Optimum Nutrition 100% Casein Chocolate Supreme 2 lbs

THE TRUE STRENGTH OF CASEIN

Rapid protein use is desirable immediately before and after exercise to help refuel recovering muscles, but delayed digestion and absorption may be more beneficial at other time - including bedtime when your body typically goes for hours without food. Casein proteins are acid sensitive and thicken in the stomach. Because of this, it can take more than twice as long for our Gold Standard 100% Casein™ to be broken down into its amino acid subcomponents than other proteins. By using only premium micellar casein, weve created a protein formula thats truly time-released.
