Casein proteins are acid sensitive and thicken in the stomach. Because of this, it can take more than twice as long for our Gold Standard 100% Casein to be broken down into its amino acids subcomponents than other proteins. By using only premium micellar casein, we"ve created a protein formula that"s truly time-released. Beyond the Basics * Loaded with 100% Micellar Casein * 24 grams of time-released protein per serving. * Contains Aminogen digestive enzymes to enhance utilization. * Over 5 grams of BCAAs (Leucine, Isoleucine, and Valine). * Nearly 5 grams of Glutamine & glutamine precursors in every scoop.
