Details

Contains Aminogen. 29 Servings. Provides 23 g of protein per serving! 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. Because of these unique time-released qualities, caseins are aptly described as being anti-catabolic, or muscle-protecting, proteins.

Serving scoop included, but may settle to the bottom during shipping. Carefully manufactured in the USA.

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 positive nitrogen balance, consume approximately 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight per day from a combination of high protein per pound of body weight per day from a combination of high protein foods and supplements. For better results, consume your daily protein allotment over 4-6 meals spread evenly throughout the day. Blender: (Easy - A little more involved but worth the trouble) Add one heaping scoop of ON 100% Casein Protein to a blender filled with 10-12 fl oz of cold water or milk. Cover and blend for 20-30 seconds. Add 1-2 ice cubes then blend for an additional 30 seconds. Enjoy. For a delicious smoothie, try adding fruits, peanut butter, yogurt, shredded coconut, and/or other ingredients (along with the ice cubes) to your blended casein protein shake. Shaker (Easier - Quick and convenient) Fill a shaker bottle with 10-12 fl oz of cold water or milk. Add one heaping scoop of ON 100% Casein Protein. Cover and shake for 25-30 seconds. Glass and Spoon: (Easiest - Fast and simple) Simply add one heaping scoop of ON 100% Casein Protein to a tall glass. Add 10-12 fl oz of cold water or milk. Mix with a spoon for about 20 seconds or until powder is well disbursed. Store in a cool, dry place.
