Why does Optimum Nutrition have different sizes for flavours?
Each serving must contain 24 grams of protein.
Serving size varies on the amount of flavouring and colouring needed.
ON tries to fill the tubs to the nearest 900 grams.
For example, if an extra serving of Cookies and Cream was added, it would increase the servings to 29 but the tub weight would then become 928 grams (896 grams + 32 grams).
This would then increase logistics costs.

- ExcellentReview by Clark Kent (2 February 2024)
- For all the heavy weightlifting I get up to, ON is the best goto, to begin recovery. I've been using it for 3 years now and don't plan on switching. It's an internationally trusted brand which brings an ease of mind.

- Not goodReview by Ex (16 July 2019)

- It worksReview by Tyzer (25 March 2019)
- It's really works,you can start seeing the results in just two weeks
- SublimeReview by Rambo (21 November 2018)
- This is by far the best protein I've tried, mixes really well without any lumps, taste isn't overwhelming nor does it make u nauseous. I bought the 4.5kg and I'm super happy with it. Going to try a new flavour this time so I'm going for a smaller one. The protein is super effective after one month of using it , it increases definition, hardens your muscles and helps you recover . Although its ridiculously pricey , I am happy with it and will continue to use it till I find something better. After all it's your health and body and I only want what is best . Quality over quantity.
