CASEIN > WHEY 90% OF THE TIME

[hattrick]

Casein and whey are the two main types of protein found in milk.


Whey is fast digesting
Casein is slow digesting

This means for muscle growth, the best time to take whey is only right after a work out to maximize muscle-protein synthesis

but outside of that window, you'll want to take casein to mitigate muscle protein breakdown including BEFORE BED.

Why such an emphasis on milk protein?
Dairy has the greatest increase in IGF-1 levels compared with other proteins. COMPLETE DAIRY MOG.

On top of this, Casein OUTPREFORMS whey in increases in IGF-1 levels

"ERM, BUT DUDE, I COULD JUST DRINK WHEY EVERY 5 HOURS TO GET THE SAME EFFECT!"
STFU!
You're gonna feel bloated and gassy 24/7 from whey's insanely quick digestion speeds. NOT WORTH IT.


So only 20% of the time (after workouts), you'll have whey.
And 80% of the time, you'll want to have casein in your system.

doesnt matter

That’s what I’m doing now. Casein doesn’t go down as well but hopefully the overnight effect does something

If you're taking protein powders it's already over.

just eat meat

What about vegan powders they have good amino profiles and better price, what are the downsides?

 

[Danish_Retard]

Problem is it tastes disgusting compared to whey

usually they don’t actually have a very good amino profile

Whey is probably at least as good as casein.

or you could eat nutrient dense whole foods that have protein that digests reasonably slowly. Also jfl if you think the slower digestion from casein is going to result in any noticeable difference in muscle protein synthesis vs breakdown. Caseine may prevent muscle breakdown for longer than why does, but it also synthesizes less muscle. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter, chad doesn't drink either
