Suggested Use: Consume approximately 1 gram of protein per pound
of body weight per day through a combination of high protein
foods and supplements. For best results, consume your daily
protein allotment over several small meals spread evenly
throughout the day. TIP: Try using "slower" Gold Standard 100%
Casein with "faster" proteins like Gold Standard 100% Whey or Pro
Complex at different times for maximum effectiveness. Take Gold
Standard 100% Casein immediately before bed and in between meals
when delayed protein delivery is desired. Drink Gold Standard
100% Whey or Pro Complex proteins before and immediately after
workout for a rapid "" of amino s. Directions:Using a
shaker cup is the easiest and most convenient way to mix up a
consistently great casein shake every time. Just add one heaping
scoop of Gold Standard 100% Casein to your shaker cup and then
pour in 10-12 oz of your preferred beverage. Cover and shake for
25-30 seconds. TIP: Adjust the intensity of your Gold Standard
100% Casein by varying the a of liquid that your use to
prepare it. For a bolder flavor with slightly more body and
sweetness, mix one heaping scoop with 8-10 oz of water, milk, or
your favorite beverage. For a milder tasting, less sweet shake,
use 12-14 oz of liquid per scoop. Don't have a shaker cup? Visit
optimumtion.com and and order a custom shaker, or visit your
local food store or gym. Blender: Add one heaping scoop of
Gold Standard 100% casein to a blender filled with 10-12 oz of
water, milk, or your favorite beverage. Blend for 20-30 seconds.
THen add 3-4 ice cubes and blend for an additional 30 seconds.
Shake Up Your Shake: By adding a few high-energy ingredients to
your shake you can blend up a delicious meal: try adding fresh or
frozen fruits (strawberries, banans, peaches, etc.), peanut
butter, flaxseed oil, yogurt, coconut, slivered almonds, or other
ingredients. Stack Your Shake: By adding supplements like
Micronized Creatine, Glutamine, Taurine, and/or Instantized BCAA
powders, you can make Gold Standard 100% Casein an even more
powerful recovery product. Spoon Stirred: If you forgot your
shaker cup or don't have time to get out the blender, you can
just add one heaping scoop of Gold Standard 100% Casein to a
glass filled with 10-12 oz of cold water, milk, or your favorite
beverage. THen mix it up with a spoon for about 30 seconds or
until powder is dissolved. INGREDIENTS Optimum tion - 100%

- Optimum tion - 100% Casein Gold Standard Creamy Vanilla - 2 lbs. (909 g) Optimum tion 100% Casein Gold Standard Creamy Vanilla Protein is slow-acting and aminogen enhanced. 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 ic environment of the stomach. As a result, it can take more than twice as long for caseins to be broken-down into their amino subcomponents than whey and other proteins. Because of their unique time-released qualities, caseins are aptly described as anti-catabolic or muscle-protecting proteins. Beyond the Basics Loaded with 100% Micellar Casein 24 grams of time-released protein per serving Contains Aminogen digestive enzymes to enhance utilization Over 5 grams of BCAAs (Leucine, Isoleucine, and Valine) Nearly 5 grams of Glutamine & glutamine precursors in every scoop More than 5 grams of BCAAs The Bigger Picture of Casein Rapid protein use is desirable immediately before and after exercise to help refuel recovering muscles, but delayed digestion and absorption may be more beneficial at other times - including bedtime when your body typically goes for hours without food. Casein proteins are sensitive and thicken in the stomach. Because of this, it can take more than twice as long for Optimum tion's Gold Standard 100% Casein to be broken down into its amino subcomponents than other proteins. By using only premium micellar casein, they've created a protein formula that's truly time-released. About Optimum tion Optimum tion, Inc.
