Research on Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein

Many studies have examined the effects of whey protein on muscle strength and recovery post-workout. A study published in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition found that consuming whey protein post-exercise resulted in increased muscle protein synthesis and improved recovery compared to other protein sources. Another study published in Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise showed that whey protein helped increase muscle mass and strength in older adults. These research findings support the use of Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein as an effective supplement for muscle support and recovery after training.

Building and Maintaining Muscle Mass

One of the benefits of Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein is its high protein content. Each serving provides 24 grams of protein, which is essential for building and maintaining muscle mass. The protein in the whey protein powder is also of high quality and has a complete amino acid profile, including branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), which are crucial for muscle protein synthesis and recovery.

Support for Endurance and Recovery

Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein also contains 5.5 grams of naturally occurring BCAAs per serving. BCAAs are amino acids that play an important role in muscle protein synthesis and can help prevent muscle breakdown during exercise. Having adequate levels of BCAAs can also help improve endurance and recovery post-workout.
