The 1lb Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard is the cheapest way to try the world’s most trusted whey: the same 24g-protein formula, just in a small starter tub. Great for first-timers who don’t want to commit to a big size.
What you get per scoop
The formula doesn’t change with size: 24g protein and 5.5g BCAAs per scoop for just 120 calories and 1g sugar, clean mixing, no clumps. The 1lb tub is about 14 servings, a couple of weeks of daily shakes.
Is it sulit?
Around ₱1,900 as of July 6, 2026. Check the latest price on Shopee. Per gram it’s the priciest of the ON sizes, so it’s not the long-term value pick. It’s the low-risk way to see if you like it before sizing up.
Who should buy it
Buy this if you’re trying ON for the first time or only need whey occasionally. Once you’re sold, the 2lb and 5lb tubs cost less per serving. See all our picks in the best whey protein in the Philippines roundup.
Alternatives to consider
Once you know you like it, size up. The per-gram price on the 1lb tub is the highest of the ON range. The Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 2lb is our Best Overall pick at around ₱3,000 as of July 6, 2026, the same formula at a lower cost per serving. If you shake daily and want the cheapest scoop, the Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 5lb at around ₱6,300 works out lowest per serving.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the 1lb tub last?
About 14 servings, two weeks of daily shakes, or a month at every-other-day. It's a trial size, so plan to size up once you know you like it.
Is the formula weaker than the bigger tubs?
No. It's the exact same formula in every size, with 24g protein and 5.5g BCAAs per roughly 30g scoop at 120 calories. Only the price per gram changes.
Is it good for weight loss shakes?
The macros lean that way: 120 calories, 1g sugar, and 1.5g fat per scoop for the Double Rich Chocolate flavor. It's protein support, though, not a meal replacement on its own.
How do I make sure I get an original tub?
Order from the official Optimum Nutrition store on Shopee. This listing is theirs, with a 4.9 rating on 10K+ sold. Check the seal and lot code when it arrives before mixing your first scoop.
