Send feedbackThis is a proprietary information. However, please keep in mind the ingredients are listed in order of predominance. For example, Gold Standard 100% Whey has Whey Protein Isolate listed as the first protein on the ingredient list which means it is the primary source of protein in the blend.

Send feedbackThe main advantage of Gold Standard Isolate is that it is 100% isolate compared to Gold Standard Whey which is a blend of whey protein isolate (WPI), whey protein concentrate (WPC), and Hydrolysed Whey. Therefore GS Isolate has a higher percentage of protein and a lower level of carbohydrate, lactose and fat per serving. Gold Standard Isolate has 25g of protein per serving whereas GS Whey has 24g per serving, so depending on how much protein you need daily or whether or not you mind little more of carbohydrates, fats and calories in your diet, you may prefer to choose one over the other. However, both protein powders support muscle recovery and rebuilding, when taken over time with regular resistance training.

Send feedbackOptimum Nutrition protein products including Gold Standard 100% Whey contain complete high quality protein sources. This means that they contain all 20 amino acids - which are divided into essential (not produced by the body and are required from food in the diet) and non essential (produced by the body and not needed from food in the diet) amino acids. It is well understood though that a complete protein with all 20 amino acids is needed to support muscle.

Send feedbackWhat you are seeing is completely normal. Not all ingredients are the same level of granulation or precipitation of free-form amino acids, so at times and depending on how well mixed, there can be some visible fall-out. You can continue with your method of mixing to make it a bit more homogenous. Hope that helps!
