Can I just take casein protein?

[whiteflag6]

Can i just take casein protein instead of whey ? I know alot of people use both but would it be good enough on its own?

 

[SteveMobsterG]

Yes.

the cookie cutter thing that was pushed during the 90's is you are supposed to take the whey during the day and casein before bed. this was pushed in bodybuilding magz to sell more supplements of course

the reality is we now know this was a ruse. you don't need protein shakes to build muscle. i've probably had 3 protein shakes in the past 20 years. eat a grassfed steak

Can you? Yes. But I'm not sure why youd want to. Casein is more expensive, takes longer to digest and is harder to mix in a shake. It comes out really thick. Casein is never necessary imo

I really don't like casein. Google 'casein and cancer' and see how many studies come up. Casein is very hard for the human body to digest.

Whey protein is a much cleaner protein source

I would stick to whey or just food.

 

[SteveMobsterG]

But you still can if you want to

You can but whey isolate is a superior protein in my opinion. I would still prefer you eat real food though.
