FAQ
How should I use this protein powder for best results?
Consume one serving mixed with water or milk after workouts or before bed to support muscle recovery during rest periods. Shake thoroughly in a shaker cup for smooth consistency.
Is this product suitable for vegetarians?
No, as micellar casein is derived from milk, it is not vegetarian-friendly. It contains dairy-based ingredients that provide complete protein profiles.
Can I use it if I have lactose intolerance?
While casein is a milk protein, it may contain lactose; individuals with severe lactose intolerance should consult a healthcare professional before use, as sensitivities can vary.
How does micellar casein differ from other proteins?
Micellar casein digests slowly, providing a steady release of amino acids over hours, which is ideal for preventing muscle catabolism during fasting periods like sleep.
Why was this product discontinued by the manufacturer?
Discontinuation may relate to product line updates or reformulations; however, existing stock maintains original quality and efficacy from Optimum Nutrition’s high standards.
