Support round-the-clock muscle recovery and prevent muscle breakdown while you sleep with Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Casein. Formulated for athletes, lifters, and active individuals looking to optimize nighttime nutrition, this premium slow-digesting protein delivers a sustained release of amino acids over several hours.

Key Benefits & Features

• Sustained Overnight Recovery: Delivers 24g of slow-digesting micellar casein protein per serving to feed working muscles while you sleep.

• Anti-Catabolic Support: Helps safeguard against muscle tissue breakdown during extended periods between meals or overnight fasting.

• Rich in Essential BCAAs: Packed with naturally occurring Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) and Glutamine to encourage steady muscle repair.

• Thick, Satisfying Texture: Naturally thicker consistency creates a satisfying, pudding-like shake that helps curb late-night cravings.

• Low Sugar & Fat: Fits seamlessly into lean muscle-building, recomposition, or weight management nutrition plans.

How It Works

Unlike fast-acting whey protein which digests rapidly, micellar casein is acid-sensitive in the stomach, forming a slow-release gel matrix. This unique property allows the protein to be broken down gradually, providing a slow, steady trickle of amino acids into the bloodstream for up to 7–8 hours.

By keeping your body in a positive nitrogen balance throughout the night, Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Casein helps prevent muscle breakdown (catabolism) and supports continuous tissue repair and muscle protein synthesis during rest periods.

Mix 1 rounded scoop (approx. 33g) with 300–360 ml of cold water, milk, or your favorite beverage in a shaker cup. Shake thoroughly for 30 seconds. Consume right before bed, or between meals when long periods without protein are expected.
