PVL Gold Series IsoGold Whey Protein Isolate - Triple Milk Chocolate (840 g)

PVL Gold Series IsoGold Whey Protein Isolate - Triple Milk Chocolate comes in an 840 g (1.85 lb) tub from PVL Pure Vita Labs, the Canadian sports nutrition company behind the Gold Series and Natural Series ranges. The front of the tub describes it as a premium whey protein isolate shake. Each serving lists 27 g of whey protein and 17 g of EAAs, BCAAs and glutamines, and the formula includes the DE111 probiotic strain. Triple Milk Chocolate is the milk chocolate option in the IsoGold range and pairs well with milk, cold brew coffee or a frozen banana in a blender.

What is in each scoop

Whey protein isolate is the most filtered of the common whey forms. The extra filtration takes out much of the fat and lactose that whey concentrate keeps, so the powder is mostly protein by weight. That is why isolates tend to mix thinner than concentrates and sit lighter in a shaker after a session. The 17 g figure on the label is the combined amount of essential amino acids, branched-chain amino acids (leucine, isoleucine and valine) and glutamine per serving.

DE111 is a named probiotic strain printed on the front panel, so every scoop carries a probiotic as well as protein. PVL also prints "Legendary Taste" on the tub; the Gold Series is the range where the brand puts its dessert-style flavours.

How it compares with other PVL proteins

IsoGold sits in the Gold Series next to EAA Complete+, the amino acid drink mix. Outside the Gold Series, ISO Sport Whey (Natural Series) is the isolate shake made with zero artificial colours, flavours or sweeteners, and Sport Whey is the blend of concentrate, hydrolysate and isolate. Choose IsoGold for its flavour range and isolate base; choose a Natural Series tub if a short, naturally flavoured ingredient list matters more to you than flavour choice.

Using it

Follow the scoop size and mixing directions printed on the tub. Most people shake an isolate with cold water for a lighter drink or with milk for a thicker one, and some stir it into oats or yogurt. The full Nutrition Facts table and ingredient list are on the tub; read them before your first serving, especially for allergens. Whey is a milk protein, so this product is not for anyone with a milk allergy and it is not vegan.

Who it suits

IsoGold suits adults who train regularly and want a high-protein shake with a dessert flavour, people tracking their daily protein who prefer an isolate to a concentrate, and athletes who look for products carrying a third-party sport testing seal, which appears on the front of the tub. The 840 g tub is a sensible size for trying a flavour.
