Optimum Nutrition Platinum Hydro Whey Protein Powder

Breakdown

8 ingredients to avoid

Optimum Nutrition Platinum Hydro Whey Protein Powder scores 15/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Optimum Nutrition Platinum Hydro Whey Protein Powder lists 22 ingredients, starting with Hydrolyzed Whey Protein Isolate, l-Leucine, l-Isoleucine, l-Valine and Cocoa Processed With Alkali. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 15/100 Optimum Nutrition Platinum Hydro Whey Protein Powder scores worse than most protein powders we have scored. A higher-scoring option in protein powders is Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides Unflavored Powder at 100/100.
