Review on Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Micellar Casein Protein Powder - Slow Digesting, 🥛 Satiating, Overnight Muscle Recovery - Cookies and Cream Flavor, 2 lb (Packaging May Vary) by Kenneth Seymour

This is amazing. I used to allow myself a couple of times and the first few weeks after returning to the gym were worse as my muscles hurt terribly for a long time. This time I gained 20 pounds of fat and became very lazy after the gyms closed and exercise equipment prices skyrocketed, plus I quit my active job in hospitality to start my career behind a monitor. I wanted to give myself the best chance to get back in shape. This is the first time I've bought casein because in the past I've always made sure I'm getting enough bread from my daily diet. But after using casein, my recovery time was drastically reduced. I don't wake up more tired than I went to bed, even in my first few weeks in the gym. Whey doesn't compete with it at night because your body will digest it within 30 minutes and your muscles will be starved for the rest of the night. This brotein cured me of DOMS (delayed muscle pain) and I would not recommend it to anyone trying to get back into the gym or just starting out! I always thought slow-release protein was just a marketing gimmick, but this proved me wrong. It's also a pleasure to swallow knowing I'll be stuck in meetings as it's thicker and heavier than whey and keeps me full longer.
