Optimum Nutrition Platinum Hydrowhey 3.5lbs Product Description
Product DescriptionPlatinum Hydrowhey from Optimum Nutrition is one of the fast-acting, purest and most technologically advanced whey protien isolates on the market today. It's hard to find a protein shake that is purer than this - the hydrolysed whey proteins have been isolated, removing excess lactose, cholesterol, carbs and fat, leaving just a rapidly digestable muscle buildling shake that guarantees you fast results that you can really see and feel.
How does it work?
Optimum Nutrition hydolyse the whey (breaks the protein down into smaller beneficial fragments), which means it's more readily absorbed and utilised by the human body, making it a rapid and effective protein shake. In essence, this means that, if consumed straight after a workout, this shake provides your muscles with the building materials they need, in a form that can be quickly used at the time when they're most in demand.
Furthermore, Optimum Nutrition have added additional BCAAs and Digestive Enzymes to further enhance the overal effectiveness. And because the protein is 100% ultra-pure, there are no hidden nasties like cholesterol, fat or latose to jeopardise your ultimate strength and size goals.

Directions for use

Stacking
For optimal gains, Optimum Nutrition Platinum Hydro Whey can be stacked with other products to seriously boost the effectiveness of these shakes. Anyone looking to develop some serious size and strength should do the following:
Morning: Platinum Hydrowhey shake and multivitamins, as your body needs vitamins and minerals in order to effectively utilise protien, carbohydrates and healthy fats.
Before a workout: Platinum Hydrowhey mixed with skimmed milk, plus a quality creatine monohydrate powder (or creatine ethyl-ester). Adding creatine increases protein and carb updtake by the muscles, and also has been clinically proven to boost strength, size and power.
Following a workout: Platinum Hydrowhey with rapid acting-carbs and a glutamine powder. This helps to refuel your muscles at a time when they're most receptive to nutrients. Fast acting amino acids like glutamine, and quickly digested carbs will provide the essential building blocks for muscle mass at the time they're most needed. A shot of caffeine couldn't hurt either, as it can assist with more efficient glycogen resynthesis (setting you up for your next workout already).
Before Bed: Use a Casein and BCAAs - casein is much slower digested protein, which will support your protein needs during the night, and preserve your muscle tissues - BCAAs will also help protect your nearly formed muscle tone during this period.
Customer Reviews for Optimum Nutrition Platinum Hydrowhey 3.5lbs
- No Real Gains... Review by Luke

Value Quality Price I have used this product for a month now and tried 2 different flavours - strawberry and cookies & cream - strawberry is definitely nicer, though both are extremely thin even when using less water. I don't feel that my muscle development has not kicked on since taking these, previously having used synergy iso-7, it is a more cost effective way of getting good gains. For the money I expected more. Training 5 days a week and a good diet, I expected this to take me to the next level. It, unfortunately, did not. (Posted on 28/06/2011)

- Question: Does it matter whether you prepare your protein shake before the workout and then drink it after, or should you take the powder with you and then mix it after the session and then drink it?
Cheers,
- Answer: Hi
You should mix the protein powder just as you are about to drink it. The protein starts to break down as soon as it is mixed so leaving it for an hour or so will degrade the quality and quantity of protein digested by the body. If you want an easy way of carrying your protein powder and water, try the smartshake, it has a compartment for storing powder which is separate to the water container.
