My whey protein powder of choice to meet my daily protein requirements.
Why?
I have yet to come across any protein powders that are similarly priced and comes in huge containers of approx 80 servings each. It retails at
Also interesting to note that Bodybuilding.com not only awarded it
Nutritional Breakdown
At 120 calories per serving (when mixed with water), it basically contains:
Protein: 24g
Total Fat: 1g
Cholesterol: 30mg
Total Carbohydrates: 3g
Aminogen (a naturally derived, patented plant enzymethat helps the body naturally liberate free-form amino acids from food proteinand therefore enhances the body’s absorption process)
Flavours I’ve seen
Chocolate, Vanilla, Banana, and Strawberry
Flavours I’ve tried
Chocolate and Vanilla
The Chocolate tastes really good when mixed with water but the Vanilla falls a bit flat. If you’re really particular on taste, mix it with milk instead, and remember - thats extra calories.
How much do I consume and when?
After workouts only- 2 scoops mixed with water (yeah, thats 2 servings!)
One container easily lasts me for 2 months.
If you have been a long time Optimum user, you would also notice that they’ve recently made a slight change to the formula of 100%
My whey is the right whey.
Still plenty left.
Precise servings with their free scoop found inside

Ganee has done an excellent comparison with the older version of ON’s Whey Protein. Check it out HERE. MUST SEE!

aiyooo…i dont think i can eat these things u consume lar. *shakes head*
That’s RM2.875 per serving. Crap….. not cheap……
There was a company (Designer Protein) that said if the whey was heat-dried to form the powder, your body only absorbs 30% of the protein. They claim most manufacturers dry above 200 degress C. to use a process where the temperature doesn’t go above 100 degrees C or something like that. Would you know anything about this, or heard of Designer Protein (also makes “Ultimate Orange”)?
aw,
See http://www.designerwhey.com. Designer used to be my protein of choice a long time ago when I could get my supply directly from overseas. Its ridiculously expensive to buy in Malaysia until today. The one thing I’ll never forget about Designer though, is their amazing taste! I particularly love their Strawberry flavour.
High temperatures do denature/destroy the protein molecules in any protein supplement… thats why you should never mix your protein powder with hot water! From what I know.. most manufacturers ‘cold process’ the whey. In a competitive industry like this, Im quite confident that Optimum Nutrition would know best.
If you used to read muscle magazines a few years ago, you would notice that both Designer Protein AND Optimum NUtrition used to run ad campaigns that attacked eachother directly! So if you ever come across an ad that makes u question Optimum nutrition.. - its exactly what they want you to believe.
In my opinion, I would rate both Optimum and Designer whey equal. Its just that Optimum is much easier on my wallet. I’ve seen great results with both.
