100% Casein Protein


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).

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.
