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.

- The Best!!Review by duncan (29 May 2013)
- This is one of many few products that really guarantees for its worth honestly. When i used this people told me though could see a visible difference within 2 weeks. Only my 2nd time using it and can't wait to combine this with some hard work. Bit pricey, if you can afford it, go for it! Won't be disappointed, there's a reason its Gold Standard.

- Best protein ever!Review by Chad (20 January 2013)
- You want to build muscle? You NEED this after the gym. Stops muscle catabolism and has some extra amino acids packed in there for you. A very good product by a very good brand.
- Excellent Whey ProteinReview by Kickor (11 January 2013)
- I have the Vanilla Flavoured ON 2.2 kg, & its excellent protein supplement.
Unfortunately, the Vanilla flavour is not very good & has a terrible after taste.
Best Whey Protein I've used yet, lean muscle gain visible.
- BEST EVERReview by Renier (25 December 2012)
- This is by far the best whey there is, and in rating around the world is proof thereof. bit pricey at first, but cause of the high standard of this whey, you use less per serving and therefore lasts longer. Must have in your training diet.
- best whey everReview by Yusuf (26 November 2012)
- This is the best whey i have ever used and the results are great as well as the taste money well spent.
