100% OATS & WHEY
Oats and Whey are fundamental elements of an athlete's diet. Naturally low in sugar, Oats supply slow-burning complex carbohydrates and hunger-filling dietary fiber. Whey proteins are readily digested and provide considerable amounts of essential amino acids (EAAs) – especially the three branched chain amino acids (BCAAs). Our Natural 100% Oats & Whey combines the benefits of these nutritional powerhouses in a smooth, drinkable shake that's quick to prepare and equally easy to clean up after. Each serving packs in 24 grams of all-whey protein and as much fiber as a big bowl of oatmeal. Better yet, it tastes great, and it goes down easy. As the name suggests, Natural 100% Oats & Whey is free of artificial flavors, sweeteners, and synthetic colors. So naturally, it's great for breakfast, after workouts, and any time that you're looking for an on-the-go meal.

BEYOND THE BASICS
- No Artificial Flavors or Sweeteners
- No Synthetic Colors

Wow! This is an awesome product - it tastes great and mixes really well. I tried LOTS of protien powder supplements and this hands down one of the best tasting ones I've tried. Plus, it's all natural, which is an important factor for me b/c there's not a lot of choices out there. I just wish that ON woud make it in a larger size! Amazing stuff!

Great protein, good for right after workouts or just anytime during the day. I had serious mass gains with it added to casein at night. Nothing beats 100% whey protein.

Supplementing with this product alone has led me to incredible strength gains in just two months. I gained 50 lbs on my DB Press max and recently gained 10 lbs on my Bench Press max in one week. I drink it both pre and post workout and I feel like my muscles are full of energy all day.

I have been looking for an all natural whey protein for awhile. Finally i've found it. Optimum Nutrition is the only company that makes it both this gold standard natural 100% whey and their oats and whey protein. I started working out for bulk at 150lbs and in almost a year with just this protein and eating right i've shot up to 174lbs. The chocolate taste great. i highly recommend it

This product was recommended by my local gym. When making my smoothie I was looking for a 100% natural product. I avoid bombarding my body with chemicals, preservatives and try to stay as organic as possible. I find this product to be of very good quality. However, it is a bit sweet for my tastes. I will be switching to Any Whey for my next purchase. The sales clerk at the local retail place is not knowledgable of the products carried. If she had been she would have directed me to Any Whey in the first place because I wanted a product that was natural and did not have any sugars. This was what she recommended and I new to supplementing my diet with Whey Proteins. I like the quality of your products and would recommend them to others. Any Whey will be my next purchase.
PLATINUM HYDROWHEY

Some protein powder tastes like wet cardboard! Not Hydrowhey. I love the Turbo Chocolate! I never have a problem with Hydrowhey clumping up on me. It mixes easy every time. 30g of protein per serving and 8+ grams of BCAA's? There isn't another protein on the market that can come close to touching Hydrowhey. Optimum, you've done it again.

Strawberrylicious!!! I work out 5-6 days a week, and try to get my protein intake from eggwhites, chicken, fish. I am not a fan of Protein Shakes, they make me gag. The shakes i tend to like are high in calories and fat, therefore I don't drink them. I did start using Optimum Nutrition Oats & Whey Vanilla Shake, and luved it... BUT i bought the ON Platinum Strawberry and OHMAGA!!!!!!!!!!! this stuff tatest amazing, like Strawberry Quick. The calories and fat are minimal. I mix 1 scoup with 10 ounces of water and 2 ice cubes in a blender and when its done i literally suck this stuff down.... LUV IT, HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT....... YUM Freaking YUMMY!

This might just be the only product that I have tried that mixes completely ! No clumps, no little grains, nothing. The taste is ok with water but I have yet to try it in shake. I'm pretty sure it will taste good as a peanut-butter, banana, chocolate shake.

I used Pro Complex as my first supplement ever, and within 2 weeks of using it, my weights increased by 10-15 pounds, not only that, but I gained 10 pounds of muscle within the first month and a half. No other protein amounts to Pro Complex, way to go ON.

