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.

100% Casein Protein Other Ingredients:
Protein Blend (Micellar Casein, Calcium Caseinate), Cocoa (processed with
alkali), Natural & Artificial Flavors, Salt, Gum Blend (Cellulose Gum, Xanthan

100% Casein Protein 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.
