Gold Standard Whey Review

As we have previously discussed, Gold Standard Whey is a very high quality source of whey protein. The speed at which it is absorbed by the body makes it ideal following a training session, at the body is starved of proterin at this point and in a position to facilitate fast recovery. Unfortunately, the speed at which Gold Standard Whey is absorbed does make usage at any other time more difficult to recommend, unless you are trying to gain weight, or are a hard gainer. Whey protein converts so quickly in the body that unless there is a demand for the protein you body may convert the excess calories into bodyfat. If you are looking for a protein which canbe used at various times of the day we would suggest looking into time release proteins. Regardless however, Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey is a very well reviewed, formulated and respected whey protein, and is an essential part of any serious trainers gym bag.
