Product Summary
NOW Sports Whey Protein Isolate provides 25 grams of protein per serving with a solid profile of BCAAs. It is available as unflavored, which is free from artificial sweeteners, additives, and colors, as well as Creamy Chocolate and Creamy Vanilla. Users appreciated the ease of mixing this product into almost any liquid for an additional protein boost. Although some felt the powder did have a distinct taste with a sour aftertaste, most reported that this protein was one of the best unflavored proteins they have ever used.
To ensure quality and consistency of potency and product formulation, NOW Sports Whey Protein Isolate is NPA A-rated for GMP certification. However, there were several users who reported receiving a canister with the scooper missing—not a deal breaker by any means but worth noting. For those who prefer to buy American-made products, this protein is packed in the USA.
