    Uhm, ON 100% whey Gold Standard is an isolate .......

    ON is a blend. It can only contain 50% or more isolate, since isolate is listed first in the ingredient list.
    Serving size 33 grams. Protein 24 grams.
    Isopure is a 100% Isolate.
    Serving size 29 grams. Protein 26 grams.

    9 grams vs 3 grams

    That's not how the ingredient list works. But, still, yes it is a blend.
    Really? I was always told it is listed in order from main ingredient to last. When it says blend, the first type is the main type, so it has to be at least 50% of the blend to be the main. So when you get a concentrate listed first, you never know if you're getting 1% isolate or 49%.

    It is from first to last, but there's no need for the first ingredient to be 50% or more. If you have 3 ingredients, one could be 40%, the 2nd could be 35%, and the last 25%. If you have a dozen ingredients, the first could be, say, 15% of the total.
    I gotcha. You mean of the total ingredients. I meant just within the blend.

    It depends, is that a heaping glass?

    the label on my Optimum Nutrition products specifies "heaping scoop". A level scoop will be less than the serving size

    Mine specifies a level scoop. But I use Trutein, so maybe it's different?

    I almost lost the scoop the other day and I was freaking out! How else would I know how much powder to use?

    Trutein FTW

    I gotcha, but it is still one of the better whey's on the market IMO. As it IS 75% protein per scoop .....You just made it sound as though it was not a good protein powder ......

    9 grams vs 3 grams
