Aside from getting your fast absorbing protein immediately after your workout, like a WPI, it is important to get a steady flow of amino acids and protein to those tired muscle tissues long after you leave the gym.
What better way to accomplish this task than with Night time or slow release protein?
Casein, the most common protein source in night time or slow release products, has a time released formula allowing the amino acids and protein to absorb in your stomach slowly, providing hours of repair and maintenance making it the perfect before bed treat.
Night time formulas make a great meal replacement alternative too. Slow release formulas are generally a little thicker than a regular whey protein, therfore a little more filling and beacuase they are absorbed more slowly, will leave you feeling fuller for longer.
