Product Description
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

Amazon.com Product Description
 | GOLD STANDARD 100% CASEIN, Chocolate Supreme |
| ||||||||||||||||||||||
Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Casein offers the slow-digesting protein essential for facilitating muscle recovery and preventing muscle breakdown. Rapid-protein use is desirable immediately before and after exercise to help refuel recovering muscles. However, 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 thicken in the stomach. Because of this, it can take more than twice as long for Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Casein to be broken down into its amino acid subcomponents than other proteins. The industry's first all-micellar casein provides sustained-release amino acid support.

Almost any company can produce decent, good-tasting, cheap whey, but doing the same for casein is a trickier proposition. ON has done a solid job with this casein. Mixing it with low-fat or nonfat milk makes for a nice, creamy shake.
A couple of tips: don't bother trying to mix this with a fork or a shaker bottle. You'll get clumps and you'll hate it. Casein demands a blender.
Tip II: Casein has always been the "overnight" protein because of its slower digestion rate than whey, but recent scientific evidence suggests that combining casein with whey in your post-workout shake gives better results than whey alone. Heck, mix the two in all your shakes, except the pre-workout shake, where you'll want just the quick-hitting whey.

This is the most cost efficient and quality ratio of Casein you can probably find. With 2 day shipping with Amazon Prime and getting this every month automatically is a deal thats out of this world. I have tried several flavors, some better than others but thats not what matters. Just go with the cheapest, the chocolate for 2lb or cookies and cream for the 4lbs. Regardless of the taste, which isn't bad by the way, taking this protien before you go to bed is the best thing you can do, but you are not doing, towards building a better body.
You can really feel the filling effects of this stuff as you lay there and knowing your muscles have adequate nutrition to get them through the night is peace of mind. I can honestly say since taking this, i have slept better and i have made more gains than ever before. Its not a miricle pill or rocket science, its plain good ole nutrition for your body, when you need it the most.
Combine Casein and Whey during different times of the day for optimal effects.
What i have found what works best for me is the following.
Morning: Shake of 25 percent Casein, 75 percent Whey.
Before workout: Shake of 100 percent Whey.
After workout: Shake of 75 percent Whey, 25 percent Casein.
Before bed: Shake of 100 percent Casein.
I found this works best for me after a lot of tweeking, but for others depending on protien needs, it may vary.
Buy some today and enjoy.

I love this product. Optimum Nutrition does a great job with most of their produts and this is no different. The taste isn't as good as regular whey proteins but there really isn't anything that can be done about that. Casein is a slow digesting protein that usually lasts about 7 hours which makes it a perfect for night time. Highly recommended
