GREGORY CHANDLER ON CASEIN FOR SLOW PROTEIN RELEASE

Whey protein is the main protein for bodybuilders. Whey makes up about 20% of the protein in milk. Casein protein makes up the other 80%.

Casein, unlike whey, is very slow digesting, which makes it a perfect protein to drink right before bedtime, when you are heading into seven or more hours without eating. Since casein protein is slowly digested, it provides the body with a steady supply of amino acids throughout the night when your body is in a fasting state. This protects your muscle mass from being broken down and used for fuel while you sleep.

Casein is also a good between-meal supplement for those trying to pack on more mass. Research shows that casein doesn't make you feel as full as whey protein does, which means you will be able to eat more at your next meal.

I would advise one to take 20 to 40 grams of casein protein right before bed and between meals for boosting muscle mass.
