Muscletech Nitro-Tech 100% Whey Gold 5lb Pre-Order

What you get per serve

• 24 g of ultra-pure whey — from whey protein isolate and peptides, cold micro-filtered so each serve stays low in fat and carbs.
• 5.4 g of naturally occurring BCAAs — the branched-chain amino acids (leucine, isoleucine, valine) that support muscle recovery after training.
• 4 g of glutamine and precursor — glutamine is the most abundant conditionally essential amino acid in the body.
• Fast to absorb, easy to digest — whey peptides digest quickly, so a shake sits light straight after a session.
• Lean macros — about 120 calories with roughly 2 g carbs and 2 g sugar per serve.
• Your choice of flavour — one 5 lb (2.27 kg) tub of Banana or Chocolate Peanut Butter, about 70 serves.

Protein your muscles can use quickly

Recovery starts with protein. After hard training, your muscles draw on amino acids to repair and rebuild. Getting enough quality protein around your sessions is one of the simplest things that supports that process day to day.

Isolate and peptides do the work. Whey Gold leads with whey protein isolate and whey peptides — a fast-absorbing, quickly digested protein source that supports muscle protein synthesis and recovery after exercise. A cold micro-filtration process keeps it ultra-pure, with minimal fat and carbohydrate.

Backed by the research on protein. In a 2018 meta-analysis, protein supplementation alongside resistance training supported greater gains in muscle size and strength than training alone [1]. Each serve here delivers 24 g of protein, 5.4 g of BCAAs and 4 g of glutamine and precursor.

Simple job, done well: a clean, high-protein whey for after training or any time you need to top up your daily protein.

Per serve (1 scoop, about 33 g)

On top of the macros, each serve carries about 5.4 g of naturally occurring BCAAs and 4 g of glutamine and precursor. The full panel — including fat, cholesterol, sodium and calcium — is in the Supplement Facts tab.

Figures are representative. The whey base is shared across flavours, so exact macros vary only slightly between Banana and Chocolate Peanut Butter. Always check the panel on your tub for the precise numbers.

Allergens — contains milk and soy. Made from whey (milk) with soy lecithin, so it is not suitable for anyone with a milk or soy allergy, and it is not vegan or dairy-free. It is made in a facility that also handles wheat, egg, tree nuts, peanuts, fish and shellfish. The Chocolate Peanut Butter flavour is peanut-flavoured — if you have a peanut allergy, check the tub's allergen panel before use.

Mix it in seconds

1. Shake it up. Add 1 scoop to about 180 ml (6 oz) of cold water or skim milk and shake for around 10 seconds. Milk gives a creamier, higher-calorie shake; water keeps it lean.
2. Time it around training. A common approach is a serve between meals, and before or after exercise, to help hit your daily protein target.
3. Fit it to your goal. Use one to two serves a day depending on how much protein you get from food, as part of a balanced diet.

Who it suits

What we can tell you up front

Every number here is off the MuscleTech label. 24 g of protein, 5.4 g of BCAAs and 4 g of glutamine and precursor per serve, from whey isolate and peptides. This is the Whey Gold formula, which has no added creatine — if you want creatine, add it separately.
