Optimum Nutrition - Casein
Low Carb Slow Digesting, Anti Catabolic Miceller Protein With Glutamine!
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 subcomponents
than whey and other proteins. Casein is the most abundant protein
present in milk. It is considered a high quality protein because it is
easily assimilated and it supplies sufficient quantities of amino acids
that cannot be synthesized by the body.
Another benefit is
increased satiety (feeling of fullness or satisfaction). Casein exerts a
slight pressure on the stomach walls. In effect, this pressure signals
to the brain to stop eating because the stomach is full. Casein is the
most slowly digested and absorbed type of protein. This helps create a
timed-release effect, providing a steady stream of amino acids to your
muscles over a long period of time. The net result is a greatly enhanced
anti-catabolic environment which is much more friendly to growth and
recovery.
Bodybuilders and athletes looking to build lean
muscle, prevent muscle breakdown, and reduce recovery times, and
individuals interested in improving the quality of their sleep can
greatly benefit from casein.

Directions
Use ON 100% Casein Protein first thing in the morning, immediately before bed, in place of small meals, and/or any other time when delayed protein absorption is desired. To encourage a positive nitrogen balance, consume approximately 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight per day from a combination of high protein foods and supplements. For even better results, consume your daily protein allotment over several small meals spread evenly throughout the day.
