Optimum Nutrition Platinum Hydrowhey Protein Powder, 100% Hydrolyzed Whey Isolate Powder, Flavor: Velocity Vanilla, 3.5 Pounds (Packaging May Vary)

I’ve gone through multiple different brands and types of whey protein powder over 6-7 years and nothing holds a candle to this. The flavor is unremarkable and inoffensive. The macros are great compared to some other carb-heavy protein powders out there. But most importantly this powder has given me exactly zero side effects compared to others. While I am not lactose intolerant, I experience bloating and get acne breakouts when having 2+ scoops a day of most whey protein powders, but this one came without any of those issues. The only issue is how expensive it is but I’m more than willing to pay the premium and I don’t see myself ever buying a different type or brand of whey in the future.

Digests really fast which is a huge pro for me. I have been taking this protein powder for a long time however, the price seems to be raising gradually for some reason. Please keep price REASONABLE!

Hydrolyzed whey protein is partially digested and it tastes awful, thats just how it is. If you buy a hydrolyzed whey protein that doesnt taste terrible, its because it contains very little hydrolyzed whey. Hydrolyzed whey has a powerful muscle building effect because of its bioavailability and because its insulinotropic and will create lean muscle much better than any other protein source. (hydrolyzed collagen or collagen peptides also has similar benefits) Optimum Nutrition Hydrolyzed Whey tastes like it should, but not as good as other protein powders made from lesser protein. Hope they keep making it, but reviewers seem to be put off by the flavor. Mix it with another protein powder and some milk to take the edge off the flavor.

Tiene un sabor extraño, nose si sea de un químico, pero deja un sabor a especia en la boca,lo que hago es echarle mas chocolate para que no sepa tanto a eso, fuera de eso creo que esta bien.

Just a quick flavor review. Im coming over from Muscle Milk. I usually drink Natural Vanilla or Cookies & Cream with Muscle Milk. I just tried the Velocity Vanilla from Optimum Nutrition Hydrowhey and its not very good at all. I actually enjoy the Muslce Milk flavor but this is pretty bad tasting. On the plus side, Its only 1 scoop so ill live with it. I may try chocolate next time. Muscle Milk: 2 scoops, 280 Cal, 32g Protien Optimum Nutrition Hydrowhey: 1 scoop, 140 calories, 30g Protien

6 months ago Hydrowhey was 59.75. now they increased the weight by .1 lbs and increased the price by $25. i like hydrowhey, but not that much

100 DOLLARS? I’ve been using this for 5 year and this price jump is absolutely ridiculous for 3.6lbs. I was already struggling justifying $70. No more for me at this rate.

I’m sure the protein powder is great, just not for me.

Ive used whey protein isolate supplements for over 20 years, including all the Major Brands, NB isopure, optimum nutrition, dymatize. NB isopure was my go to supplement for many years, but got a couple of batches that tasted off. Tried optimum nutrition and dymatize, both were ok. I do not seem to have any problem digesting whey isolate, but thought I would see if there was a difference with a hydrolyzed version. I cannot tell the difference, this tasted OK, but clumped to a little bit which is disappointing, and required a lot of stirring in to get it fully mixed. If you have trouble digesting whey isolate, you might give this a try to see if the hydrolyzed process helps you. Otherwise, it is not worth the premium price. ps the vanilla version mixes very well, but again not worth the premium price unless it digests more easily for you

So far so good. Still in my first batch ordered my second already. Been a long time consumer of the ON Gold one and decided to give this one a try. I am going to give you my honest feedback. The taste ? It’s actually better than Gold and it’s better mixed with water rather than milk. Coz it gets coagulated for some reason with milk and I know a lot of folks said the mixability is great and that Holds good only if you mix it with water so avoid milk and it tastes great. It does feel kinda full after I have the shake unlike with the Gold one. But you know what’s the best positive I do feel a difference in recovery time after heavy and intensive workouts. I think I have less body strains and my body feels refreshed the next day and I remember the ON Gold one never gave me such an instant impact. I would rate it as the best ever protein I have had till date but the 4 stars is only coz it’s not actually great mixing with any kind of milk ( tried peas , soy and Zero fat organic milk ) and not exactly fart free. Hahaha but I don’t care coz I feel the results and get the desired impact from what I need for my body!
