OPTIMUM NUTRITION VS MYPROTEIN: WHICH IS BETTER?
wejustcompare team
28/08/2021
9 min read
Choosing the right protein powder isn’t fun anymore. With all the flavours,
prices, nutritional values, and concerns related, it’s hard to understand what
exactly you should be looking for.
Especially since the sports nutrition and supplement industry has stepped up a
notch, with brands offering upgraded products that can just come across as
overwhelming.
To help you narrow down your choices and focus on your needs, we’ve compared two
of the best-rated whey protein brands: Optimum Nutrition and MyProtein based on
their nutritional composition, quality, taste and value for money.
Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links which means I may get a small
commission if you purchase a product after clicking on a link. This does not
cost you anything.
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE BRANDS
Did you know that more than 95 thousand tons of whey protein are produced and
shipped solely in the UK?
Both Optimum Nutrition and MyProtein have been on top of whey protein production
in the UK for quite some time, proving with their consistency and quality that
what is promised is in the end delivered.
OPTIMUM NUTRITION
Optimum Nutrition has been paving its way to the best-selling brands for 30 +
years, mostly focusing on whey protein as their staple product, with now more
than 14 flavours to offer.
Optimum Nutrition proudly shows off its success, claiming their products and any
changes made to their formula are strictly based on scientific data and
up-to-date research on fitness and sports nutritional requirements.
MYPROTEIN
Myprotein hasn’t been around for so long (since 2004), yet with a vast array of
sports and nutrition products (including even sports clothing and accessories),
it has quickly fought its way to customers’ protein powder bottles for a reason,
now with over 40 flavours to choose from.
On their website, MyProtein guarantees top-quality ingredients, certified
testing methods, and top-notch production based in the UK, ensuring best-rated
sports supplements, amongst which their whey protein powders stand out as the
top-selling products.
OPTIMUM NUTRITION VS MYPROTEIN – BESTSELLING PROTEIN POWDERS
Both companies explore a variety of whey protein variants but for the purposes
of this article the focus will be put on their most popular comparable products:
whey concentrate (Impact Whey vs ON Gold Standard) and whey isolate (Impact Whey
Isolate vs ON Gold Standard 100% Isolate). But first of all, let’s look at the
differences between whey concentrate and isolate and which one you should buy.
Different types of whey protein powders
Based on their fat, lactose and protein content, as well as manufacturing
process, whey protein powders mostly found on the racks can be categorized into
three main types: whey protein concentrate (70-80% protein), whey protein
isolate (80%+ protein), and hydrolysed whey.
Whey concentrate is the most common and widely popular supplementation,
essentially a left-over liquid of cheese and other dairy production processes,
which is further dehydrated and formed into a powder. Being a natural milk
byproduct, whey concentrate is a healthy supplementation option, containing
around 80% of protein (depending on the brand), alongside wholesome fats and
nutrients, lactose (around 8%), and minerals.
In search of a low-calorie/high-protein option, various technologies have been
applied to create a whey isolate, 90-95% protein, low-calorie, low-lactose
option. To achieve this, whey isolate powders are also deprived of all the
healthy fats and minerals, that basically comprises a wholesome whey supplement.
Finally, whey hydrolysate is also worth mentioning as probably the most advanced
form of whey supplementation.
Hydrolyzed whey is produced by breaking down amino acids in whey for better and
quicker absorption, making it less prone to causing allergic reactions. That
said, given the questionable bitter taste that needs additives, as well as the
only slight improvement in whey digestion, it’s questionable how effective this
type really is in the sports supplementation world. What’s more, the more
complicated the production, the higher the price – another minus for whey
hydrolyzation.
Products reviewed in this article are concentrate and isolate options from the
two mentioned brands.
WHEY CONCENTRATE OR ISOLATE: WHICH ONE SHOULD YOU BUY?
The answer to this question depends on what you’re looking for in your whey
powder.
Because of its easy and quick production process, whey concentrate is cheaper,
easily accessible, and more commonly used in sports supplementation (protein
bars, powders, drinks, etc.) than other powders.
It’s also considered healthier and fitting to its supplementation purpose as it
recharges the body with necessary fats, amino acids, minerals – essentially
everything that makes whey so desirable in sports nutrition. That said, dairy
fats add up to calorie content, which is usually a big downside for fitness
fans.
On the other hand, if you’re looking for a rapid protein boost whey isolates are
a better option. With up to 95% of protein content, this type of powder will
bring higher efficacy with no significant calorie boost.
Whey isolates are also great for lactose-intolerant consumers as some brands
offer powders with as low as 0.5% lactose content. However, be prepared to
invest more in your protein powder if you decide to opt for the isolates.
MYPROTEIN IMPACT WHEY (CONCENTRATE) PROTEIN VS OPTIMUM NUTRITION GOLD STANDARD
WHEY PROTEIN
We’ve scrutinized the most important features of whey concentrate protein
powders MyProtein Impact Whey (Concentrate) Protein and Optimum Nutrition Gold
Standard Whey Protein to give you a better insight into their true effect and
quality:
NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION
It seems that both of these best-selling whey concentrates offer the same amount
of the baseline ingredients: protein – 82 g (per 100g), as well as the energy
substrates, Branch Chain Amino Acids (BCAA): 5.5g (ON Gold Standard Whey) vs
5.4g (MyProtein Impact Whey) per 30g serving. The BCAAs are responsible for
muscle recovery and are a prerequisite for the proper absorption of other amino
acids.
However, that’s where the similarities end, given that MyProtein Impact whey is
richer in calories with 412 kcal vs. 373 kcal in ON Gold Standard for the same
amount (100g), unflavoured options.
