Gold Standard 100% Whey

8.1/ 10
Excellent

A well-built protein: isolate-forward, 24 g a scoop, and it mixes clean.

Not much mystery here, and that is fine. Whey protein isolate leads the blend, backed by concentrate and hydrolyzed peptides, for 24 g of complete protein per scoop at a reasonable price. It is a protein powder doing exactly what a protein powder should. The only asterisk is that concentrate rides behind the isolate, so it is not a pure-isolate product despite the framing.
