The true strength of casein Faster digesting protein is desirable immediately before and after exercise to help fuel recovering muscles, but slow digestion and absorption may be more beneficial at other times - including bedtime when your body typically goes for hours without food. Casein proteins are acid sensitive and tend to thicken in the stomach. Compared to some other proteins, it can take longer for our Gold Standard 100% Casein to be broken down into its amino acid subcomponents.

Formulation re: Does NOT Contain

Gold Standard Casein is also free of artificial flavors, sweeteners, and synthetic colors and uses only protein from premium micellar casein to create a protein formula that's truly time-released.

Suggested/Recommended/Usage/Directions

Directions: Shaker: Using a shaker cup is the easiest and most convenient way to mix up a consistently great casein shake every time. Just add one scoop of Gold Standard 100% Casein to your shaker cup and then pour in 10-12 fl oz of your preferred beverage. Cover and shake for 25-30 seconds. Tip: Adjust the intensity of your Gold Standard 100% Casein by varying the amount of liquid that you use to prepare it. For a bolder flavor with slightly more body and sweetness, mix one scoop with 8-10 fl oz of water, milk, or your favorite beverage. For a milder tasking, less sweet shake, use 12-14 fl oz of liquid per scoop. Don't have a shaker cup? Visit www.optimumnutrition.com and order a custom shaker, or visit your local health food store or gym. Blender: Add one scoop of Gold Standard 100% Casein to a blender filled with 10-12 fl oz of water, milk, or your favorite beverage. Blend for 20-30 seconds. Then add 3-4 ice cubes and blend for an additional 30 seconds. Shake up your shake: By adding a few high-energy ingredients to your shake you can blend a delicious meal: Try adding fresh or frozen fruits (strawberries, bananas, peaches, etc.), peanut butter, flaxseed oil, yogurt, coconut, slivered almonds, or other ingredients. Stack your shake: By adding supplements like micronized creatine, glutamine, taurine, and/or instantized BCAA powders, you can make Gold Standard 100% Casein an even more powerful recovery product. Spoon stirred: If you forgot your shaker cup or don't have time to get out the blender, you can just add one scoop of Gold Standard 100% Casein to a glass filled with 10-12 fl oz of cold water, milk or your favorite beverage. Then mix it up with a spoon for about 30 seconds or until powder is dissolved. Suggested Use: For healthy adults, consume enough protein to meet your daily protein requirements with a combination of high protein foods and protein supplements throughout the day as part of a balanced diet and exercise program.
