Why do you use casein powder?

I personally think this is a gimmick and am wondering why people continue to use it.

Take some fat and protein before bed or ff cottage cheese or skim milk.

yea. ive been using syntha-6 and def not buying it again. i mean dont get me wrong its a good product but i def see what youre getting at, some natural cottage cheese or milk should do the trick.

I know it can keep me up sometimes no matter how distant it his from bed. Probably just an instant way for slow release protein after a long, tiring day? No clue I never have gotten it just because supps are expensive as it is.

It takes the same amount of time to drink a glass of milk as it does to drink a glass of casein powder in water.

I wouldn't want the milk sugar before bed. Cottage cheese? Have to measure it put it in a dish, etc.

Who cares it's their decision.

To save money and quit buying worthless stuff. First knock off glutamine now on to casein. Carbs are protein sparing :)

I dont use it really but if they are wanting protein a glass of milk isnt no where the same amount of protein

gram for gram casein is the higher concentrate

Why do you need 25g of protein though while you sleep. Maybe that should be the heart of the discussion. I think you would be fine with 2 glasses of milk - 16g of protein or even none at all.
