Gold Standard 100 % Casein by Optimum Nutrition is the ideal protein source for those looking for a slow-release supplement. This 1.8 Kg product contains high-quality micellar casein, which digests gradually, allowing for a continuous supply of amino acids over several hours, particularly beneficial during the night or fasting periods. With 24 grams of protein per serving, this formula is rich in calcium, glutamine, and BCAAs, essential for optimal recovery post-exercise. Additionally, its denser texture helps control hunger, making it ideal for those looking to manage their weight. Gold Standard 100 % Casein is aimed at bodybuilders and athletes seeking to maintain a positive nitrogen balance in their routines. It is recommended to mix 1 heaping scoop (approx. 33 g) with 300-360 ml of water or milk, preferably just before bed.
