The evidence in words
The verdict
For overnight muscle synthesis, Casein Protein earns evidence grade B (small effect, mixed consistency) — there is real evidence here. Pre-sleep dosing
How it might work
Its slow digestion provides a prolonged amino-acid trickle, of theoretical benefit overnight or between meals.
How to use it
Safety & cautions
Very safe; contains lactose.
Bottom line
A fine slow protein, best pre-sleep or as a meal replacement. The whey-vs-casein debate matters far less than hitting daily protein.
