How does this differ to their Gold Standard 100% Whey? Pros and Cons?? Thanks

Platinum Hydro Whey has more protein/serving (6g more, I believe), because it's not just purified protein, but also hydrolyzed. The hydrolyzation process breaks protein down further, which makes it easier and faster to absorb, hence making it more efficient. That being said, I can't tell the difference in results... Probably because I'm not actually an intense athlete, I just work out and I don't like feeling sore so I drink a shake. I think the general consensus, is that Hydro Whey is only really worth the extra money if you're doing some really intense working out. In terms of taste, I detect a little bit of an after taste. I prefer Gold Standard, but Hydro Whey does seem to be creamier/richer. Platinum Hydro Whey has more protein/serving (6g more, I believe), because it's not just purified protein, but also hydrolyzed.

I'm currently drinking the Gold one, but it's my first time trying it. And honestly, I feel both of them the same. I would say the difference is the Platinum has more grams of protein and more BCAA per scoop than the Gold. They say Platinum is thinner so your body breaks it down better which gives you faster results. But Platinum is also a little more expensive than Gold. But yea they both work just as good in my opinion. I'm personally going to keep buying Gold though. You can get a 5lb of Gold for the price of a 3.5lb Platinum.

Hydro whey is strictly hydrolyzed protein peptides which the fastest absorbing protein available. It's sole purpose if for replenishment post workout or to jump start metabolism upon waking in the morning.Goldstandard is a blend of isolates, concentrates, and hydrolyzed peptides, so this protein allows you to take it post workout, upon waking, between meals, with meals, etc etc.. anything but before bed and you get the effects.Go with the gold standard unless you just have the extra money.

Well, the taste of purified whey protein is not that great, at least not for me. So if your son is finicky about taste, he may not like this. The benefit of this protein is that it is supposed to not have additional additives. The juice helps, but it doesn't remove the taste of the protein. This product may be better for adults or teenagers that can get past the taste part and focus on the health benefits. I hope this helps.

Halo its a complete protein. overall its better but depends on what you are focus could be better proteins for you. My only problem with halo is that only comes in 2.2lbs that is only 2 weeks of servings.

I compared it with products sold by our local fitness center. I also compared the vitamin and nutrient content. It is the only one I found that I desired. It does have a little twang to it, but splenda or honey takes care of that. I see the same product sold locally, but price is much better on here.

If you compare the ingredients you can see why it's cheaper. This is made from soy and whey and all the other ingredients I read weren't real food ingredients like Shakeology. You could use it instead, but it will not give you the same nutritional benefits.

I really do not know. I actually lost more weight with whey protein than any other method. Get creative w/flavors using vanilla powder. Works great! (I lost 80 pounds in 5 months w/whey)

You are not paying for the container; it's packaged in a plastic bag. You are not paying for chemical additives, flavorings, sweeteners, etc. You are not paying for heavy-handed marketing hype. If the product is as claimed, it's just pure, grass-fed whey. I won't use anything else. Taste is unexciting but entirely palatable. I drink 20 grams in 6-8 oz water after workouts.

I don't even know. I couldn't even drink a whole shake because it tastes horrible. I now use it when I bake because it's the only way to try to hide the awful taste of it. Seriously if you want some really good protein check out Optimum Gold Standard 100% whey. The Mocha Cappuccino flavor is the best think I've ever drank! Love it!!

Hi, Well I'm not sure on the one pound container as I usually always buy the 2 lb ones. If it helps you the 2 lb is 35 servings Protein17 grms Carbohydrates 6 grms Sugars 4 grms Please keep in mind that a pure Whey Protein Concentrate is lower in protein than the Isolates but is so much healthier for you. If interested I would google differences on whey proteun powders very educational. U love Jarrows Whey and feel its probably one of the cheapest Organic Grass Fed Whey Proteins on the market. Hope this helped?

Hi there, the whey protein is a by-product of making cheese, so it comes from milk. Whey protein isolate, although it's made from dairy, is so pure that it really has no carbs, fat, and no lactose. Isopure basically takes the protein out of the whey (lactose, fat, carbs), so you are left with only protein. Hope this helps a little!

This is actually a difficult question to answer as there is much debate on the topic. Truly, it depends on your goals. If you are in a "Paleo Challenge", you'll want to consult the rules (some people say whey is not paleo because it is derived from milk). However, if you are simply searching for a healthier lifestyle, but you prefer to supplement your protein intake, then whey is a great option. For the active athlete/person on a paleo lifestyle diet, protein intake is as vital as sleeping. Also, in most whey proteins the irritants and allergens found in actual cow's milk have been removed. Whey isolates are preferred by most athletes for the easy access to increased protein versus price. I hope this helps.

Having tried both in the last two months, I can confirm that there are differences. My kids like the taste of both equally, but the standard Animal Parade vitamins taste a little better to me. (But I prefer the Xylitol of the Gold, nutritionally.) More importantly, the Gold vitamins are definitely firmer, less "crumbly," and tougher to chew. I had no worries about my three-year-old's ability to chew the standard Animal Parade, but she definitely has trouble with the Gold version, so these won't work for her.

If you look at the ingredients on the container they are showing it says whey isolate. But if you look in the description of product it lists whey concentrate first, then isolate. The picture is of the old product. This is not pure whey isolate! Have you tried Trim Healthy Mama brand?

So, the fit & trim is soy based, so its not going to be as smooth. The pure whey is definitely better (especially when blended!) I recommend the almond flavor (also add almond milk to cut down the calories!) The praline was OK.

It's whey as in from a cow. (Milk based) the ingredients are clean. I'm sensitive to a lot of artificial junk and I find this to be very easy in the stomach and digestive system. Ingredients are certified whey protein from cows that are graze on organic pastures.

good question. honestly i'm not sure but I don't believe much of Dr. Mercola's claims--he said on his website his whey protein had 1 or 2 ingredients but it doesn't, he preaches organic--the whey protein isn't USDA certified organic. If he said its was rBGH/rBST hormone free not sure I'd believe it.

Yes, it is clean/pure. I absolutely LOVED this whey protein. I don't suggest mixing it in water only. I couldn't stomach that. But it works great in pretty much everything else. It is as pure as pure gets :)
