This is like manna from heaven. In fact, once I started using this, I quit not only working out and still gained muscle mass. I also quit my job and now devote my time to sitting on the couch and playing on the Xbox. And I'm still gaining muscle, about 5 pounds a week. I won a $100,000 scratcher last month the money from which I'm using to find a cure for cancer. I'm just about there ! **Q: Body Fortress Super Advanced has 30 gr protein per scoop, and ON has 24 gr. what's the difference?** A: ON Gold Standard has a 31g serving size, and Body Fortress Super Advanced Isolate has a 38g serving size. Larger serving size = more protein. It's really as simple as that. It's got nothing to do with the "bro science" in some of the answers. To be sure, if you convert them to the same 31 gram serving size, then ON has 24 grams of protein, and Body Fortress has 24.5 grams of protein. Companies play around with the serving sizes so they can put "60 grams of protein!!!!!!" in the advertising, but if you do the math, then it's usually about the same amount. **Q: Will consuming more whey (protein) help my rotator cuff tear heal?** A: There is NO healing of a rotator cuff tear...none! This has to be surgically repaired. IF you're lucky, you may be able to have an endoscopic repair which takes much less time to recover. Otherwise, you will have to have a "full Open" repair which is much more involved and takes longer to heal. Trust me, I have been there...3 times all coming from very heavy benches and they were all "full open repairs." The first one I had was only a 1 centimeter tear and it never healed in 3 years. IF you have a true torn rotator cuff, NOTHING, (except surgery), will correct the problem. ANYBODY who tells you they had one and they did this and that and it finally healed up didn't have a tear to begin with. More likely just a bad strain or severe inflammation from overworking the deltoid area. And be prepared for lots of rehab work and it will take you from 9-12 months to get back to where you were before the tear. **Q: Is there a reason why the 5 lb is so much thicker than the 2 lb? i tried the 2 lb, liked it, and order 5...outside of jug seems the same...** A: Get something like an "AMIR 500g/0.01g Digital Kitchen Scale". They're twelve bucks & quite accurate. I suspect the powder is compressed, making the scoops a bit heavy. Measuring by weight instead of volume should provide more consistent results. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hands down my favorite protein powder! *by R***A on August 24, 2026* I’ve been using Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey for a while now, and it’s honestly lived up to all the hype.

It mixes really well in my shaker, tastes like vanilla ice cream, and isn’t overly sweet. I even add it to my coffee sometimes, and it tastes great. It’s also reasonably priced compared to a lot of other protein powders, so for me it’s an easy way to hit my protein goals without spending a fortune. I’ll definitely keep buying it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pleasantly Surprised, will purchase again. *by L***T on July 9, 2026* I have had bad experiences with protein powder in the past because I have sensitive gag reflexes when it comes to drinks. In the past protein powder has been a no-go due to its famous chalky taste. This protein powder blends smoothly, and doesn’t leave a chalky taste in my mouth. I bought the small tub of vanilla ice-cream flavor because I didn’t want to try it, not like it, then be stuck with a giant tub. I feel like every penny that I spent was worth it because the quality was unmatched. The scoop comes in the tub, and it was very accessible, so I didn’t feel like I was contaminating the whole bin when reaching for it so it feels very clean to me. I use it to make Greek yogurt/fruit shakes in the morning. The sweetness of the protein powder is enough that I don’t feel the need to add other sweeteners. I will drink a protein shake for breakfast, and be good until lunch. I’m excited to try other flavors. I well have to update this review when I finish my first tub/try other flavors. ## Frequently Bought Together - Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein Powder, Vanilla Ice Cream, 10 Pound (Packaging May Vary) - Optimum Nutrition Micronized Creatine Monohydrate Powder, Unflavored, 120 Servings, 600 Grams (Packaging May Vary) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sc/products/4445832-optimum-nutrition-gold-standard-100-whey-protein-powder-vanilla-ice](https://www.desertcart.sc/products/4445832-optimum-nutrition-gold-standard-100-whey-protein-powder-vanilla-ice) --- *Product available on Desertcart Seychelles* *Store origin: SC* *Last updated: 2026-09-12*
