## Questions & Answers

**Q: How does this differ to their Gold Standard 100% Whey? Pros and Cons?? Thanks**
A: The main difference is that the Hydrowhey is a hydrolyzed protein, meaning the long chain polypeptides are enzymatically broken down into smaller peptides (likely di- and tri-peptides which are then more efficiently and completely digested and absorbed in the small intestine. Pros: More efficient absorption. Quicker absorption. Cons: Higher cost.My personal experience is that I can consume full serving, 30 grams, of this protein and have no GI difficulties e.g. excessive flatulence. Whenever I take full serving of a regular whey protein =or> 30grams I get some GI issues. I rarely take a full serving though. I shoot for 20 grams per serving, that works best into my lifestyle and extends the life of the product. I feel that 20grams of this product equates to 30-40grams of standard proteins. Professionally, I believe it makes a much better pre- and post workout addition than others. Adding some chocolate syrup to promote blood sugar spike and insulin response post workout is a total benefit.

**Q: I have this product but it is expired! should I use it or but the new one? it has been expired for 4 months!**
A: I first purchased this product back in 2014 or 2015. Got about half way through it, then packed it up and moved. 5 years later, just now getting back into lifting, and found the container I purchased 5 years ago or so. It was well past expiration, tasted just as good as I remembered it, and I feel fine.

I've since repurchased it, and the new stuff tastes just the same. I wouldn't worry about 4 months.

**Q: I see few people have asked the same question: Does this have lactose? I'd like to add that on the back it says product contains milk, so...**
A: It has added lactase enzyme, which breaks down lactose. Wiki it. It’s the same enzyme added to “lactose free” milk. You should not have any issues with this product if you’re lactose intolerant.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Working well for me so far...
*by T***Z on June 25, 2026*

I was concerned about this product after reading some 1+ star reviews regarding lack of anti tampering packaging and quality of Hydrowhey. I bought Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein Powder from Amazon 10 times up until 2019. After that, I bought it in bags from Costco for years and never had an issue in either case. I started developing lactose intolerance within the past year and started taking 1-2 9000 FCC lactase pills before drinking a serving which worked for many months... but then stopped. I decided to try Optimum Hydrowhey as a hopefully lower lactose alternative. The tub did arrive with a paper type seal attached when I removed the lid. Some tiny partial holes did appear on the seal when I removed it. I wouldn't exactly call it tamper proof... but it's better than nothing. The expiration date was stamped as 4/16/2028... which is fine by me. I tried emailing Optimum Nutrition a few days ago concerning this storefront and their product... haven't heard back yet. I tried calling their support line which played a short message and hung up on me. Hydrowhey doesn't taste chalky, have an issue dissolving, or have any abnormal odor... it tasted fine to me. I just bought a 2nd one... same expiration date. So far, it isn't bothering my stomach (I still take it with lactase). As you are probably aware, the price of whey protein has skyrocketed over the past year or two. Most articles claim this is a supply/demand issue related to increased demand by 'tons' of people using GLP-1 products. I imagine that a lot of companies are reformulating their brands to keep a less expensive price point. The price of Hydrowhey is a bit steep... but if it works, I'll stick with it. I don't care for soy, pea or rice protein. I can't comment on the heavy metal content of Platinum Hydrowhey... it would help if large manufacturers would institute 3rd party batch testing.
