Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Casein Powder

Slow Digesting Premium Micellar Casein Protein
While whey protein is desirable immediately before and after exercise to help support muscle recovery a slower digesting protein, like casein, is the better choice when you will go for hours without eating. This is especially true right before bed, when your body can go for 8-10 hours without any food, or between meals.

Casein proteins thicken in the stomach and, compared to other proteins, it can take longer for our Gold Standard 100% Casein to be broken down – providing a steady supply of amino acids over the 7-8hrs you sleep. By using only premium micellar casein as a protein source, we’ve created a formula that sets the standard for slow-digesting protein support.

Thicker, Richer Shakes
While whey protein shakes tend to be thinner in consistency, casein protein powder creates a thicker, richer flavoured shake. When mixed into cold water micellar casein resembles an ice cream milkshake in texture. It’s a solid foundation for using an electric blender to create endless varieties of smoothies with fruits, nuts and other ingredients.

Make Protein Ice Cream
Satisfy your sweet tooth with a protein packed treat you’ll look forward to using as a before bed snack. Simply mix one scoop into half the amount of water you normally use (150-180ml), place in the freezer for about 5 minutes and enjoy!

When to take?
Before bed to provide amino acid delivery while you’re asleep and between meals for lasting protein support.
