FAQs
What is whey protein?
Whey protein is the most popular protein supplement. It is made from the leftover liquid from the yoghurt and dairy cheese manufacturing process.
After it goes through several processes to improve the protein content concentration, it is dried to create whey concentrate or whey isolate.
Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard uses both types in its protein powder, making it purer than other powders on the market.

Do you need to go to the gym to take protein powder?
Absolutely not – protein powder is an excellent way to ensure you get enough protein in your body. It can also help prevent protein deficiencies.
However, protein shakes help with muscle growth. If you do not have torn muscles that the protein needs to rebuild, your body will store the excess protein as fat.
Most people who do not exercise get all the protein they need through a healthy, balanced diet.
But when do you do exercise hard, your protein requirements increase, which is where a protein shake could be beneficial to you.

How much protein do I need each day?
Every day, adults need approximately 0.75g of protein per kilo of body weight.
This roughly equates to 45g for the average woman and 55g for the average man.
However, your daily recommended protein intake all depends on your weight and activity levels.
Active adults who are looking to gain muscle mass may need more than this to see the best results.
