Product Description
Platinum Hydrowhey is the fastest, purest, most advanced whey protein we've ever developed. In a word: excellence. By hydrolyzing the protein in this premium formula we've created our fastest-acting whey protein yet.

For added effectiveness, we've also enhanced this revolutionary formula with digestive enzymes and micronized branched chain amino acids (BCAAs). In addition to being fast, Platinum Hydrowhey is also ultra-pure. That's because it's made entirely with hydrolyzed whey protein isolates. So there's no excess fat, cholesterol, or lactose to slow down your progress.

Optimum Nutrition Platinum Hydro Whey, Velocity Vanilla, 1.75 Pound Reviews
| 53 of 54 people found the following review helpful  A very specialized protein powder, By This review is from: Optimum Nutrition Platinum Hydro Whey, Turbo Chocolate, 3.5 Pound (Health and Beauty) To start off with, this is an excellent product, though most folks probably don't need it. This whey protein is made up almost entirely of hydrolysated protein - which basically means it has been pre-digested into peptides and small chain proteins. A few years back, pure amino acid mixes were all the rage amongst strength training athletes. Then scientists figured out that single amino acids were not absorbed very efficiently by the body. Basically the receptors in the intestines can only accept one unit of protein at a time. This one "unit" can be a singular amino acid, or it can be a di or tri-peptide bonded amino acid. Effectively, by consuming these peptides you can absorb protein 2-3 times faster than you could by consuming straight amino acids. You also absorb this product much faster than a whole protein since the body has to break down whole protein with enzymes in the stomach. This process can take hours with whole food proteins (meat). Whole whey protein is broken...

A little under 1 scoop 2x/day helps me keep my hard earned muscle mass. This Platinum appears to be marketed as higher quality/more effective protein, so I thought I'd try it out, even though the smaller 3.5 lb tub immediately made me suspicious of its value.First of all, the chocolate that I bought tastes fantastic and mixes great. But in comparison to the Whey Gold product, I feel the Platinum is a marketing gimmick and a product that mostly just increases profits for this company without really adding value to the consumer. Why is that? The most obvious trick that I didn't catch when comparing the two before buying: Scoop size/protein in grams. Andy Rooney always complains about this type of thing, so I guess he is my mentor in this case... Whey Gold: 1 scoop = 24 grams protein. Platinum: 1 scoop = 30 grams protein. So you figure you are getting more protein for your buck, right... Read more 16 of 17 people found the following review helpful Best Protein Shake for People with Lactose Intolerance, By T. C. (USA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Optimum Nutrition Platinum Hydro Whey, Turbo Chocolate, 3.5 Pound (Health and Beauty) I am extremely lactose intolerant and have been looking for a protein shake that does not make me sick for a long time. After purchasing this shake, I can gladly say I've found it!Being extremely lactose intolerant, I often tend to get sick from things that taste like milk, even though the lactose content is minimal. This shake has a strong milk taste, which is the only negative thing about it. But, I decided not to mark it down as all protein shakes have a strong milk taste, and because you can easily go around the milk taste by mixing it with Gatorade powder or crystal light on the go packs (sugar-free). Without mixing it with something else, however, I can't drink it. If you do not like a milk taste, then I'd recommend you get the Strawberry flavor as you can easily mix it with out flavors... not so much with the Chocolate or Vanilla flavor. The best thing about this shake is that it really doesn't contain any lactose (other's say they contain zero grams, but... Read more |
