   The product comes with ziplock pack but the ziplock doesn’t even stay for 30days . Ziplock has bad build quality and it breaks in 10-15 open/closings. Atom you need to come with better packing else I am moving to different brand .

   This is my first protein that I have ordered. There were various negative reviews on Youtube about the taste and mixeability. I tried the chocolate flavour tastes which was excellent. The consistency is good, no lumps and gives a smooth creamy texture. The sweetness is also good. You will see lumps if you drink with milk, but it gets better if it’s mixed in a mixer. I just tried one packet so hard to say the effectiveness, but would definitely try it again.

   It is good protein supplement but will provide better results if taken with Glutamine and other required supplements for muscle gain.

    When will I start seeing results?This is the bitter truth, Protein supplements would help you <20% to reach your fitness goals. Your everyday workout helps you about another 30% and the rest is your daily diet as to how you maintain yourself eating healthy. You’re not going to get fitter staying home and just having 3 protein smoothies a day.From somewhere I had once read, you don’t buy protein protein supplements till you are regular at the gym working out and eating healthy for at least 90 days. Once those two habits are accomplished, buy protein supplements, and you will see results.Are protein supplements necessary?This question is debatable but it all comes down to how much protein is in your everyday diet. If you’ve enough protein in your diet, no need obviously. From a personal perspective, I would avoid processed food like protein supplements any day, if I can consume enough protein through my diet (egg, milk, meat etc)Health Benefits/ IssuesIt is always advisable to take protein in their natural form (Milk, Egg, Meat, etc), but with a vegetarian diet that could be challenging. Rule of thumb with supplements is DO NOT go overboard – DO NOT take more than 2 scoops in 24 hours, but personally, if you’re not aiming for the Olympics, I suggest to start with 1 scoop a day so that you go easy on your body. In addition, you MUST drink a lot of water when taking protein supplements. From a lecture of Dr Tara Swart of MIT Sloan, your body requires 500ml of water for every 30lb (13.6 Kg) of your weight in a day to function normally.Smoothie recipe = 1 scoop (Chocolate) + 1 Avacado + Banana + 200ml Almond Milk + Ice Cubes in a Blender .PLEASE NOTE: Insufficient water intake can give you Stomach pain/ Abdominal Pain with protein supplements. NOT to be considered professional/medical advice. This review is based on personal experience. Protein supplements are to be considered with caution.H9

    I WILL GIVE THE FULL REVIEW POINT BY POINT (with attached Photos). ENJOY AND KEEP READING, YOU WON’T BE DISAPPOINTED.Just to clarify and to be honest, this is the first time I’m using a Whey protein, not just the brand but Whey protein itself. Though, I was very skeptical about the purchase after reading so many reviews about the product being fake, I still decided to order it.ABOUT THE JAR/TUB (AUTHENTICITY CHECK from the outside): There was a strong chocolate smell on the outside of the jar already. I checked the bottom of the jar and the tub looked normal. Mfd and Exp date had exactly 2 years gap. I did not find any tampering marks whatsoever.There was the “ON Authentic seal” on the neck band. I checked everything thoroughly before opening it. The QR code on the jar itself led me to product page of Optimum Nutrition website.The QR code on the importer sticker led me to Bright Commodities authenticity checking page. I scratched the Importer sticker for the hidden code and entered all the details and it said that the product is authentic.After opening the jar, I did find the seal attached on the lid.The jar was kind of half filled, not up to the brim. (Doubt 1)I also found the golden scoop with the branding on it and Made in USA written inside the scoop along with some other details.SMELL, CONSISTENCY AND TEXTURE OF THE POWDER: The power smelled nice and the texture was normal I think (First time user), not clumpy or anything.No stickiness at all, the powder did not stick to the inside of the jar. (Authenticity checking method found somewhere online)One thing that I noticed was that, the powder had some white particles in it. (Doubt 2)Now, to clear out my doubts I called 011-49594959 which was Glanbia Performance Nutrition. I followed the instructions given by the IVR and asked about my doubts. The customer executive was helpful enough and told that “The product is 100% authentic. The jar is supposed to be filled half way and the white particles are ‘Amino Acids’.”I was satisfied with all the authenticity checking and all.TASTE: Though it smelled really chocolaty, the taste was just okay. According to me, it had a medicinal taste to it.Consistency was okay, not thick at all, it might just be the amount of water I added. (1 full scoop in one glass of water)MIXABILITY: It mixed with the water fairly easily. Found 1 tiny lump, and by “tiny” I really mean tiny, most of the people won’t even notice it probably. I noticed it because I was trying to find lumps intentionally. Now, keep in mind that I did not use a shaker, it was simply stirred with a spoon in a glass. I did not even stir vigorously. So, mixability is good I think.RATING: Now, talking about the rating, I gave it a 4* just because the taste was okay.

