    Casein Questions

    I have been using Casein protein powder before bed ED.

    Is it really everything it's made out to be?

    I'm using ON right now and hate it. It turns into pancake batter consistency when mixed. Used to use Mycellean by VPX but's gone. Any suggestions?

    I used to drink NitroTech Nighttime (different from regular nitrotrech) before bed and it worked fine.

    if you mix your regular powder with some milk before bed it will slow down the digestion just like any 'nighttime' protein. you could also just have a handful of almonds or peanuts or some flaxseed because fat slows down the digestion of everything in your stomach. casein protein is just powdered milk. if you want to make your own protein mix for before bed, check out www.proteinfactory.com
    you can make custom protein powders with whatever sources you want and your own flavors, sizes and supplements.

    I know I have to make myself like cottage cheese. It's tuff! Ok when mixed with jelly or something still can't eat it straight.

    Casein is a slow protein unlike whey which is fast. Its thicker too.
    Casein is good before bed but i usually eat a can of tuna. A protein serving before bed is better than no protein serving before bed.
