of naturally occurring Essential Amino Acids (including 5.5 grams of BCAAs), and over 4 grams of naturally occurring Glutamine and Glutamic Acid. Product label is a limited space so we chose to remove individual amino acids distribution since it is essentially a common knowledge that can be found anywhere in public domain. Here it is for your reference, hope this helps-
