Optimum Nutrition or “ON” has given great products to the fitness Industry. All the supplements produced by “Optimum Nutrition” are favorite among serious gym freaks and no one wants to replace ON supplements with anything else. Over the past years, “Optimum Nutrition” proved itself the best in manufacturing the high quality and result oriented products in the global market and as the market of supplement industry is evolving, “ON” also started focusing on bringing better supplements to their users with affordable price tag.
“WHEY 100% protein By ON” is the new topic of discussion among the fitness enthusiast these days. This new product is not only better and different but has also been introduced with bigger promises to anybody who seeks “Value for Money” when buying a supplement.
The qualities of the new comer
- This product is 100% Protein Whey this means there is not even a single pinch of protein from another source.
- It has been derived from Cow’s milk.
- This is an Ultra Filtered Product and this is the reason it mixes well, even with a spoon rather than using a blender.
- One scoop of 31 grams contains 22 grams of Protein, 1 gm sugar, and 1 gm fat.
- You get 1.85 lbs / 839 grams for a price of 1999 on amazon.in
- There are 27 Servings per container, which means there is 594 gm of Protein in a container.

Let us now compare this product with one of the most popular ON manufactured Gold Standard
| Weight | Price on Amazon | Scoops per container | Quantity per scoop | Protein per scoop | Protein per container | Price of per gram of protein | |
| Gold standard | 2 lbs / 907 grams | 2950 | 28 | 31.5 grams | 24 | 672 grams | 4.38 INR |
| On Whey | 1.85 lbs / 839 grams | 1999 | 27 | 31 grams | 22 | 594 grams | 3.36 INR |
As the figures and facts speak On whey is cheaper than the ON Gold Standard. The price difference is 1.30 rupees which is quite impressive. This shows how an improved product can help us attain better result in gym at a nominal price.
Major visible difference: On Gold Standard contains 5.5 grams of BCAA, over 4 grams of Glutamine and Glutamic acid. Whereas the new product by ON miss these “SO CALLED” added values. As the trend suggest, no company should put any extra items in their products or supplements like BCAAs and Glutamine etc. This will make their product more pure and solo also enabling the buyers to make their own choice about buying BCAAs and Glutamine etc separately. Solo products are considered more genuine and cost effective.
One might feel it economical to see BCAAs and Glutamine in their Whey Protein Pack, with a little price difference of 1.30 rupees, where as there are some others who like to see “Whey protein” when they have paid for “Whey protein”. They do not want to see anything extra in their supplement box.
It is a common belief among many gym freaks that company stacks various unnecessary items like BCAAs and Glutamine in the Whey Protein Pack to increase the weight of the container and to cut the cost so they could earn more profit on each pack, as BCAAs and Glutamine are quite cheaper than the actual processed high grade protein (good quality content of protein).
Other points about the product before you decide what to do
Where there are all the positive points one should also search for some negative points before making a decision about spending hard earned cash. In this product, one should buy a smaller pack of 1.85 lbs from amazon to see how well it works on an individual. If it really works well (as already some users have accepted) then one can take a step further to buy a bigger pack or in bulk.
In country like India where there are so many Indian and foreign companies providing promising protein powders, one should consider the brand very seriously when the monetary difference between the products is very little. You should not buy a pair of local brand shoes for 1000 rupees when you can buy Nike for 1200 rupees. Brand matters when buying shoes so it should matter more when you are going to eat/ drink something.
Every whey protein has got the Amino Acid profile where amino Acids like glutamine and BCAAs are also available. One should understand that the protein, after consumption, would be converted into Amino Acids to provide recovery. So never get confused about added BCAAs and Glutamine, they are already present in the WHEY.
Conclusion
Now the decision is yours, what you want to buy, what you want to give to your body after spending your precious time, energy and your 100% in the gym lifting weights and killing yourself under the pressure of motivation of having a better physique.
Would you still look for cheaper product in the market, or you would like to buy something with added BCAAs and Glutamine just because the price difference is minimal of 1.30 rupees or you want purest form of Cow milk derived WHEY PROTEIN, because you don’t want to see a “Gram” of anything else?
The choice is yours because the health is yours, the time spent in the gym is yours and the money which you are going to spend is also yours.
