Ingredients and Usage Recommendations: ON Gold Standard Gainer by Optimum Nutrition is a premium mass gainer supplement crafted for athletes and active individuals aiming to increase muscle mass, strength, and caloric intake in a clean, efficient manner. Unlike many traditional gainers that rely heavily on sugar and inferior protein sources, Gold Standard Gainer provides a balanced macronutrient profile based on quality proteins, complex carbohydrates, and healthy fats. Each serving delivers 55 g of high-quality protein, including whey protein isolate, milk protein isolate, and hydrolyzed whey, combined with 110 g of carbohydrates sourced from oats, pea starch, and potato starch, with added fats from flaxseed and chia. The result is a lean mass gainer that supports muscle growth, glycogen replenishment, and performance without overloading the body with sugar or filler calories. This 1.62 kg format offers a convenient short-cycle supply for those testing the product or using it during focused training blocks. Ingredients (listed by weight in Latin, descending order):
Isolatum Proteinae Serum Lactis (Whey Protein Isolate)
Cacao Processus (Processed Cocoa – in chocolate flavors)

You may also mix it with oats, nut butter, fruit, or yogurt to create a high-calorie smoothie. Storage: Keep tightly sealed in a cool, dry place. Do not expose to heat or moisture.