PRO COMPLEX GAINER

Don't judge a gainer based solely upon its calories per serving. Because when it comes to gaining lean mass, not all calories are created equally. Unlike typical weight-gain formulas that are loaded with simple sugars and fat, Pro Complex Gainer derives a much higher percentage of calories from protein – 7 premium sources of protein to be exact. By also supplying complex carbohydrates, dietary fiber, medium chain triglycerides (MCTs), digestive enzymes, vitamins, essential minerals, and great taste as well, we’ve created the ideal lean gainer. Pro Complex Gainer was made with quality, not quantity in mind. Because we understand that you want to get big, not fat.

BEYOND THE BASICS
- Ultimate LEAN GAINER Formula
- 650 Calories
- Few Sugars7 Superior Proteins Including Whey, Casein, and Egg
- High Protein to Carb Ratio
- Mixes Effortlessly with a Blender, Shaker, or Spoon

This gainer is amazing for people who struggle to put on size. I used one tub and gained about 8 lbs of pure muscle. I went from 145 to 153 and noticed a good amount of size differential. The taste is amazing as well. Great Job ON! Keep up the good work!
100% CASEIN PROTEIN
Sometimes slower is better - especially when it comes to the rate of protein digestion. While rapid protein absorption is desirable immediately before or after exercise, delayed release is probably more beneficial throughout the remainder of the day.
Casein proteins are pH sensitive and gel in the acidic environment of the stomach. As a result, it can take more than twice as long for caseins to be broken-down into their amino acid subcomponents than whey and other proteins. Because of their unique time-released qualities, caseins are aptly described as anti-catabolic or muscle-protecting proteins.

BEYOND THE BASICS
- 24 g of Highly Anti-Catabolic MICELLAR CASEIN
- 10 g of BCAAs, Glutamine, and Glutamine Precursors per Scoop
- AMINOGEN Enhanced

This is such a great addition to your diet. I used to do straight up cottage cheese every night, but after a while I couldn't stand the taste anymore. After I stopped eating cottage cheese I started to plateau also and realized how great casein protein is. I started taking the Optimum casein because of my success with their whey and have had great results. I've been having a scoop nightly for about 2 months now.

cookies and cream taste great, but im sure every flavor is amazing, for a casein protein its mind blowing. great job on, it goes great in ice water like a pudding.

By: Matthew Salamone Date: 25/7/2009
I disagree that ON Casein does not taste good in water. If I am not using Pro Complex before bed, I am using ON 100% Casein. I make it with ice water, and make it like a pudding. I look forward to going to bed early every night just so I can have my Casein. I want a lifetime supply of this stuff, just incredible! ON hits it big again.
NATURAL 100% CASEIN
Rapid protein use is desirable immediately before and after exercise to help refuel recovering muscles, but delayed digestion and absorption may be more beneficial at other times – including bedtime when your body typically goes for hours without food. Casein proteins are sensitive and tend to thicken in the stomach. Because of this, it can take more than twice as long for our Gold Standard Natural 100% Casein to be broken down into its amino acid subcomponents than other proteins. Gold Standard Natural 100% Casein is also free of artificial flavors, sweeteners, and synthetic colors and uses only premium micellar caseins to create a protein that’s truly time-released.

BEYOND THE BASICS
- 24 g of Instantized, Slow-Digesting MICELLAR CASEIN

By: Neil Loughridge Date: 15/1/2009
Great Product but I am not huge on the French Vanilla taste, I hope they come out with the natural vanilla taste like they they have for the 100% Natural Whey Protein (natural vanilla). I mixed 1 scoop of the 100% Natural Casein F.V. with 10oz of milk and it is drinkable, I think it has a true french vanilla taste but I just don't like french vanilla but It'd taste great for those who do. IF anyone tries the chocolate flavored 100% natural casein please post a review on its taste.
