Gold Standard Natural 100% Whey vs Gold Standard 100% Whey

These products contain the same whey proteins: whey protein concentrate, whey protein isolate and whey peptides (whey hydrolysate). So you are definitely not missing out on anything if you go all natural here. These are both premium quality protein blends from Glanbia.

The main difference between the 2 products is that the regular Gold Standard 100% Whey contains a mixture of natural and artificial flavours while Gold Standard Natural 100% Whey contains natural flavours only. Also, the natural version of this protein contains rebaudioside A, which is a natural sweetener extracted from stevia. The standard version contains acesulfame potassium, an artificial sweetener.

It is also interesting to note that Gold Standard Natural 100% Whey contains lactase, the enzyme that digests lactose or milk sugar. This will make it easier for anyone with lactose intolerance to tolerate.

Despite the fact that there are only 3 flavours with the natural version, I'd be inclined to choose this product over the standard version given that it has been optimised for bioavailability.

How to Use Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Natural 100% Whey

Add 1 rounded scoop of Natural Whey to 200-250ml of cold water or liquid of your choice. Shake until mixed and consume.
