We are literally made of protein, you need it for healthy skin, hair, nails, organs, bones, and muscle, it supports our movement, feeds your immune system and so much more. **Q: Why Gold Standard 100% Whey?** A: Optimum Nutrition is the World’s #1 Sports Nutrition brand.* We have been trusted for over 35 years, and conducted over 100k quality and safety checks last year in our own production facilities^. ^Source: based on 2022 outputs **Q: Whey protein will make me bulky?** A: False. This is totally untrue, your genetics and your strength training programme dictates how much muscle you build, protein only supports this training. **Q: Whey protein is bad for my health?** A: False. There is absolutely no evidence that whey protein causes any negative health effects in healthy adults. Remember, whey protein comes from cheese making and is a food. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you want a reliable protein powder, this is a solid staple *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 4 August 2026* If you are looking at this protein powder and wondering whether it is a dependable cupboard staple, yes. It is easy to use after training or whenever you want a straightforward protein boost.The flavour is pleasant, it mixes well enough, and the tub size is practical. What I like with a product like this is not having to fight lumps or force it down. It just does the job.My tip would be to add liquid first, then powder, then shake properly. It mixes much better that way. Reliable, easy and five stars. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Add LEAN muscle mass to your body with Optimum Nutrition **** cookies & cream ****** *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 8 June 2012* How did Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Protein improve my training and/or diet?I ran out of whey powder before I bought this tub on Amazon. I have trained several periods in the last years with and without whey protein (replaced shakes with natural protein sources). I personally like the quick absorption of Optimum Nutrition Whey, the flexibility and creativity it adds to my day-to-day activities and the quality of the product. I have barely any other option to quickly get a protein amount while I am juggling my job, my workouts and while I am outside of my house.I personally think this whey protein has very positive effects on my training - I take 1 shake after my workout and (depending on diet/day) 1 shake before going to sleep.(I have gained about 14 lbs of lean muscle mass in the last 11 months of training - 4 day split). I also run 2-3 times a week (approx. 30 minutes).TASTE:I have tried several brands before I discovered Optimum Nutrition. Cookies & Cream is probably too sweet for some consumers, the taste improves if you just mix it with water (milk, juices and the like have too much sweetness already).Mixing with WATER:Using a SMART SHAKER (tm) - mixes OK with water, there are no lumps and the process is quick.If you have further questions please do not hesitate to contact me.Mixing with MILK (low-fat 0.3% milk):Using a SMART SHAKER - mixes really well, taste is excellent. No lumps or issues. If you shake it hard enough there will be a little bit of "foam" on top of your shake which is good.Mixing with fruit juice:I have tried MINUTE MAID Orange Juice - mixing was no problem but I personally didn't like the cookie/cream/orange taste.Mixing/Combining with Quaker Oats (oatmeal/porridge):ON Double Rich Chocolate with oatmeal adds a great taste and makes the oatmeal more appealing. However, there is also a floury side taste (similar to mixing with water alone) which is the only downside. I can live with it.NEGATIVE / ADVERSE effects on body, skin or hair: NONE. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mixes well *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 14 June 2026* The powder is good and is of better quality than the cheap ones, having no chunky bits when shaken.The taste is good, but I got the cookies and cream flavour, and to me it just tastes like vanilla. Milk or water works fine, both taste good ## Frequently Bought Together - Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein Powder, Cookies & Cream, 2 Pound (Packaging May Vary) - Optimum Nutrition Micronized Creatine Monohydrate Powder, Unflavored, 60 Servings, 300 Grams (Packaging May Vary) - VELOMIX -2 Pack- 28 oz Protein Shaker Bottles for Protein Mixes - 2x Wire Whisk | Leak Proof Shaker Cups for Protein Shakes | Protein Shaker Bottle Pack | Shakers for Protein Shakes-Black&Transparent --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/48573886-optimum-nutrition-gold-standard-100-whey-protein-muscle-building-powder](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/48573886-optimum-nutrition-gold-standard-100-whey-protein-muscle-building-powder) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-10-12*
