Gold standard whey

Gold Standard Whey is a high‑protein whey supplement marketed under the Gold Standard Whey name by Optimum Nutrition, positioned in the protein‑food segment of dietary supplements. It delivers 79 g of protein per 100 g with modest sugar (3.9 g) and moderate fat (3.8 g) and salt (0.61 g), providing 372 kcal, but it is classified as an ultra‑processed product (NOVA 4) and carries no Nutri‑Score because supplements are excluded from that system. Consumers should weigh the high protein efficiency against its processed nature and relatively high calorie density when incorporating it into a balanced diet.
