Casein Usage Occasions
|
Benefits of CaseinThe amino acids in protein are the building blocks of muscle mass. Casein protein can deliver Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) to recovering muscles for up to 8 hours. |
Optimum Nutrition has been trusted to provide the highest quality in post-workout recovery for over 30 years and in 90+countries. After careful supplier selection, each ingredient is tested to assure exceptional purity, potency and composition. We hold ourselves to the highest production standards, all so you can unlock your body's full potential.
Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Casein Protein Powder
Faster digesting protein is desirable immediately before and after exercise to help refuel recovering muscles, but slow digestion and absorption may be beneficial at other times, such as bedtime, when your body goes hours without food. Casein products thicken in the stomach and can take longer to be broken down into its amino acid subcomponents.
By using only premium micellar casein as a protein source, we've created a formula that sets the standard for slow digesting protein support.
- 24g of Anti-Catabolic Micellar Casein
- Slow-Digesting Protein
- 5 Grams of Naturally Occurring BCAAs
- 5 Grams of Naturally Occurring Glutamine and Glutamic Acid

I’d like 30g vs 24g, but that’s an easy personal fix.
Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2024
Unlike whey that gets absorbed quick, casein is thicker when mixed with either water or milk, it "feels" heavier and takes longer to get digested. Therefore it keeps the hunger away for longer as well. I even take it before bed when I'm feeling hungry and there's nothing more uncomfortable than trying to sleep hungry.
The chocolate flavor is surprisingly tasty as casein protein products tend not to taste very good. This is my go to casein!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best tasting casein you’re ever going to find - bar none
Reviewed in Canada on July 7, 2024
I like to mix mine with milk, 1% if I feel like my stomach could use it, 3% if I don’t think it’ll be an issue (I have a tricky stomach so don’t think that should also apply to you), but all in all it’s a great powder. The taste is honestly unbelievable… it’s almost like it’s not even a protein/casein shake, and I’ve had to stop myself from making one after the other, though on one occasion I just said screw it and did it anyway and didn’t have any negative results, but obviously it’s not something one should do every night lol, but it’s really that good. I don’t know why people are talking about on here sit it being chalky or hard to mix, it’s literally the easiest mixing and best tasting shake I’ve ever had. I like drinking mine with a peanut butter sandwich because it’s that milky.
Give it a try, I even got my mom to start taking it because her doctor wants her to gain some weight but she can’t find anything she can easily digest… I went over to her place one day and brought her enough to make a single shake, and I was ordering one for her the next day. That’s probably the highest praise I can give this thing lol. Definitely go for it, but again, it’s best as a nighttime shake due to the slow digestion process that is designed to last longer than most shakes, as you’re the most inactive when you sleep, so that’s what, and when it’s designed for.
If that suits your needs, then you’re in pure flavour country with this stuff lol.
