Platinum Hydrowhey is the fastest, purest, most advanced whey protein we've ever developed. In a word: excellence. By hydrolyzing the protein in this premium formula we've created our fastest-acting whey protein yet. Hydrolyzing breaks larger proteins down into smaller pieces that are able to get into your system rapidly, enabling your muscles to start rebuilding quickly. For added effectiveness, we've also enhanced this revolutionary formula with digestive enzymes and micronized branched chain amino acids (BCAAs). In addition to being fast, Platinum Hydrowhey is also ultra-pure. That's because it's made entirely with hydrolyzed whey protein isolates. So there's no excess fat, cholesterol, or lactose to slow down your progress.

Turbo Chocolate

It's always a race to be bigger, faster and stronger, so ON decided to focus on faster with the new Platinum Hydrowhey. This is supposed to be the "fastest and purest" protein you can get, and with the obscene price tag, I'd hope so. IT has 8.8g BCAAs per 30g protein serving, with only one gram of fat and two grams of carbohydrates. There's zero lactose which is always nice too.

Mixability was very impressive, although taste left a bit to be desired. It tasted a lot like cocoa powder (which is an ingredient), which is kind of good, but kind of bad because it had that same bitter taste that cocoa powder often has, probably due to the lack of sugars.

Optimum Nutrition had been hyping this product for months before the Olympia. I along with many others figured it would be a hydrolyzed whey which is the fastest absorbing protein on the market today. The thing that separates it from others is the increasing difficulty of flavoring it. This product mixes easy in a shaker or a cup. The taste of Turbo Chocolate is amazing while Vanilla is decent. If you add two table scoops of sugar to Turbo Chocolate, you would think your drinking Cytofuse Chocolate. The profile of the product is not bad, but they leave out the hydrolysis % and the ratio of di and tri pepties. The higher these number, the more quality it is and also the harder to flavor. AEN Intrabolic and Gaspari SizeOnV2 do state these. I don't see why its a secret not too, because companies are sometimes copycats. This is a solid product, but 20 scoops of protein at $29.99 is high. This is not for the average lifter, but for the real serious lifter. I think I would be sufficient with a whey isolate instead of this.

Taste		The reason this product does not have a 10 is because of the taste, it is getting better


Taste		Mixes easy, and tastes like chocolate milk (and I mix it with water).
Mixes well		Mixes easy, and tastes like chocolate milk (and I mix it with water).


Taste		It tastes and feels lighter on the stomach.
Taste		but overall a good tasting and dissolving protein.


Taste		best tasting protein even with water.
Value for money		now only con is the price


Taste		I like the turbo chocolate flavor so much it mix with water so easily.


Taste		It mixes well, high on grams of protein per serving and tastes great!
Mixes well		It mixes well, high on grams of protein per serving and tastes great!
Value for money		but if you can get it somewhere else for cheaper then GET it!
Value for money		Like i said, a little pricey
Value for money		but if you keep looking around online, before you run out, you can find it for much cheaper that makes it worth it;
Value for money		however, i wouldn't recommend buying it for the price I've seen it go for at GNC.


Taste		Turbo Chocolate tastes great, too.
Mixes well		Shake your shaker for 5 seconds and it's completely mixed in.


Taste		The taste for vanilla is awful,
Taste		but in my opinion i would rather have a product that works than taste good.


Muscle gain		I wrote ON an email telling them that they should make this in bigger 5/6 pound containers as that might bring the price per serving down a little bit
Value for money		And even then, with all the extra BCAA and essential amino's in this product, you are still kind of getting a decent value out of it.
Value for money		I usually wait for it to be on sale and then I buy 2-4 tubs of it depending on the price and how many I currently have at the house.

Texture		You can drink this very easily - it's consistency is quite thin.
Texture		You also don't get layers forming on the sides of a glass or shaker (thicker whey proteins do this - which can cause an unfortunate stink in the sink while they sit with "rinse water" in them).
Texture		The velocity vanilla is fabulous as a standalone flavor, or for making smoothies.
Taste		The velocity vanilla is fabulous as a standalone flavor, or for making smoothies.
Taste		Still, both flavors are aesthetically pleasing; not "artificial" tasting like a lot of proteins.
Mixes well		As a hydrolyzed whey this stuff mixes almost instantly, and there are no clumps to speak off.


Taste		Tastes great and mixes almost instantly in a shaker bottle.
Mixes well		Tastes great and mixes almost instantly in a shaker bottle.


Taste		Delicious, effective, quick recovery time.
Taste		Awesome flavor which I actually mix into my coffee post workout.
Recovery ability		Delicious, effective, quick recovery time.


Taste		Taste and mix are also 100% nailed.
Value for money		It's not cheap!
Ingredient profile		No empty promises, no unnecessary ingredients, just pure muscle fuel.
