Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Casein™ Chocolate Supreme -- 4 lbs

Slow-Acting Protein - Aminogen® Enhanced. • 24G Protein. • 10G BCAAs Glutamine & Precursors. • 0G Sugar. • 55 Servings. • Naturally and Artificial Flavored. The Bigger Picture Of Casein. Rapid protein use is desirable immediately before and after exercise to help refuel recovering muscles, but delayed digestion and absorption may be more beneficial at other times – including bedtime when your body typically goes for hours without food. Casein proteins are acid sensitive and tend to thicken in the stomach. Because of this, it can take more than twice as long for our Gold Standard 100% Casein to be broken down into its amino acid subcomponents than other proteins. By blending premium micellar and calcium caseins, we’ve created a protein formula that’s truly time-released. Beyond The Basics. • Loaded with Micellar Casein. • 24 Grams of the time-released protein per serving. • Contains AMINOGEN® digestive enzymes to enhance utilization. • Over 5 grams of BCAAs (Leucine, Isoleucine, and Valine). • Nearly 5 grams of glutamine & glutamine precursors in every scoop.

Great product for slow release, November 18, 2009
By Ohai

"I use this casein protein right before bed because it's a slow release protein and ensures your body can rebuild while you sleep. It tastes great and is priced nicely."

Wish I discoverd Casein a long time ago, September 19, 2009
By veocityint

"I've always supplemented with whey protein. Everyone always said it's the best protein next to eggs. But what they didn't tell you is that it basically runs right through your body. It's digested very quickly so if you don't consume any protein an hour or two after your body may have run out of aminos to feed your muscle cells. Casein is digested much slower and is great for taking before bed if you don't feel like eating a piece of meat every night before sleeping. I actually use it in the morning and after my workouts too, I mix it with a scoop of whey so I know I'm getting protein to my muscles fast with the whey and over time with the casein. I realize now that just having a whey shake is not a great idea especially if your next meal is more than 2 hours away."

take before bed, August 2, 2009
By BlueberryGuy from FL

"Casein is thicker and fills you up unlike whey, it's also a little gritty, but no big deal. It mixes fine into milk with nothing but a spoon and the chocolate supreme flavor is pretty good. Anyway I don't need this to taste exactly like a milkshake I just need an easy way to take casein before bed and this fulfills that need."

Great protein product, March 22, 2009
By WhollyWrld from Greensboro, NC

"When you drink this stuff you notcie that it's definitely thicker than whey. It worked really well for me, I stacked it with 100% whey. I would have casein 2 hours before i went to bed, wake up have whey, then have whey before workout, and a mix of whey and casein after workout, then casein again before bed. I gained 6 pounds of lean muscle in three weeks."
