Optimum Nutrition 100% Casein - 909g :
- Time release protein for through the day and before bed maximising GH output during sleep
- Forms a gel in the gut creating a drip like effect of aminos into the bloodstream
- The most anti catabolic protein source
- Great for anabolism
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.
