Nutricost Casein Protein Powder — Micellar Casein, Vanilla

Whey protein is built for speed, but muscle recovery doesn't stop when you fall asleep. Nutricost Casein Protein Powder is 100% micellar casein, a slow-digesting protein that releases amino acids gradually over hours rather than all at once, making it the protein of choice for overnight recovery or long gaps between meals.

Where a whey shake gets absorbed quickly, this micellar casein forms a gel-like structure in the stomach that slows digestion, feeding your muscles steadily while you sleep instead of leaving them without amino acids for hours. It's gluten-free and GMO-free, a clean, single-ingredient-focused formula built for a specific job rather than a do-everything blend.

For lifters who already understand the difference between fast and slow protein, this is the casein half of a complete protein strategy, best taken before bed or during extended periods without food. The vanilla flavor mixes into a thick, satisfying shake, more like a pudding than a typical protein drink, exactly what you'd expect from a true casein formula.
