Muscle gain


Taste		Good taste, 24 grams of protein, and my favorite part is all the benefits in addition to the protein: 5.5 g BCAA's and 5 g of Glutamine per serving.
Taste		Been using this product for years; my only critique is of all the flavors I've tried, none mix very well with milk.
Mixes well		but if not you'll end up with half bubbles and random clumps of protein.
Value for money		Gold Standard is hands down the best value for your money.


Texture		I've used it with water, milk, and even in smoothies and it tastes amazing every time!
Taste		Really helped me recover after a great work out and tastes great!

Recovery ability		Really helped me recover after a great work out and tastes great!


Recovery ability		It seems to be much more effective, helps me recover a bit more too.


Muscle gain		It has greatly helped me in gaining substantial muscle mass, and the double rich chocolate flavor is fantastic, a 2 scoop serving with around 3 oz water, I feel like drinking a rich chocolate milk shake!

Taste		The only downside (particularly with this flavor) is that it does not taste the best.
Taste		I personally think Cellucor has much better tasting protein than Gold Standard,
Taste		It tastes pretty good with milk,
Taste		however I cannot drink it with water; it tastes terrible.
Mixes well		It mixes very easily (with or without a blender) and doesn't upset my stomach in any way.


Taste		but rich and creamy and delicious with almond milk.
Mixes well		Mixes well in a shaker bottle.
Recovery ability		I always have one of these chilled in the car for recovery after hard bike rides.
Value for money		has the best price around on this.
Value for money		They even beat GNC gold club prices!


Taste		Decent price, mixes great and tastes literally like a chocolate milkshake.

Taste		Great tasting protein.
Ingredient profile		but i prefer vanilla as i like to make my own shakes with various ingredients and vanilla is a better base.


Taste		I got the vanilla ice cream which did not taste as what I expect it to be.
Taste		However, I am ordering again and this time I am trying out a new flavour.


Taste		Great tasting protein that mixes well and is low in fat!
Mixes well		Great tasting protein that mixes well and is low in fat!


Fat loss		still my fat loss stage, and it really help me, if seen in my progress pictures.. another thing is, it don't gave upset stomach, over the years taking ON Goldstandard, it's all good,


Taste		Tropical punch tastes amazing, has no gross after-taste, and mixes flawlessly in any shaker with just water.

Texture		Bad flavor and thin when mixed.

Mixes well		Bad flavor and thin when mixed.


Taste		This is better tasting than any sugar-filled nesquik mix.
Taste		There's not a single flaw I can find in the taste.
Endurance		I've gone through pounds and pounds and I'm not even close to getting tired of Mocha Cap.


Taste		I don't think you can find a better tasting product on the market
Taste		but you know it cost a little to much for me to be 100% satisfied with the taste.
Taste		My point is that if you have a supplement that taste like this you would never ever seek a reason not to take a extra protein shake.
Taste		One quick tip about the flavors is to try them all before you buy a big-pack.


Taste		It mixed well and had one of the greatest taste ive ever had!
Mixes well		It mixed well and had one of the greatest taste ive ever had!
Ingredient profile		The profile is good too.
