Casein Protein Shakes

[sirskeletron]

I am going to buy some of this because I heard it was a very slow digesting protein and was wondering a few things...

1) Anyone know how long it actually takes..?

2) How much should I Mix in my before bed shake? (I am 180 lbs.)

I would think this would be an excellent choice to drink right before bed so a steady amount of protein will be digested throughout the time I sleep. Anybody else drink these shakes before bed? or at all? Thanks for any help!!

in lieu of the shakes, I eat cottage cheese I'd go for the metrx protein mix though if i had more cash for protein..its got casein and lots of other good stuff and digests slow

If you add some oil it will last a couple of hours but not the whole night. Its difficult to say how long because everybody processes food a little differently. Try 25-35 grams mixed with some flax before bed.

At least 40 grams with some olive oil. The protein should digest slowly throughout the night.
