Product Description: Natural and Artificial Flavors 24 g Protein 10 g BCAAs, Glutamine and Precursors 0 g per serving 55 servings Slow-release protein aminogen-fortified product The bigger picture of casein A quick dose of protein is essential to help fuel muscle recovery before and after exercise. Although desirable, at other times - such as at bedtime when our bodies can tolerate long periods without food - delayed digestion and absorption offers more benefits. Casein protein is sensitive to acid and thickens in the stomach. Because of these properties, our Gold Standard 100% Casein takes twice as long to break down into its amino acid subcomponents than other proteins. Utilizing only premium micellar casein, we have created a truly sustained-release protein formula that goes beyond the basics and is 100% enriched with micellar casein. 24 grams of sustained-release protein per serving. Contains aminogen digestive enzymes to strengthen the digestive tract. At least 5 grams of BCAAs (leucine, isoleucine, and valine). Nearly 5 grams of glutamine and glutamine precursors per scoop.

How to Use: Consume approximately 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight per day through high-protein foods and supplements. For maximum results, spread your daily protein needs across several small meals. Tip: For maximum benefit, try taking a “lower” Gold Standard 100% Casein with a “faster” protein like Gold Standard 100% Whey or Pro Complex, but at different times. Take Gold Standard 100% Casein right before bed and between meals when delayed protein delivery is required. If you want a quick “hit” of amino acids, drink Gold Standard 100% Whey or Pro Complex Protein right before or after your workout. Using a shaker cup is the easiest and most foolproof way to mix a great casein shake time after time. Add a generous scoop of Gold Standard 100% Casein to a shaker cup and fill with 10-12 ounces of your favorite beverage. Cover and shake for 25-30 seconds. Tip: Adjust the strength of Gold Standard 100% Casein by adjusting the amount of liquid you use. For a stronger flavor with a little more texture and sweetness, mix one heaping scoop with 8-10 ounces of water, milk, or your favorite beverage. For a slightly less sweet and mild flavor, use 12-14 ounces of liquid per scoop. Blender: Add one heaping scoop of Gold Standard 100% Casein to a blender filled with 10-12 ounces of water, milk or your favorite beverage. Mix for 20-30 seconds. Then add 3-4 ice cubes and mix for another 30 seconds. Shake Your Shake: BYou can mix up a delicious meal by adding several high-energy ingredients to your shake: fresh or frozen fruit (strawberries, bananas, peaches, etc.), peanut butter, flaxseed oil, yogurt, coconut, crushed almonds. Try putting your back in it. Stack your shake: Make Gold Standard 100% Casein an even more powerful restorative by adding supplements like microcreatine, glutamine, taurine, and instant BCAA powders. Stir with a spoon: Shaker cup If you've forgotten or don't have time to use a blender, scoop up a generous scoop of Gold Standard 100% Casein and mix it with cold water, milk, or your favorite beverage. Place in a 10-12 ounce filled glass. Then mix with a spoon for 30 seconds or until the powder is well mixed.
