To create GOLD STANDARD 100% ISOLATE, we start by selecting only the highest quality whey protein which undergoes a series of sophisticated filtration processes to ‘isolate’ out excess fat, cholesterol, and sugar. A portion of this Whey Protein Isolate is then hydrolyzed – broken down into smaller chains of amino acids. The final product is a fast-digesting complete protein containing no more than 1 gram of carbohydrates, less than a gram of fat, and more than 80% pure protein per Serving.
