Many athletes take casein protein as a final meal before sleeping. This is a perfect time as, during the night, you do not consume any protein for a longer period. As casein protein is slowly released to your muscles, you have a continuous supply of amino acids (the building blocks of proteins) to your muscles. Slow-release casein protein is also ideal at other times:

• In the morning to provide protein through the day
• Between meals
• When you miss a meal
• When you don’t eat a protein-rich meal within a 3-4 hour period
• During a long working day

To recover properly as an athlete, it is important that you give your body as constant a supply of proteins as possible, as these are the building blocks for your muscles. While you are exercising, tiny tears develop in your muscles. Ensuring that you have a sufficient and continuous supply of protein in your body promotes optimal muscle recovery and build-up. A daily intake of 1.6 to 1.8 g of protein per kg body weight is a good guideline and Casein Gold is ideal for this.

If your goal is muscle growth, protein is even more important. In combination with strength training, protein actually stimulates the growth of your muscles. For optimal muscle growth, the recommended daily dose is 1.8 to 2 g protein per kg of body weight.

Casein Gold in the strawberry flavor contains casein in the form of calcium caseinate. This type of casein is combined with calcium, making it highly soluble in water. The result is a creamy shake with a delicious strawberry flavor.

Due to its naturally thicker texture, the shake may be slightly dense; feel free to add a bit more water to make the casein shake thinner and easier to drink.

Casein Gold in the vanilla flavor contains micellar casein, the least processed and most natural form of casein. This type is absorbed even more slowly than calcium caseinate, making it ideal for use before bedtime. We are currently in a transition period, during which the strawberry flavor will also soon be switched to micellar casein.

Casein Gold is produced according to the (doping) standards of the NZVT system and therefore carries the NZVT logo. This means that elite athletes can use Casein Gold with confidence. This allows them to focus fully on achieving peak performance.
