A great product. I can't see myself changing brands (or flavours - the peanut butter and chocolate is amazing) any time soon. I don't want to comment on the effectiveness of the product because you never know what other factors are playing a part in your progress (creatine, diet, effort etc), but it's fair to say I am happy with how (and how quickly) my body is taking shape and I use this product immediately after every workout. Draw your own conclusions from that.

Superb quality and while it appears to be a huge tub is great value., 27 Nov. 2015

I train every day. My goal was to be off diabetes medicine in three months flat. That required me to do a lot of aerobics and strength training. But I also needed to be light. This allowed that to be achieved easily. I have tried strawberry, vanilla, double chocoalte and the chocolate mint chip. The vanilla does taste like vanilla ice cream, but I find it a bit heavy, the strawberry hurt my throat, the double chocolate is great in milk or water. But I find the mint chocolate chip the best, since it is the most light. But I got this on a lightning deal , when I needed more whey protein, so I cannot fault it.

Fake - dispatched and sold by Amazon, 31 July 2015

Hi all,

After reading all the reviews I know 100% that I had a fake version, just to double check - if you look at the images on the main page it doesn't contain the authenticity hologram next to true strength. Is this correct?

I have reasons to believe that this protein powder was fake - not original. This has nothing to do with the actual official Optimum Nutrition powder - which in itself is really good.

Here are my findings on the 908gr. I also have the bigger version which tastes different and has the seal on the package.

What I found out:

1. The inside seal was loose - which prevents moist.

2. Scoop is golden whereas Optimum Nutrition uses a translucent scoop

3. The QR code takes you to a Youtube page - whereas it should take you to a an official product description page

4. Taste was different from before

5. Missing Authentic seal from Optimum Nutrition.

6. Nutrition facts are incorrect - it should be 24...
