Review: Genuine Product - Great product. Amazing taste. I opted for Vanilla flavour. Best to have with 160ml chilled water. I opted it after a few years. It's genuine. All 3 verification steps are successful. I noticed that they started manufacturing here in India. The supply chain and logistics, taken care by cloudtail is the reason you'll end up getting original product.
Review: Tasting a little weird - This is my second order of the same product. The first time around everything was fine & perfect. However, this time something is really off! The product was checked and it was found to be genuine on the website. However, there is a strong after taste that kind of makes my mouth feel weird. The smell is fine but the consistency of the powder is also too grainy. For some reason it feels not an original product and I’m worried when I’m having it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: guys which is the best flavor...?**
A: Chocolate is loved by all any time. But on the other hand is good because it has natural Color/Flavor of coco powder. But if you consider artificial flavors like Vanilla, Strawberry, Mango or plain, their essence/colouring are light weight and take less space and you get more servings of protein. In india these sellers don't consider or regard all flavors, to avoid responsibility of stocking. So they do the "market me yehi chalta hai" policy. But still Chocolate is recommendable because the color and flavor comes naturally.

**Q: How to know the protein powder are real or fake?? Seeing all the customers reviews,i have a doubt in mind to buy it.**
A: Primary pecan , bright commodities and neulife are the only 3 distributors for optimum nutrition India. 
You can scan QR code and check seal etc. It will.most likely be original because it's on Amazon 
Even then DO NOT buy.
Mine was bright commodities and the bottom half of jar was tampered with. Half of it was fake. 
Products come original from USA but is tampered with in India. Amazon doesn't bother doing anything. So do not risk your health. 
And to check if the product is original or not  check mixability. It should be like bournvita or complan, that is it should mix completely and easily. If you see that it doesn't mix well and forms grains then it's fake
Secondly the taste . This product has a rich chocolatey taste. If it's fake you'll know it. These are the easiest ways to check.

**Q: What rennet is used? animal derived or fungal-derived. and is alcohol used as a solvent during manufacturing?**
A: Dear Customer,

We would like to inform you that it is synthetically and/or fungally derived.

**Q: I am vegetarian so i want to clarify that does it contain any animal product(beef,pork or egg as ingridient)?**
A: Of course its an animal product, Milk doesn't grow on trees.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not a fake product
*by A***R on 11 March 2022*

I went ahead and purchased the tub despite a few negative reviews. I was very particular about the quality and can confirm that this authentic ON protein supplement. While the price is high, I wouldn't want to compromise on the intake of nutrition by taking that is sub standard or below par from a quality standpoint. The protein mixes well with water without any lumps and there is enough aeration in the tub to ensure that it doesn't get spoilt. You may purchase this without any hesitation. The flavour too is decent.
