Platinum Hydrobuilder by Optimum Nutrition is a protein supplement that includes five forms of protein, creatine, and EAA’s. With so many great elements to this powder, we wanted to take a closer look to see what exactly sets Platinum Hydrobuilder apart.

What’s In It?

Five forms of protein that include: Hydrolyzed Whey Protein Isolate, Micellar Casein, Hydrolyzed Whey Protein, Whey Protein Concentrate, and Hydrolyzed Egg Albumen. We love that the blend includes egg protein, as the egg is the protein gold standard by which all other proteins must be compared. Whey protein digests the fastest, casein the slowest, and egg protein digests at a fairly moderate rate.

A great aspect of this protein is the inclusion of creatine. There are five grams of creatine monohydrate per serving, which is a large dose, meaning you won’t have to invest in a second creatine supplement to stack with this one.

There are lots of essential amino acids in this blend as well, 2.5g BetaPower Natural Betaine, 2g Micronized BCAAs, Micronized L-Glutamine, Micronized L-Arginine, Taurine, L-Alanine, L-Carnitine Tartrate, and Micronized L-Citrulline. The micronized aspects of these amino acids make them much more absorbent for the body. All of the amino acids work to support different aspects of muscle building and development.

And enzymes–200mg Enzymes Beet Root Fiber, Amylase, Protease, Cellulase, Lactase, and Lipase. Enzymes are an important aspect of any protein supplement as they are responsible in assisting the body in the breakdown of fiber and protein, making them more easily assimilated into the body.
