Product Description
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. * Picture may be of different size or flavor

 Works, but vanilla not the best October 24, 2008
This is a good product for slow-acting protein needs (i.e. taken before bedtime to prevent muscle breakdown). But try one of the other flavors. Vanilla is passable, but not the best I've had.
Also, it is not spoon-mixable. You really need a shaker to blend it well enough (unlike Optimum's whey protein product).
 Best Casein Protein Around, Totally Avoid Banana July 24, 2008
Casein is meant to be a slow-release protein that you drink before bed in order to stop your body from braking down muscle mass. Also, it's incredibly filling, so you won't go to bed feeling hungry. I've tried other Casein proteins and none of them taste as good as Ultimate Nutrition's.
I works just fine mixing it with water as long as you use a blender, but with a shaker it comes out rather lumpy.
One thing, Totally AVOID the Banana flavor. It tastes awful when mixed in water, and it has a terrible after-taste. I can usually drink any flavor of protein drink, but this one is a real challenge. Vanilla is surprisingly good mixed simply in a blender with water.

What people need to realize here is that this is casein which I think MUST be mixed with a blender unless you enjoy clumps. This is by far the most pleasant casein product I've used to date. Someone said this has an awful after taste, how untrue! I can't tell you how many times I've just thrown the stuff away. Not this product! I add this to skim milk then use a small hand blender to mix. I then add crushed ice and mix again. This easily replaces my desire for a late night treat and I no longer wake up starving.
how to use this product... June 8, 2008

... complaints about problems mixing this product are because they are being posted by newbs. Heres how you do it...you do not have to use warm water as some newbs say to blend a smooth shake, in fact use the coldest water you want, even add ice to a shaker cup, the ice may even help the mixing process, then MOST IMPORTANT add the powder on top of the water and shake. Perfect everytime. Only newbs put the powder in a shaker then add water and complain about chunks. Chocolate and Vanilla are tasty with just water, the banana is garbage unless you mix with milk.
Delicious slow release protein May 22, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I've been ordering the ON brand 100% Casein Protein in the 4 lb. tubs from Amazon (All Star Health) for about a year now and I have nothing but positive things to say. The shakes are perfect to take right before bed due to their sustained protein release (that's what Casein is all about) and the chocolate flavor tastes great. (I haven't tried the other flavors yet-but I just ordered the banana cream.) As for comments from previous reviewers about difficulty mixing this protein-I can honestly say I haven't had a problem. Whether using water or milk, this protein mixes up just fine in a simple shaker cup. Of course I usually have to spoon the last bit of protein out of the cup when I'm finished as it tends to be slightly on the thick side. If you need a slow release protein and enjoy the taste of chocolate pudding-buying this protein should be a no-brainer. I'm also impressed with how fast I receive my shipments. On average, shipments consistently arrive a week or less after placing an order. Great product, great delivery-I highly recommend.
