Active Ingredients

Casein Protein

Casein protein is one of the two main proteins found in cow’s milk.

Unlike whey, casein is an extremely slowly absorbed protein, which makes it more useful for more general consumption throughout the day, rather than post-workout.

Due to its slow absorption, it’s often taken before bed time, to allow a steady release of protein throughout the night.

Research shows that it’s very effective for muscle recovery and growth (1).

Milk Protein Isolate

Milk protein isolate is a refined form of both the proteins found in milk (whey and casein). This means the formula may contain moderate amounts of whey protein, too.

Who Takes It?

Athletes wanting a slow-release protein for general or night-time consumption will benefit from using Nitro Tech Casein Gold.

How to Take

Mix 1 scoop (32g) with 250mL water or milk, and consume either before bed or as desired.

Side Effects

Excess protein consumption may worsen an existing kidney or liver condition.

Pros

Conclusion

Nitro Tech Casein Gold is a basic protein supplement, which is designed for night time consumption.

It’s made up mostly of casein protein, which is known to be extremely effective for muscle development, as well as slow-releasing, making it perfect to take before bed.

Although it may provide a small edge, casein protein isn’t entirely necessary if the rest of your protein intake is adequate.
