Its expensive
The flavor is ok. Not too sweet. I wouldn’t say I enjoy it too much, but its defiantly ok
I’m not sure how different it is from isolate. I used isolate and had no stomach issues and this one is ok too. Regular one did cause some issues

Best protein powder out there. Mixes and tastes better than the gold standard whey protein. Hydrolyzed so it’s supposed to be absorbed faster. With that being said it’s kind of pricey so I usually take it right after my workout and the cheaper gold standard whey protein during the day and off days. Doesn’t give me stomach problems like some other powders out there. On my 2nd tub and will definitely be buying more.

I have had problems with other whey powders making me feel sick, I did want a protein powder that would metabolize fast for better recovery after weight lifting. I gave this a try hoping it would not make me feel sick like other whey powders have. This does not bother my stomach at all I feel good after drinking it. YAHOO!!
Taste is a problem, I bought chocolate and it is way too sweet, I definitely did not enjoy drinking this. I think mixing it with a bitter agent might help and since I work out in the morning i will use black coffee as the liquid base rather than just water. I am hoping this will make the taste more pleasant. I would have given this 5 stars if the taste was better, Texture was fine and it mixed easily.
I am not lactose intolerant, so I am not sure why other whey powders have bothered me but I am glad this one does not
Update — This product has helped me recover from hard weight lifting workouts so i can be ready to workout again. I am 57 and am pushing myself to failure three days a week on my workouts. I had been struggling and onny able to get two hard workouts done but with this and the Creatine powder from the same brand I am back to three full body workout a week.
Taste had been a problem and after experimenting with several ways to make this I found a “whey,” put intended, to make this taste very good. Silk makes a Almond Cashew Protein Milk that includes pea protein in two option, original with 3 grams of carbs and a newer sweeter one with 10 grams of carbs. I am mixing 14 ounces of the lower carb version with a level scoop of Hydrowhey and add two Ice cubes to make it colder in an insulated metal shaker bottle.
The result is a very good tasting Chocolate milk shake. The final product ends up with 47 Grams of protein and 368 Calories with only 7 Grams of Carbs. If this fits in your dietary goals it is a great and delicious protein shake. All with no nausea!!! whoo hoo!

I have been using Optimum Nutrition Platinum Hydrowhey Protein Powder for years, and it remains my go-to protein powder. The taste is excellent, and the high protein-to-calorie ratio is perfect for supporting my fitness goals without unnecessary calories. It mixes effortlessly with water, making it convenient for post-workout shakes.
As someone who is lactose intolerant, I have never experienced any adverse reactions to this product, which is a huge plus. This protein powder is an integral part of my exercise and strength training routine, helping me recover and build muscle effectively. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-quality protein supplement.

The product is perfect but their business practice is anti-consumer.
The quality is great. No bloating, no digestive issues, no problem mixing, all tastes are good but I wouldn’t buy it outside of a discount. It’s too expensive. Other than pricing, I wish it would come in larger containers to be more affordable. Nonetheless, solid choice. Recommended at a good discount.

Ótimo produto, tem um bom sabor e ao contrário do sabor baunilha não é execivamente doce.

When I was setting up an “Insanity” workout schedule back in the late summer (which I had to leave off once allergy season started), I researched and bought a number of different health-shake related products. The short version of this review is that I tried ON’s Platinum Hydro Whey first, as a supplement to the P90X formula; eventually ran out of it; tried the other things I bought; and am now giving them away to go back to this!
Being somewhat lactose intolerant, I worried that a pure milk product would be a problem, but decided to risk it due to the hydrolyzed state. Perhaps because of that I never once had a problem with this product. (And I see some other reviewers didn’t either, although some have in fact had stomach cramps, so apparently it depends on the personal biochemistry. Buyer be warned. UPDATED TO ADD: as of early September 2012, the product now contains a slight amount of lactose. Not enough to bother me, but could be problematic for other people.)
I bought the vanilla version (also in other products) specifically for the purpose of adding some protein and now-missing vanilla flavor back to the new version of the P90X Recovery Formula drink. As many people here will be aware, this was a very popular drink in its original incarnation, largely due to its strong mixture of vanilla and orange flavors. The new version tastes more like Tang, but lacks the sugar and vanilla flavor to hide the vitamin/mineral aftertaste.
ON Platinum Hydro Whey added that vanilla flavor back to the P90 mix; and also beefed up the protein to carb ratio. (The P90 has a lot more carbs than proteins.) To this I added a bit of real Tang.
As other people have reported, the Hydro Whey mixes very easily and thoroughly (even moreso than the P90 mix, by the way, which is no slouch in this department!) On the other hand, I probably wouldn’t try to drink this as a straight milk supplement or alone with water, as I doubt the taste, although very good, would be strong enough for me. On yet another hand, the taste has no mineralish bite or aftertaste to it (because there aren’t any added vitamins and minerals, duh!)
Buyers should keep in mind the report of other reviewers, that ON is being rather misleading about the supposedly superior amount of protein compared to their normal Gold Standard whey products. Mathematically speaking, there is practically no difference. I can’t testify to any other differences, although technically I suppose the hydrolyzed state should metabolize much faster (and maybe mixes better). On the other hand, some people don’t actually want so quick a metabolization, and would rather have the material digest over time. I don’t know enough to opine on the merits of either theory, but as someone who has trouble digesting milk products I appreciate any quicker digestion!
Anyway, I’m buying it again and getting rid of the other things I test-bought, as they don’t mix as well or taste as good (although the latter is subjective and they do have advantages this doesn’t. But of course I’m mixing this with something that has those other advantages already, so…)