If we dig deeper into the nutritional composition, we can see that this is
easily explained by almost double the amount of fat (7.5 g vs 3.7g) and sugars
(4.0g vs 2.2g) in MyProtein powder.
Both products are low in salt containing only 0.5 g per 100g of product.
Nutritional values per 100 g ON Gold Standard Whey Protein (unflavoured)
Myprotein Impact Whey Protein (unflavoured)
Calories 373 kcal 412 kcal Protein 82g 82g Fat 3.7g 7.5g – of which Saturated
1.2g 5.0g Carbohydrates 3.1g 4.0g – of which Sugars 2.2g 4.0g Salt 0.50g 0.50g
BCAA (Branched Chain Amino Acids) per serving 5.5g (in 30 g serving) 4.5g (in
25g serving)
FLAVOURS AND TASTE/TEXTURE
For some consumers, flavour/taste can be the decision-making factor in picking
your favourite whey powder. Judged solely by the number of available flavours,
MyProtein by far beats not only Optimum Nutrition but also most other brands,
with a whopping 55 choices on the market.
That said, a wider range of options doesn’t always mean ‘better’, as there’s
only so much you can add to a protein shake to keep it palatable, let alone
tasty.
Among the 55 flavours, at least 10 are chocolate variants, some reviewed as
delicious, but some as not so much. Some flavours cover the classics (vanilla,
strawberry, banana, etc.) while there are also more daring combos (e.g. coffee,
raspberry, tiramisu, pineapple, and much more).
Optimum Nutrition sticks to the known (14 flavours) which are more or less
attractive to consumers who in general find them appealing, easily digestible
and compatible with the milky whey taste (chocolate variants, strawberry,
vanilla, banana, etc.)
SWEETENERS USED
The main sweetener in both products is Sucralose, a common sweetener widely used
in protein powders. Apart from the bundle of flavours, MyProtein has widened its
offer to healthier sugar-free options, such as the ‘stevia’ range ( banana,
blueberry and raspberry, chocolate, chocolate mint, vanilla, strawberry).
Stevia is a calorie-free, fat-free natural sweetener, very high in sweetness,
yet a much healthier option compared to artificial sweeteners such as Acesulfame
Potassium (K), also found in ON Gold Standard. This artificial additive although
safe for consumption has been linked to possible contributions to obesity and
diabetes, due to gut microbiome changes it causes.
Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey doesn’t offer a carb-free option, however,
there are other sugar-free options (e.g. Optimum Nutrition Lean Whey Sugar-Free)
available for those who need to cut down on carbs.
PRICE AND VALUE FOR MONEY
When it comes to affordability, we’ve compared similar packages (2.5 kg and 2.2
kg) to see their popularity and value for money. Compared to similar products,
both MyProtein and Optimum Nutrition products are in the ‘good value for money’
range according to most users, which makes them even more applicable and
recommended among fitness enthusiasts, sports nutritionists and satisfied
consumers.
MYPROTEIN IMPACT WHEY ISOLATE VS ON GOLD STANDARD 100% ISOLATE
When it comes to brands’ whey isolate products, their isolate products (Impact
Whey Isolate vs Gold Standard 100% Isolate) are very different. Here are the
main differences:
1. Myprotein Impact Whey Isolate has more calories per 100g than ON Gold
Standard 100% Isolate (373 kcal vs 366 kcal).
2. Impact Whey has more protein per 100g (90% vs 83% in ON Gold Standard
Isolate).
3. Impact Whey has less fat, carbs and salt per 100g. However, it has more
sugars in 100g (2.5g) than ON Gold Standard Isolate (1.1g).
4. There are only three flavours of ON Gold Standard 100% Isolate with no
unflavoured option. Impact Whey, on the other hand, offers over 20 flavours,
including the unflavoured option.
5. Artificial sweeteners are used in both isolates but some flavours of
MyProtein Impact Whey Isolate are sweetened with more natural stevia.
So, ON Gold Standard 100% Isolate vs MyProtein Impact Whey Isolate – which one
is the winner?
If you want less calories per 100g, you should pick ON Gold Standard Isolate but
then you will get only 83g of protein per 100g.
Overall, Myprotein Impact Whey Isolate still wins as the calorie difference is
negligible and the protein content is higher. You will also get more flavour
options when choosing Impact Whey and you can even pick stevia-sweetened isolate
(Chocolate Mint Stevia Flavour, Blueberry & Raspberry Stevia Flavour) which is
something ON Gold Standard Isolate doesn’t offer.
Nutritional values per 100 g ON Gold Standard 100% Isolate (Chocolate)
Myprotein Impact Whey Isolate (unflavoured)
Calories 366 kcal 373 kcal Protein 83g 90g Fat 1.4g 0.3g – of which Saturated
0.4g 0.3g Carbohydrates 4.5g 2.5g – of which Sugars 1.1g 2.5g Salt 0.74g 0.5g
MYPROTEIN VS OPTIMUM NUTRITION: WHICH ONE IS BETTER?
On a general note, consumers who are looking for a long-lasting whey protein
powder that will show consistency and quality should also look for a
well-rounded flavourful powder, therefore, before making your final pick, try
out several options to make sure you can use the powder for some time, in order
to achieve positive results.
Based on all the factors included (nutritional value, taste, price, options,
brand), all products have downfalls and pluses.
ON Gold Standard Whey Concentrate is definitely a better option for those who
are looking for a product lower in calories and fat. That said, MyProtein Impact
Whey Concentrate offers more options both in flavour and healthy sugar-free
options, at a slightly more affordable price.
When it comes to whey isolates, Myprotein Impact Whey Isolate is a better option
