    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is micellar casein protein?

    Micellar casein is a milk protein that is digested more slowly than other proteins, providing an extended release of muscle-building amino acids that help prevent catabolism.

    What is catabolism?  

    Catabolism is the breakdown of protein. When your body goes for extended periods without food, or when it’s under significant metabolic stress during exercise, it can resort to catabolizing your muscles for energy.

    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 a shaker cup filled with 10-12 oz of your preferred beverage. Cover and shake for 25-30 seconds.

    Solid
    Been taking this casein for a few years (took a break going into college) and it does the job. I've seen muscle gain and weight loss consistently while taking it. It's a little hard to get down when you start but that's the norm with these powders. Tastes solid enough too.

    Weird consistency, even more weird taste
    IDK how this casein keeps getting such high reviews. Compared to Kaged Muscle (Vanilla) this is garbage. The flavor is just awful. It’s like an artificial vanilla almond? Also, the consistency in the of it (before mixing) is very fine; to ONs whey & and hydro-whey (which I use and enjoy). I’ve not had a problem getting it to mix. Either shake more or don’t use ice cold water! Add ice after it’s mixed....

    Bing search “consistency for casein powder:
    Casein protein powder’s ability to clump up is useful for more than just slow digestion. When the proteins in casein form a clump in the stomach, they keep you feeling full for a longer time. Since that casein powder clump takes up space in the stomach, those hunger signals will be delayed.

    I would’t recommend this stuff. I you enjoy it, cool. Different strokes for different folks
