ON's strict ingredients selection, quality control, lab testing and manufacturing processes are all done for one reason: to provide you with the highest quality sports nutrition products available.

Casein Protein can make the real difference and allow you to take your training to the next level. Casein Protein can take up to 7 hours to digest, which is just about as long as the average person sleeps every night, and that makes it the perfect solution to avoid protein breakdown and amino acid oxidation during your sleeping period.

Remember, that any period of time you spent sleeping is a time your body is not getting any nutrients. As you are probably aware, if you run out of amino acids in your bloodstream and have a lack of protein in your muscles, your body can start breaking down muscle proteins to fuel itself.

How to 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 workouts for a rapid "shot" of amino acids.
• 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.
• Adjust the intensity of your Gold Standard 100% Casein by varying the amount of liquid that you 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 favourite beverage. For a milder tasting, less sweet shake, use 12-14 oz of liquid per scoop.
