Additional Information
Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Casein formula is powered by 24 grams of pure micellar casein per serving. This premium source is widely recognized as the gold standard for slow-release protein quality. It delivers a sustained release of amino acids into the bloodstream for up to seven hours. The macronutrient profile remains exceptionally clean with only 1 gram of fat and zero added sugars. It provides a thick, rich texture that satisfies hunger cravings late at night.
Each serving naturally delivers nearly 5 grams of Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs). It also contains nearly 5 grams of naturally occurring glutamine and glutamic acid to support tissue repair. These vital aminos work continuously to prevent muscle breakdown during prolonged fasting periods. The formula includes a blend of digestive enzymes to ensure smooth and comfortable digestion. This sustained nutrient delivery keeps the body in an optimal state for physical recovery.
Individuals benefit from this product by experiencing reduced morning muscle stiffness and enhanced overnight recovery. It actively prevents muscle wasting during the sleep cycle, making it crucial for retaining lean mass. The slow digestion rate helps promote a feeling of fullness, which aids in night time craving control. It is an invaluable asset for athletes looking to maximize their muscle-building potential around the clock.
How to Use
Mix 1 scoop (34g) with 300–500ml of water or milk. Consume between meals or before bed for sustained protein release. Can also be added to oats, yoghurt, or smoothies.

Additional Information
Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Casein is a slow-digesting protein powder designed for overnight muscle recovery. It is primarily used as a bedtime shake to supply the body with a steady release of nutrients. Unlike fast-absorbing whey, this product forms a gel in the stomach to delay digestion. This unique mechanism ensures your muscles receive a continuous stream of protein while you sleep. It is also ideal for long periods during the day when you cannot eat a meal.Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Casein formula is powered by 24 grams of pure micellar casein per serving.
