Product description
Generally body builders and athletes require some additional protein supplements for the growth and regeneration of their body. Bodybuilders and athletes can now benefit from the exceptionally good casein protein powder in their diets.
Optimum Nutrition 100% Casein Protein Powder 909g is rich in glutamine content. Of all the casein powders available in the market, this powder has the highest amounts of the amino acid glutamine which essentially helps to preserve the muscle mass and also aids in the smooth functioning of the immune system. This casein powder is more effective than whey proteins as it gets very slowly absorbed in your stomach. Since it moves through the digestive tract more slowly than the available whey proteins, there is more time for the body to absorb all the essential nutrients and proteins from it.
Casein powder comes as a relief for all the workout enthusiasts who want to have exorbitant muscles. One must keep in mind that these powders function most effectively and deliver the best results when consumed at night, before going to bed. Therefore they are also known as "night time" protein. The casein proteins can usually take up to 7 hours for complete digestion. Thus, it is essential to use them overnight. Also another fact is that the human body needs rest for restoring from the daily stress and tiredness and the intense workouts. As the maximum growth of the body takes place while sleeping, casein protein powders work best when taken before going to bed. You body gets a constant and slow supply of protein for use throughout the night.
All the body builders and athletes can greatly benefit from the casein powder, as it helps to build lean muscle, prevent muscle breakdown, and reduce recovery times. So if you are looking forward to get excellent muscles, casein powder is your solution.

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.
