Review: Great Protein if bought original !!! - I was frankly quite sceptical, about this protein considering it's price and alleged greatness, in the starting i.e. before using it. Now it's been about 2 weeks since I've been using this and my one word review is " BEST " whey protein out there. Before buying this i was really afraid about the authenticity of it, since there are many a duplicates out there but the whey which I bought from cloudtail is original for sure. There are many steps to check it's authenticity that I've described below. Pros : Mixes really well really fast, I bought strawberry flavour and it tastes like a frickin' smoothie! Realy good to drink this with milk after workout, haven't used it long enough to comment on its effectiveness, will do after some time. Cons: some people might find it a bit sweet, I do, the strawberry flavour i.e. now to check for it's authenticity : 1. Labels show all the necessary things such as the barcode,QR code, Importers(Bright Commodities) Hologram and details. 2. No spelling mistakes on labels. 3. Mold lines across container should be thin and there should not mold marks (this can be noticed in fake products except the one at the bottom). 4. Tried opening the container without removing the seal and make sure printing of ON' branding on top of lid. 5. At the bottom you should have MFG and EXP date info written in blue ink (preferably written across the mold ) 6. The grain size should be a bit thick, not as thin as Talcum powder as depicted in some other comments here. I checked the original website and reviews from my friends in US, everywhere I found that the original ON Gold Standard 100% Whey is gritty in texture not smooth.
Review: absolutely recommended if considering to buy - This is an excellent product. Remember that no internal seals are present from now on in this from ON themselves officially. It is on a pricier side but atleast one can be sure of quality. Mixing properly with just 1/4th glass of water/milk and then adding remaining water/milk and stirring again will help with solubility. The taste is not too sweet nor too dull and feels like a good product to consume. Will update after a while when notice effects on body. So far its been complementing my lifestyle well.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: guys which is the best flavor...?**
A: Chocolate is loved by all any time. But on the other hand is good because it has natural Color/Flavor of coco powder. But if you consider artificial flavors like Vanilla, Strawberry, Mango or plain, their essence/colouring are light weight and take less space and you get more servings of protein. In india these sellers don't consider or regard all flavors, to avoid responsibility of stocking. So they do the "market me yehi chalta hai" policy. But still Chocolate is recommendable because the color and flavor comes naturally.

**Q: How to know the protein powder are real or fake?? Seeing all the customers reviews,i have a doubt in mind to buy it.**
A: Primary pecan , bright commodities and neulife are the only 3 distributors for optimum nutrition India. 
You can scan QR code and check seal etc. It will.most likely be original because it's on Amazon 
Even then DO NOT buy.
Mine was bright commodities and the bottom half of jar was tampered with. Half of it was fake. 
Products come original from USA but is tampered with in India. Amazon doesn't bother doing anything. So do not risk your health. 
And to check if the product is original or not  check mixability. It should be like bournvita or complan, that is it should mix completely and easily. If you see that it doesn't mix well and forms grains then it's fake
Secondly the taste . This product has a rich chocolatey taste. If it's fake you'll know it. These are the easiest ways to check.

**Q: What rennet is used? animal derived or fungal-derived. and is alcohol used as a solvent during manufacturing?**
A: Dear Customer,

We would like to inform you that it is synthetically and/or fungally derived.

**Q: I am vegetarian so i want to clarify that does it contain any animal product(beef,pork or egg as ingridient)?**
A: Of course its an animal product, Milk doesn't grow on trees.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Different product (old stock) received
*by K***R on 9 March 2020*

ON gold standard has always been a nice product, strawberry flavour is my personal favourite, unfortunately the product, I received is different from the product displayed, the expiry date of the item is different, I ordered a fresh stock but received an old one. It's very unprofessional and irresponsible act from cloudtail and unexpected from a brand like Amazon. Hope to get much improved services and products next time. Thanks
