Some people may wonder what casein protein is when they are going to pick up their new jug of whey protein. Casein protein is actually pretty essential depending on how into fitness you are. Ever wonder what happens to your body when you go to sleep? Your not eating every 2-3 hours so your body goes catabolic right? Yeah sadly (even though sleep is important) so here are two things casein protein is good for.
BEFORE BED- Before bed is the main reason people take it. If you have a shake before bed it is a "long lasting" protein so it helps your body from not going catabolic while you sleep.
AS A SNACK- If your on the go and forgot your snack and are scared your going to go over the 2-3 hour limit of not eating, casein is great. Since it is long lasting it will act like a little snack, whey protein will to but you have less time to get something else in your stomach since whey protein is fast absorbing and your body digests it very quickly.
If you got a couple bills to pay and moneys kind of hard for you at the time you need it here is an alternative. Take your whey protein and mix it with milk. Since milk is a slow digesting product it will act KIND OF like a casein. The whey is fast absorbing but the milk helps it counter act a little. That's just a suggestion if you don't have the cash to buy the casein at that time.
