Manufacturer Says:
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 their unique time-released qualities, caseins are aptly described as anti-catabolic or muscle-protecting proteins.
Beyond The Basics
- 24 g Instantized Blend of Slow-Digesting Casein-Based Proteins
- Rich in Highly Anti-Catabolic Micellar Casein
- Over 9 g of BCAAs, Glutamine, and Glutamine Precursors per Scoop
- Only 3-4 g of Carbs
Mixes well, but doesn’t taste as good as ON 100% whey protein. Has more of a “milky” taste. Good product before bed, it makes you full..I always get a good night sleep
I have tried casein proteins from EAS, USN, Redbak and Higher Power and they all have one thing in common….they don’t mix! You need a blender to mix them properly. I mix my ON casein in a shaker bottle with no problems at all. For best tasting mix it with skim milk
They need to bring out strawberry flavor!!!
This is another top product from optimum nutrition. I use it before bed and to make meal replacement shakes with. Banana flavor is perfect for making smoothies with milk, yogurt and berries. Casein protein is ideal for meal replacements as it’s slow release and you get the benefits for hours. You should only use whey after you train, that’s it.
Don’t bother with vanilla flavor…vanilla flavor tastes bad in whey protein powders and tastes twice as bad for casein!!
