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 acidic environment of the stomach. As a result, it can take more than twice as long for caseins to be broken-down into their amino acid subcomponents than whey and other proteins. Because of their unique time-released qualities, caseins are aptly described as anti-catabolic or muscle-protecting proteins.

got the vanilla
when mixed with milk and left in the fridge for a while it turns so creamy and is like a dessert before bed
dont know what shawn chong is on about ...with water its a bit powdery that all
i have gd gains with this while using there 100% whey as well. gd for long periods without protein
will buy again !!!
I love the effect. The reason I bought this is because I seriously needed it. My body's metabolism is going seriously high lately due to my workouts (especially when I was doing DTP) and it causes me to wake up in the middle of the night looking for food.
We all know that we need uninterrupted sleep to get the best gains. So casein was the solution. As a Team MuscleTech athlete, I am really regretful to say that I have no choice to resort to another brand but I haven't have any other choices. ON has always have a great reputation, thus resulting in me trying it.
The effect was incredible. I have been having better gains and from the very FIRST day I had it, I no longer wake up in the middle of the night to look for food anymore. I still feel very hungry when I wake up in the morning though.
HOWEVER, the texture of the drink is absolutely atrocious! The taste is OK but the texture is WRONG! It doesn't matter what you mix it with, water or milk, it's no good. The only way to make it less hard to swallow is by pounding A WHOLE LOT of liquid to mix the powder. And that always result to me drinking a lotta liquid and my stomach just go absolutely bloated...=_="...
I got this because I tried a free sample, which mixed well and tasted better than most milkshakes I've had.
But this product I purchased not only doesn't mix very well, but has some weird chemically/fishy taste!
Jus got my tub today chaged from avid usn fan boy but i cant ignore ON. Tastes fine bit grainy compared to whey but still not even an issue.
The banana flavour tastes horendous but vanilla on the other hand is absolutely yummy
Some-days I train in the evening and my session finishes about 10pm, i am normally in bed by 12am. with that 2hr stretch how would you recommend taking the protein as whey is good for post training but casein is good whilst sleeping but I also take ZMA before bed and that is recommended on an empty stomach?
Take a serving of whey post workout and a serving of casein before bed.
is casein protein easier on the stomach/digestive system than whey protein as it is slow releasing and thicker?
It is generally believed that whey protein is more easily digested and absorbed and is less likely to cause irritation etc. but that depends upon the person. Generally, people get on fine with either.
why does thecCasein whey taste "griity" and the normal Op Nu whey is smooth and delicious?
Casein isn't whey. These are the two main proteins found in milk. Whey is very soluble in liquid, whereas casein can have a very slight grittyness because the particles expand slightly when exposed to water. If whey and casein are mixed 50:50, then the gritiness is not very noticeable (although most people don't notice it even when casein is mixe on its own).
