Gold Standard Whey protein is popular among athletes, bodybuilders, fitness models, as well as people looking to improve their performance in the gym. Whey protein has been shown to be particularly effective at increasing muscle growth when consumed right before, during or after a workout. Muscle protein synthesis is usually maximised in the time period after training.

The ways by which whey protein promotes muscle/strength gain include:

1. Providing protein and amino acids, which serve as building blocks for increased muscle growth.

2. Increasing the release of anabolic hormones that can stimulate muscle growth, such as insulin.

3. Containing high amounts of amino acid leucine, which is known to stimulate muscle protein synthesis at the molecular and genetic level.

4. Whey protein being absorbed and utilised very quickly compared to other types of protein.

Mix about one scoop of Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey into 250mL of water or milk. Stir, shake or blend until it’s completely dissolved. For best results, mix up your shake 30 to 60 minutes after your workout or use as a snack to complement your balanced diet.
