Taste		Great label, Great taste.
Ingredient profile		Great label, Great taste.


Taste		I will buy it again... the extreme milk chocolate flavour taste so good even with water..


Taste		Gave it a 9 because the taste isn't anything special
Taste		The taste isn't very potent which can be a good or bad thing depending on what you like.
Value for money		Great protein and decent price.

Gas or bloating	What I like most is that it doesn't get me all bloated like the Cytosport stuff I was taking before.


Taste		If you are looking for a cost effective, great tasting, and whey protein that also includes BCAA's, look no further that Gold Standard!
Taste		Chocolate Peanut Butter is hands down the best flavor (I am addicted to Peanut Butter and love chocolate too so it's a match made in heaven!).


Taste		This is a great product, it tastes good with water or milk and is not very sweet.


Taste		but it is still the best protein powder out there and it has the most variety of flavor to choose from.


Value for money		ITS THE MOST PURCHASED PROTEIN FOR A REASON...GREAT PRICE AND GREAT RESULTS...THANKS GOLD STANDARD FOR NOT KILLING OUR WALLETS LOL


Taste		65-77 servings (depending on flavor) for the price they ask for is a great deal.
Taste		but not least, taste wise, I say it's above average.
Taste		I've had better tasting proteins (usually loaded with higher amounts of sugars and fats) and I've had way worse.
Value for money		BUT to save money, it does contain whey protein concentrate, which is no where near the purest form.
Value for money		Also, ON claims retail price to be close to $100 for their 100% Whey,
Value for money		but offer sales that lower the price to $40-60 range.
Value for money		65-77 servings (depending on flavor) for the price they ask for is a great deal.
Value for money		ON's 100% Whey is good for the buyer trying to save money and get above average protein,


Muscle gain		It is great for gaining muscle, and I think many other people would agree!


Muscle gain		Would and do recommend to everyone looking to get bigger
Taste		This is by far the BEST tasting whey protein powder on the market.


Taste		The price is good, the servings are good, the taste is great, and the results show.
Value for money		The price is good, the servings are good, the taste is great, and the results show.


Taste		But this flavor along with the vanilla ice cream is not one of their great taste.


Taste		Tastes exactly as advertised!
Taste		Sadly I personally wasn't too fond of its flavor profile,
Taste		but it was easily remedied by mixing this vanilla flavor with chocolate milk instead of water.
Taste		but in another flavor (but that's a personal preference) just to find out which I like best with water.
Ingredient profile		Sadly I personally wasn't too fond of its flavor profile,
