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 these unique "time-released" qualities, caseins are aptly described
as being anti-catabolic, or muscle-protecting, proteins.
NOTE: Only those products listed with "NATURAL" in their product name contain all natural ingredients.
This mixes pretty well for casein. I have found that the best way to avoid it sticking to everything and getting balled up is to do the following. Fill shaker cup with water and about 4 large ice cubes, then put protein in and shake violently. Just like the shake weight commercials.
Great protein-to-calories ratio. Optimum Nutrition casein is easily the best tasting, easiest to mix casein protein on the market. That said, it still works best to use a shaker. I buy the "chocolate peanut butter" and "chocolate supreme." Both are yummy.
I never review products, but this is the best protein supplement I have ever tasted. It doesn't taste very good with water, but it's really great with 1% milk. It makes your workout a breeze and keeps you full.
