Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Casein

When it comes to protein digestion, slow and steady wins the race and this is where Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Casein comes in. Consuming casein protein is an easy way to increase your daily protein intake which is important for gaining muscle and supporting recovery. This particular type of protein takes longer to breakdown and digest than regular whey protein which prolongs muscle protein synthesis. For this reason, casein protein is likely to be better suited for after a workout whereas whey may be better to use before training. Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Casein comes in three amazing flavours which will leave you licking your lips.

Key Ingredients

Micellar casein is a type of protein that, like whey, is derived from milk. The difference between the two is that casein takes much longer to digest and breakdown, so muscle protein synthesis is prolonged when casein is ingested. Casein protein is commonly used around bedtime by bodybuilders who are looking to keep their muscles fed whilst they are sleeping.
