Our take

Gold Standard is a whey blend. The label lists whey protein isolate first, then whey protein concentrate and hydrolyzed whey protein. One 31 g scoop gives 24 g of protein.

This 5 lb tub holds 74 scoops, so the $105.99 price works out to $1.43 a scoop, or $1.49 for each 25 g of protein. Double Rich Chocolate gets its taste from cocoa powder, natural and artificial flavor and acesulfame potassium.

Want NSF Certified for Sport? BulkSupplements isolate has it, unflavored, at $1.73 a serving (see below). Compare more isolates on our whey isolate page.
