johnsbod's Optimum Nutrition-100% Casein Protein, Chocolate Supreme Review

**johnsbod** · 10-13-2005, 06:44 AM

100% Casein Protein
Sometimes slower is better - especially when it comes to the rate of protein digestion. While rapid protein absorption is desirable immediately before or after exercise, delayed release is probably more beneficial throughout the remainder of the day.

Casein proteins are pH sensitive and gel in the acidic environment of the stomach. As a result, it can take more than twice as long for caseins to be broken-down into their amino acid subcomponents than whey and other proteins. Because of these unique "time-released" qualities, caseins are aptly described as being anti-catabolic, or muscle-protecting, proteins.

Comments: I just finished a 2lb container of this product and as far as taste I'd give it an 8 on a scale of 1 to 10. The price per serving is reasonable compared to other similar products, but it does not mix well. I usually mix all my protein shakes in a shaker, not a blender, and IMO a blender is a must with this product. Even in a shaker bottle this product clumps and I never was able to get it to mix well. If you use a blender I'd recommend it, but it's not the type of protein powder you can take to the office with you and mix in a shaker bottle. Did I mention that is doesn't mix well?

When I was able to choke down the chunky mixture it definately left me feeling full like I had eaten a small meal though.

I used this a while ago. It wasn't a bad product however I agree about the mixing in a shaker. Though sometimes it did suit, it would thicken up like crazy and make a good pudding!

Did yours taste like chalky ass? I ordered Calcium Caseinate from TP.com and had to buy BSL flavorings just to choke it down (I ordered tp's fruit punch flavor and couldn't even taste it, so I ordered BSL flavorings to go with it). I still don't like it but I can stand a 50%whey 50% casein solution.

Mine tasted pretty good. The main issue I had was the mixability.
