THE BIGGER PICTURE OF CASEIN Rapid protein use is desirable immediately before and after exercise to help fuel recovering muscles, but delayed 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 thicken in the stomach. Because of this, it can take more than twice as long for our Gold Standard 100% Casein(TM) to be broken down into its amino acid subcomponents than other proteins. By using only premium micellar casein, we've created a protein formula that's truly time-released.

TIP: Try using "slower" Gold Standard 100% Casein(TM) with "faster" proteins like Gold Standard 100% Whey(TM) or Pro Complex(R) at different times for maximum effectiveness. Take Gold Standard 100% Casein(TM) immediately before bed and in between meals when delayed protein delivery is desired. Drink Gold Standard 100% Whey(TM) or Pro Complex(R) proteins before and immediately after workouts for a rapid "shot" of amino acids.

Suggested/Recommended/Usage/Directions

DIRECTIONS: Using a shaker cup is the easiest and most convenient way to mix up a consistently great casein shake every time. Just add one heaping scoop of Gold Standard 100% Casein(TM) to your shaker cup and then pour in 10-12 oz of your preferred beverage. Cover and shake for 25-30 seconds. TIP: Adjust the intensity of your Gold Standard 100% Casein(TM) by varying the amount of liquid that you use to prepare it. For a bolder flavor with slightly more body and sweetness, mix one heaping scoop with 8-10 oz of water, milk, or your favorite beverage. For a milder tasting, less sweet shake, use 12-14 oz of liquid per scoop.
