Product description

Product Description

Meet Optimum Nutrition's Platinum Hydro Whey, a specialised protein powder that contains a single-source protein made entirely of hydrolysed whey protein isolates and helps you build and maintain muscle mass*. Isolates are the purest form of whey protein and don’t include any excess fat or sugar. Protein contributes to the growth of muscle mass, and to the maintenance of muscle and normal bone structure*. Hydrolysing the isolates breaks the larger proteins down into smaller pieces, which means the isolates are absorbed more quickly. Each serving of this whey protein powder contains as much as 30 g of protein and 9.5 g of naturally occurring essential amino acids (BCAAs). This most advanced and purest protein powder from Optimum Nutrition supports your strength training, CrossFit routine, gym workout, or endurance sessions. ON whey protein powder is a great addition to your healthy and balanced diet, alongside your protein snacks and BCAA supplements. The ON whey isolate comes in three delicious varieties: Milk Chocolate, Super Strawberry, and Vanilla Bean. For a tasty, lump-free shake, add 1 scoop of the whey isolate to 260 ml of water and shake, stir, or blend well. Whey protein powder can be taken any time of day: before or after an intense workout, between meals, or with a meal in the morning. *Source: Official Journal of the European Union - COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 432/2012

Indications

Simply add 1 scoop of Platinum Hydrowhey to a blender, shaker cup, or glass filled with 330ml of cold water, milk, or juice and blend, shake, or stir for 20-30 seconds or until powder is dissolved.

42 customers mention ‘Protein quality’42 positive0 negative

Customers find the product has a good protein profile. It contains 30g of protein per scoop, which is the most on the market. The protein is hydrolysed, which allows it to enter the body quickly. Hydrolysed proteins help meet nutritional goals and optimise protein intake.

19 customers mention ‘Speed’19 positive0 negative

Customers like the protein supplement powder. It helps them recover from long or faster runs or intense strength sessions quicker than usual. They find it accelerates their workout routine and reduces muscle wastage. The rolled organic oats assist with post-workout recovery and minimise muscle wastage. Customers notice a big difference during workouts, and they see noticeable gains in strength if you train hard and drink the shake immediately after finishing a workout. The taste is good and takes away the post workout craving.

"...Before bed I mix with 50g of rolled organic oats to assist with post-workout recovery and minimise “muscle wastage” (high in carbs)..." Read more

"...A bit pricey but I will be buying again as I have seen the recovery difference coupled with low lactose content!" Read more

"...The price is very reasonable, given the fact that you are paying for 99% whey isolate (means 30g serving contains approximately 30g of protein)...." Read more

    As it says on their website, this product is Ultra low % in lactose. I have severe abdominal reactions to even the tiniest amount (like 1/4 of a small cup of milk) and I can confirm that this one does not cause me any discomfort at all. I mix it with some frozen berries and alt milk in the morning or with water after a session. Mixes great, no lumps whatsoever, tastes as expected, not too sweet not too bland. A bit pricey but I will be buying again as I have seen the recovery difference coupled with low lactose content!

    Finding a good protein shake that doesn’t have high carb content or an artificial after taste, and doesn’t leave you feeling bloated an hour later is hard to find. Really pleased to have found this one.
    The chocolate one is quite sweet, so I make it up with unsweetened almond milk. On my second tub. Will try the strawberry one next I think.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Easier on the stomach but a tad expensive.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 July 2018
    Flavour Name: StrawberryVerified Purchase
    I used to use the ON Gold Standard whey product but found a lot of times I either had wind problems and a bad feeling in my gut shortly after taking it and started to get tired of feeling bad and the 'rumbles in the jungle' after workouts. Yes, I tried using it with milk, water, almond milk and lactose free milk along with soya milk but the results were mostly the same each time and it never went away.

    After trying some other products I spotted this Platinum Hydro whey and some reviews I read online mentioned it was easier on the stomach, so I gave a tub of the Velocity Vanilla a go. It's not cheap, lets get that out there at the start - and I'm not going to go into all the science about how its made (go to the ON website if you want to read about that), but its a quality product and since using it for a few months I'm happy to report zero stomach upsets. No wind, no rumbles and I don't have to keep lookout for an emergency toilet!

    The vanilla is a tad over sweetened in my opinion but better with milk than water, the chocolate is ok I guess but the best one I've tasted so far is the Super Strawberry, its much better tasting. It reminds me a bit of Nesquik milk or Strawberry Angel Delight, and is perfectly fine to have even with plain water - for me anyway - your taste buds may vary.

    If you use it to bake with, it does tend to dry out the end product so add a little more moisture into the recipe, for example protein brownies, use a bit more coconut oil. I'm guessing this is due to the manufacturing process, Gold Standard seems a bit 'moister' and didn't do this.

    4 stars as although the gains keep on coming without any side effects, its a tad expensive and the tubs are smaller than the Gold Standard.

    This protein power just tastes incredible. I blend it up in my Nutri Ninja with full fat milk, double cream and plenty of frozen fruit. To enhance the taste and boost the protein I sometimes add half a pint of peanut butter and a couple of cooked bbq chicken wings. You cant go wrong with that combo.

    Absolutely loving this product so far. My upgrade away from isolate vanilla whey.

    Accidentally ordered the hydro chocolate over vanilla, as thought vanilla had less sugar and calories however realised after that the choc trumped on nutrition overall, including less calories and sugar.

    Finding that it has allowed me to accelerate workout routine - now incorporating weights.

    Before bed I mix with 50g of rolled organic oats to assist with post-workout recovery and minimise “muscle wastage” (high in carbs)

    Will definitely be ordering again - should’ve have opted to the subscription plan …

    Highly recommended

    The product is perfect but their business practice is anti-consumer.
    The quality is great. No bloating, no digestive issues, no problem mixing, all tastes are good but I wouldn't buy it outside of a discount. It's too expensive. Other than pricing, I wish it would come in larger containers to be more affordable. Nonetheless, solid choice. Recommended at a good discount.
