Does anyone use any supplements from Optimum Nutrition? If you do or have used products from Optimum Nutrition, are they any good? Alot of people i have met say they are one of the best brands.
People rave about the ON Whey, but I don’t like the taste. They’ve worked as well as any protein I’ve used, but the taste is terrible unless I use milk with it.

What was it about the taste? Are you sure it was the taste you didn’t like or was it the flavour that didn’t agree with you? Which one did you use? Chocolate? Strawberry etc
I agree that it tastes HORRIBLE with water. But with milk it’s delicious.
Ive had Casein in both Chocolate and Vanilla, and they were both AMAZING in chocolate. I would drink it even if it didnt have protein. Great taste.
For whey protein, i’ve had strawberry, vanilla, chocolate, cookies and cream, mint chocolate, and I think that’s it.
The only one that I didnt like was the cookies and cream, bc I thought that it tasted like coffee, and I hate coffee.
They all tasted very good in milk (esp when you mix strawberry and vanilla together), but most are pretty disgusting in water.
I probably have about 2-3 shaked a day. I use milk whenever I can, but if I run out, I still try and get my 2-3 in. The strawberry is especially disgusting in water.
As long as you stick with milk, you’ll be good. But even with water, fuck it – just drink.
I really like their products. Everything I’m taking now is either optimum or Biotest. I’ve tried a couple of their flavors. They’re all pretty decent. Met-rx protein isnt too bad either, flavor wise
I used the whey and casein both from ON for quite some time. Like Deese said, the taste is terrible with water but you get used to it. I used chocolate.
One thing I don’t like is I didn’t see a product that had carbs +protein. Seems like they only have protein products, so I switched to Bioplex.
Next to Metabolic Drive any protein tastes like shit!
I use their Whey, been using it for years, I like it alot.
Chocolate is the best, I never get any of the other flavors.
I used a lot of Optimum Nutrition natural whey for awhile (~15 pounds a month) and finally realized why I always felt like ass. Got rid of that cheap shit, got some quality protein and I’m never looking back.
i love thier whey , it doesnt taste bad either to me atleast , i’ve always liked it
The have bulk BCAA powder that I’ve been using for about a year now. Mix in a litle Biotest Leucine (5g added to 15g), and some sugar free flavoring and you’ve got your periworkout drink while cutting.

i think their casein is the best protein powder ive ever tasted (double chocolate flavor). It’s a little gritty so it only works well if you blend ( as opposed to shake it ). also as far as whey protein goes I think theirs is the best as well, taste wise.
ON Chocolate Casein tastes like chemicals and pain. I’m not sure how I finished that tub.
No complaints with the other chocolate whey flavors and I’ve had them all. Rocky Road is VERY sweet though so watch out for that.
