Optimum Nutrition Casein Protein (1818g)

Sometimes slower is better - especially when it comes to the rate of protein digestion.

Whilst rapid protein absorption is desirable immediately before or after exercise, a 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, casein are aptly described as being anti-catabolic, or muscle protecting, proteins.

Directions

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 1g 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.
