Casein protein, is it better than Whey protein?
Okay, so sometimes I’m asked what kind of protein powder is better. Is it Whey protein, is it Egg? Maybe it’s Soy protein. No, wait, it has to be Casein protein. My opinion is they are all good! They should all be used and consumed. They have, however, different strengths. I like Whey right before and right after my workout. I like Casein at nighttime and maybe even for breakfast. That is because casein protein is more slowly absorbed. It provides a steady stream of amino acids while you sleep. Whey is quick. So, its floods the muscles with amino acids fast. That’s why I prefer it before and after my workout.
There are lots of great protein powders on the market. One of my favorites is AST Sport VP2 Whey Protein Isolate
