100% Casein Protein (4 POUNDS) by Optimum Nutrition

100% Casein Protein

Sometimes slower is better - especially when it comes to the rate of protein digestion. While rapid protein absorption is desirable immediately before or after exercise, delayed release is probably more beneficial throughout the remainder of the day.

Casein proteins are pH sensitive and gel in the acidic environment of the stomach. As a result, it can take more than twice as long for caseins to be broken-down into their amino acid subcomponents than whey and other proteins. Because of these unique "time-released" qualities, caseins are aptly described as being anti-catabolic, or muscle-protecting, proteins.

Casein Protein Suggested Use: Use ON 100% Casein Protein first thing in the morning, immediately before bed, in place of small meals, and/or any other time when delayed protein absorption is desired. To encourage a positive nitrogen balance, consume approximately 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight per day from a combination of high protein foods and supplements. For even better results, consume your daily protein allotment over several small meals spread evenly throughout the day.

"I've had great experience with several Optimum Nutrition proteins and this one is no different. Produces thick, tasty shakes that provide solid bang for the buck. Highly recommended for casein protein supplement." - Jeff

"This is the first casein protein powder I've ever tried and it's great! I've heard that most casein powder tastes really chalky and nasty and is really bad to mix, but this is great! The chocolate mix tastes just like drinking brownie batter, really. But you HAVE to mix it with a blender, it does NOT mix with a spoon. It does what it says, it satisfies and digests slowly, great to take! And excellent value, especially from this website." - Angela

"This casein protein is great! Vanilla tastes good, I mix 12oz of skim milk with one scoop. Any less liquid and its like drinking glue mixed with sand. I take mine right before bed, and it seems to be working, im not starving when I wake up in the morning." - Jimmy
