Optimum Nutrition is not new to the scene and they certainly produce great-value products, like their Gold Standard protein

and multivitamins
Optimum Nutrition Opti-Men Multivitamins, 180-Count
However, Hydro Whey is expensive and a lesser value, but why is it worth it?
First off, for all the hard gainers like myself out there, the increased content of BCAA's is important for protein anabolism. You can only create as much as the weakest link and without a single amino acid or fuel to create the essential ones, you are falling short.
Secondly, this stuff mixes like a champ! We've all been there with the proteins that fail to mix well, leaving clumps to swallow and dry powder to lick out of our cups and shaker bottles. I highly recommend a shaker bottle
Blender Bottle W/Wire Ball-Large 28 Oz. Colors Vary
for all mixing purposes, for its convenience as well as efficiency. However, this is the ONLY protein I've ever been able to mix in a cup when a mixer/blender was not available and there are no clumps at all. It does produce a more frothy, lighter shake than does Gold Standard or even Platinum Hydrobuilder, making it easier to consume and break down. The taste is much smoother than its thicker Gold Standard counterpart. It will curb your appetite slightly (characteristic of all proteins), but not as bad as other protein shakes do which can be important when you need to consume that post-workout meal.
Now, as to whether "hydrolyzed" whey is better than the regular stuff, that's for you to decide. It has worked for me, and I'm not going back to Gold Standard anytime soon for all the reasons above, but remember scientific 'philosophies' or lab work does not all translate to the same benefits in real-life applications like the human body (where everyone reacts differently). Hydro-Whey has been a winner for me, and I've tried many, many proteins before: Muscletech, BSN, Optimum, etc.
Please do your research as different proteins have different applications and this stuff is reserved for primarily upon waking and immediately post-workout. If you're looking for meal replacement or anabolic longevity, look elsewhere. Hydro-whey provides instant fuel when your body needs it most, and to maximize muscle gains, I'm willing to pay a premium after working hard in the gym day in, day out.

The Beautiful Trials and Tribulations of Hydro Whey Protein
Oh Hydro Whey protein, you're quite a sight to see,Your label boasts "fast-digesting" - that's quite the guarantee!But let me tell you, my dear friend, the taste is quite alarming,It's like I'm drinking chalk, or worse, a potion quite disarming!I mix you in my smoothies, I stir you in my oats,But no matter what I try, the taste just doesn't float.I know you're good for my gains, my muscles thank you kindly,But could you maybe taste less like I'm drinking drywall finely?Despite your flavor failings, I'll keep on chugging down,For in the end, it's not the taste, it's the gains that make me proud.So thank you, Hydro Whey protein, for helping me get swole,But please, oh please, for the love of all that's holy, make that taste less bold!Thank you!
