100% Casein Protein Gold Standard is a slow digesting protein powder.  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 sub-components than whey and other proteins. Because of their unique time-released qualities, caseins are aptly described as anti-catabolic or muscle-protecting proteins.

• Recommended Usage:
  SHAKER:  Bringing a shaker cup with you to the gym is the perfect way to get a hefty dose of protein immediately after your workout.  Just add 1 heaping scoop of Gold Standard 100% Casein to your shaker cup and then pour in 8-12 ounces of your preferred beverage.  Cover and shake for 25-30 seconds. 
  
  BLENDER:  Add 1 heaping scoop of  Gold Standard 100% Casein powder to a blender filled with 8-12 fl. oz of water, nonfat milk, or your favorite beverage.  Add several ice cubes and mix on highest speed for 45-60 seconds. 
  
  SPOON STIRRED:  Gold Standard 100% Casein is instantized.  That means if you forgot your shaker cup or don't have time to get out the blender, you can just add 1 heaping scoop of Gold Standard 100% Casein to a glass filled with 8-12 oz of water, nonfat milk or your favorite beverage.  Then mix it up with a spoon.  Stir for about 30 seconds or until powder is completely dissolved.
  
  STACK YOUR SHAKE: By adding other supplements including creatine, glutamine, taurine (e.g. CGT 10), and BCAA powders, you can make Gold Standard 100% Casein an even more powerful post-workout recovery product.

• Who Uses Gold Standard 100% Casein?

  

  Rachel Ponder

  “This is a staple for me when dieting. I have it at night because the slow digesting benefits keep me from being famished the next morning and it's like a nightly treat!! I don't drink it though; I mix it with a little bit of water and nut butter to make a nice pudding batter and stick in the fridge for 10-20 min. If I'm wanting a warm treat, I'll mix it with a little egg whites and microwave for 1 min and top it with some nut butter!”

  

  Tobias Young

  “I like to cook and bake with casein because of the thicker texture, but I also love my protein pudding. Casein is a night time staple for me because I want the slow release of aminos in my blood stream as I sleep. Casein also helps keep me satisfied, so I don't wake up hungry in the middle of the night.”

  “Gold Standard 100% Casein is a great source of night time recovery. I mix up casein an hour before bed to help rebuild and recover and to keep me full throughout the night. Casein protein can help provide longer lasting amino acid support compared to whey”
