OR ON 100% Whey

Optimum 100% Whey Protein won the Supplement Of The Year and Protein Powder Of The Year award for 2005 and 2006! Since the very beginning, Optimum Nutrition has raised the standard by which all other whey protein supplements are judged. Now we're raising the bar again with the 3rd generation of ON 100% Whey Protein: ON 100% Whey Gold Standard.

Like its predecessors, this canister of ON 100% Whey Gold Standard contains Optimum Nutrition's exclusive, proprietary blend of...

* Microfiltered Whey Protein Isolates
* Ion-Exchange Whey Protein Isolates
* Ultrafiltered Whey Protein Concentrate
* HydroWhey Hydrolyzed Whey Peptides

To give you more of what you want (pure, unadulterated whey protein) with less of what you don't (fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, lactose, and other carbohydrates) with every serving. This whey protein supplement is no exception. In fact, ON 100% Whey Gold Standard is better than ever! Here's why:

1. ON 100% Whey Gold Standard provides more whey protein isolates (WPI) - the purest and most expensive source of whey protein available.

2. Higher protein percentage. ON's 100% Whey Gold Standard has always been a leader in this respect. Now with 24 grams of protein in just slightly over one-ounce serving, it's nearly 79% protein by weight!

3. We've included more HydroWhey strategically hydrolyzed, low molecular weight whey peptides to make ON's 100% Whey Gold Standard even faster acting!

4. ON's 100% Whey Gold Standard now contains lactase and Aminogen digestive enzymes to further enhance absorption and make this product even more friendly to lactose intolerant individuals.

5. ON's 100% Whey Gold Standard is instantized to mix easily and completely with just a few twirls of a spoon.

6. Every serving supplies even more low, moderate, and high molecular weight, biologically active whey protein microfractions including Alpha-lactalbumin, Glycomacropeptides, Beta-lactoglobulin, Immunoglobulin G (IgG), Lactoferrin, lactoperoxidase, and various growth factors.

7. Over 4 grams of glutamine and glutamine precursors as well as 5 grams of BCAAs (leucine, isoleucine, and valine) in each scoop!

So which would you say is better for building muscle? and why?

[ZDub212]

The difference would be minimal at best IMO. I would pick up ON Whey and mix it with milk to save money, but that's just me. You can find better blends than Pro Complex btw.

[PaintPir]

I really like Pro complex I thinks it pretty solid and will yield good results

[Black_Spit]

I get 100% Whey and if I need to slow the release, I add some fiber(psyllium) and sometimes some flax.

[jabaha]

If you are looking for a blend protein look into nu-blend or matrix 5.0. I think they are both really good and cheaper than ON pro-complex.

[dermotti]

Dymatize Elite whey seems to have a great profile and price. Its worth a look imho.

[MedSchoolMuscle]

I have used pro complex and 100% whey and I honestly have experienced better gains with the pro complex. I seem to go stagnant everytime i run out of pro complex. I dont recover as quickly with 100% whey and the BCAAs in pro complex compliment the Extend I take as well.

[Elliptical Envy]

Another wonderful thread brought to you by the BB.com forum masses.

[Jakey snakey]

nlarge2 is where its at!!

[purefitness]

IMO Pro complex is solid, and the Rocky Road is delicious.

[IntoxInc]

I am using Pro-Complex Gainer on workout days and 100% Whey on non-workout days... so it depends what your goals and caloric needs are.

Although as someone else also mentioned, Dymatize has a great profile too. Personally, once I am done with the current tub of ON 100% Whey, I will switch to Dymatize Elite because of Cholesterol per serving.

[ghott01]

For someone who is very skinny, and is trying to gain a lot of mass....would you guys recommend the Pro Complex Gainer, or just the ON 100% Whey?

[Acidburnsrain]

Bro, most important thing is your training and DIET. For the MOST part, good whey protein is good whey protein. Focus on eating plenty of real food if you wanna get big.
