Product description
Here is an excellent Casein Protein Powder to cater to all your nutritional needs. Often slow digestion of proteins is recommended for better absorption and better results. While it is desirable to have rapid protein absorption immediately before or after exercise; a delayed release of proteins is preferred for the remaining day.
Casein is a protein present in milk and is a high quality protein. It gets easily assimilated in the body and accounts for providing desirable amounts of amino acids which our body can otherwise not synthesize. The casein proteins are pH sensitive and gel well in the stomach’s acidic environment. The caseins can take double the time to be broken-down into their amino acid subcomponents than whey and other proteins. They are thus referred to as the muscle-protecting proteins. Also this helps to get a more satiation feeling for longer durations.
Casein protein powder contains an instantized blend of slow-digesting casein based proteins. It is also rich in anti-catabolic Micellar Casein and enhanced aminogen.
This protein powder provides a filler experience in the stomach. It actually exerts certain pressure on the walls of the stomach, which in turn sends a signal to the brain to stop eating, giving a feeling of fullness in the stomach. Casein, being a protein which is slowly digested and absorbed, it helps in creating a "timed-release" effect, providing a steady stream of amino acids to your muscles over a long period of time. The results are that a greater anti-catabolic environment is set up, which is highly recommended for growth and recovery.

Recommended Directions:
Use Optimum 100% Casein Protein first thing in the morning, immediately before bed, in place of small meals, and/or any other time when delayed protein absorption is desired. To encourage a positive nitrogen balance, consume approximately 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight per day from a combination of high protein foods and supplements. For even better results, consume your daily protein allotment over several small meals spread evenly throughout the day.
