Difference in Optimum Black and Red Packing?

eshban · 06-16-2008, 01:58 AM

Hi, last day i have just visited supplement shop and ask the shopkeeper to give me "OPTIMUM GOLD STANDARD- WHEY PROTEIN", i told him to give me Vanilla Flavour. He says that Vanilla flavour is not available in NEw packing ( the red one packing), then he shows me the OLD Black Packing of Optimum whey protein. In that old packing, vanilla flavour was available. But i cannot buy that.

Kindly tell me whether i purchase the "optimum Whey Protein " in old blacking or Will i buy in new packing??? what are the difference in both packing. Is it just a change in label, or is there any change in ingredients also?

please suggest what what will i do? thanks

red-24g protein
black-21g protein
just go with the red.

Black should have had 24 g of protein as well.

Newer and cheaper packaging. Thats it. But marketing wise much better IMO

well i was thinking it could be 100% classic whey, but who knows.

I think that one was a different color packaging but very easy to mistake. No biggie. They have so many different products. lol

Doesnt matter, like I said there the same thing. The old label is just that. The red is the new label.

Thanks Prudence. :)

Yea its the same, I just got mine today and it came with a label attached to it saying "New look, same proven formulas" lol

**T.O** · 06-16-2008, 08:48 AM

lol, ^^^^

Yeah I believe Labrada just came out with a new Supercharge Xtreme. Same exact thing just more servings per bottle. Companies need to maintain change. Even if nothing really changes. Slap a new and improved on it and all of a sudden you have a new and better product to push.

changed labels, i know in the pro complex they also put in a bigger scooper, went from 55-60. i think the regular whey went from 21 -24

The Old black label ON whey was also 24g protein. There might be some slight changes like the scooper size that you mentioned but for the most part it was all relabeling. More basic label, more cost effective, also plain but to the point. Also a big plus is now almost all of there products have the same style label.
