Look at the number one ingredient first when choosing a protein powder. Number one here is maltodextrin. It's understandable, as this is a "gainer" but you're paying to take a shortcut diet wise. It's a high glycemic index carb filler and where most of the calories come from. The body absorbs it quickly, spiking your insulin level enough to be anticatabolic, but you could easily find a good whole food carb source to replace this. Maltodextrin is just like sugar and the body will store it as fat if there aren't muscles that need glycogen. Also check out the serving size, one heaping scoop might seem reasonable, but grab a kitchen scale and you'll find that it requires closer to 2 mostly full scoops to equal one serving of 165 grams of this stuff. It felt like the bag was lasting longer than the claimed 28 servings, so I measured it out on the scale and found I've been getting maybe 75% of the serving I thought I was intaking. You're honestly better off eating a fruit for carbs and using ON's normal whey and casein protein, both excellent products. If you do decide to buy this as a shortcut, don't take a whole serving at once...30 min prior to working out, take 83 grams of this (3/4 scoop), and immediately after working out, take the remaining 83 grams to equal the whole serving. It works better than just smashing all of it afterwords. (Was this review of use to you? If so, let me know by clicking "Helpful." "Like" Cheers!)

Customer reviews
I recently tried Gold Standard Pro Gainer in Double Chocolate, and I absolutely love it! The quality is outstanding, with carefully selected ingredients that support muscle recovery and growth. The taste is amazing—rich, creamy, and not overly sweet, making it super enjoyable whether mixed with water or milk. The texture is smooth, and it doesn’t feel heavy on the stomach. I also love that it comes in different size options to fit my needs. The protein-to-carb ratio is perfect for fueling my workouts, and the sturdy packaging keeps everything fresh. Definitely a great buy for anyone looking to build mass effectively!
This protein shake tastes good and mixes smoothly without clumps. It’s easy to drink and doesn’t feel heavy or chalky. I use it after workouts or as a quick snack, and it keeps me full without upsetting my stomach. Overall, good quality and I’m happy with my
use essential amino acids for muscle rehydration and energy source during my training. this product has a great taste so refreshing. I benefited alot from it and I can notice it too. also what I noticed in pro gainer that it is light on the STOMACH and have a high protein content, so if you are looking to gain wait in a proper way this your product. the size is enough for 4 weeks.

The product is very good and really useful. The delivery was excellent, and the packaging was great. Size also is good and taste and quality
Good quality . I loved it, best protein ever!!!!! Despite if you cutting or bulking or even a busy individual who can't eat meals to get your protein intake. This is 650 calories and above 50 g of protein and around 80ish g of carbs. That's like a whole meal and taste crazy good for the calories.
The product has great quality and comes in a well-sealed package. The size is generous and matches the description. Easy to use and gives noticeable results with consistent use. Very satisfied and will definitely repurchase.
