Optimum 100% Casein Protein Vanilla- 2 lbs
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.
Other Ingredients: Protein Blend (Micellar Casein, Calcium Caseinate), Cocoa, Natural & Artificial Flavors, Salt, Gum Blend, Sucralose.
Suggested Use: Use first thing in the morning, immediately before bed, in place of small meals,. and/or any other time when delayed protein absorption is desired.
