Optimum Nutrition 100% Casein Protein is a slow-digesting, anti-catabolic (muscle-sparing) milk protein with unique, time-released characteristics. Of all the proteins out there (soy, egg, whey, etc.), casein is the most slowly digested. As caseins digest, they form a gel in the acidic environment of the stomach - helping to promote a feeling of fullness (satiety) that can then stave off hunger for longer periods of time; this makes casein a valuable tool for dieters or anyone that suffers from the occasional craving. What's more, the steady stream of amino acids supplied by casein help protect against muscle breakdown (catabolism).
- An instantized blend of pure, slow digesting casein-based pro- teins including highly anti-catabolic micellar casein.
- 23 g of protein and over 9 g of BCAAS, glutamine, and glutamine precursors per scoop
- Only 3-4 g of carbs

Recommended Dosage: 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.