    I recived ON GOLD STANDARD 2LB DOUBLE RICH CHOCOLATE on 19th November from cloudtail seller which is a near expiry product. When I call customer care for return pickup they recived my request but nobody came for pickup. I do the same procedure continuesly 5 day & on each day I receive a SMS that ur pickup has been canceled. The customer care has no control on Amazon logistic team or they both (seller, customer care, logistic) are clubbed with each other to harassing the customer. I request the each customer of Amazon please don’t buy any Nutrition product from Amazon bcz if u receive any damage or near expiry product ur product will never pick for return, so beaware before buying Nutrition product from Amazon

    Package quality of instruction sticker very bad for India manuf double chocolate flavour, looks compromised for cost when compared to imported. I hope similarly the inner content of protein powder is not compromised. Difficult to say now. Compromise is evident on brand sticker which in itself is a proof that there may be compromise on quality for more profits, as the local manuf and plus is still same price, then why consumers to buy localised product with quality compromise. We may buy some other brand which is imported as In india the food quality checks cannot be trusted and stringent as USA quality. Very bad, now we can’t trust the system authentication as the system authenticated product itself looks compromised. Manufactured in India was hidden by a sticker for some reason I don’t know why. So it seems Optimum Nutrition wants just profits on his brand and any Tom Dick Harry will manuf in india.

    Am using ON product since last 1 yr and well known abt it’s quality. But this time I got fake product, it doesn’t get absorb easily and doesn’t dissolve in water completely. Product is double rich chocolate, but there is no chocolate taste at all. Since I started using this I have lost 1.5 kg even following other things as it is. Which again clearly shows the product as fake. Also my body doesn’t look that pumped like it used to earlier.

    Get only if you like dark chocolate. I was literally 3/4th inti the bottle that I got hang of the taste. But I would not get this ever again.I have been consuming ON protein for quite sometime now. But I had issues digesting this time. I am going to try plant based protein now.If you are a beginner, I suggest try pea plant based protein.

    First of all I’m a big fan of Optimum Nutrition. I’m using their products since 2014.Attached screenshots are comparison of their old formula and new formula. You guys can see the difference.I had weight lifting gap be for few years due to my career. I recently started lifting again. I just bought this product and it gave me digestive issues the next day.Then I checked the formula and compared it with my old boxes and find out they have completely removed the digestive enzymes. It’ll be difficult for lactose intolerant people.They have removed aminogen (patened enzyme) and lactase from their formula. Due to this many people could have digestive issues such as gas, bloating, gut irritability etc. especially for ibs people.Tip:- take it with banana and fiber you’ll feel better.

    Puja Jagtap – July 13, 2028

    The quality of Indian products doesn’t really match the quality of imported units. Imported ones taste 10 times better and mixes really well.They keep mentioning that they maintain high quality standards of manufacturing(which is true in case of the US, UK manufacture) but that’s not the case with the product manufactured in India.Yes, the units we receive now are manufactured in India by Tirupati Lifesciences. But the quality doesn’t seem to be as great as it was before.And we pay the same price for this as we did for imported units.ON should look into this quality issue for its international manufacturing.We pay a very good amount and we deserve best quality.

    I still didn’t see any growth whatsoever and I also feel like consuming this makes me more lazy and lethargic.I’ve never been so sluggish and unproductive. Also tastes disgusting too bad there was no other flavor available and this was my first experience with this product, it makes me puke sometimes. Also you need to either use blender or shake it pretty hard, the spoon does not mix it at all.

    Vertigo is dizziness that creates the false sense that you or your surroundings are spinning or moving. This may be associated with nausea, vomiting, sweating, or difficulties walking.The cardboard box in which the product was delivered was absolutely damaged but the product was genuine on ON’s site. It seems to me that the box was cut and then again sealed back at the bottom. 60-80g of the sample is enough to induce swaying sensations. I still have the powder, will probably throw down the drain or toilet.
