Casein Protein
Casein Protein- Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
- Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
- For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.
This supplement has been used in connection with the following health conditions:
Used for Amount Why Athletic PerformanceRefer to label instructions
[2 stars] Casein protein is more slowly digested than other animal proteins, resulting in a slower, prolonged rise in blood levels of amino acids, so some speculate that it may better support protein synthesis by the body compared with proteins like whey protein that are more rapidly digested.
ObesityRefer to label instructions
[2 stars] Casein protein in milk may aid weight loss due to its effect on appetite, calorie burning, and body composition.
Casein is the main protein found in milk. Similar to other animal proteins, casein is a complete protein, providing generous amounts of essential amino acids.1 However, it is digested more slowly than most other animal proteins, resulting in a more prolonged release of amino acids into the bloodstream.2Copyright 2013 Aisle7.

Comments about GNC Pro Performance® 100% Pure Casein Protein - Vanilla:
I haven't tried many to compare, due to the costs, if there were smaller samples I would try more - it is a big investment.
I got Casein as a supplement for before bed, and to supplement other shakes/smoothies when I wanted a slower acting protein to stay full longer.
Due to price, and the store clerk telling me other found the other product gritty, I tried it. I find it does clump, but when used in blender or mixed slowly with whisk it is fine. I like this flavor because I can add anything to it to change the flavor - I do not find the taste awful, I often mix it with water to just a pudding consistency for a treat before bed. I find it smooths out more with water.Pros

Comments about GNC Pro Performance® 100% Pure Casein Protein - Vanilla:
I use casein protein 2x a day. I mix one scoop with 12oz of water and take at breakfast and then again before I retire to my rack. I've noticed a decrease in muscle soreness and an increase in muscle size, strength, and overall development.
