Product Information
Full details
Pure Casein by Bodybuilding Warehouse is an ultra-premium micellar casein protein powder designed for individuals seeking sustained protein release to support muscle growth and recovery. Its primary benefit is its ultra-slow digestion, making it ideal for consumption before bed or between meals to provide a prolonged trickle feed of amino acids to your muscles. A minor consideration is that chocolate flavors may have slightly less protein per serving due to the inclusion of cocoa powder. This product offers a complete protein source that is low in carbohydrates and fats, easy to mix, and available in great-tasting flavors.

FAQs
What is the best time to take Pure Casein Protein?
The optimal time for Pure Casein is approximately 30 minutes before bed due to its slow-digesting properties, which provide sustained amino acid release overnight. It can also be taken between meals for prolonged nutrient delivery.
How much protein is in a 5kg tub?
A 5kg tub contains 200 servings (based on a 25g serving size), providing approximately 36.88g of protein per 50g serving (2 scoops).
Can I mix Pure Casein with milk?
Yes, you can mix Pure Casein with water or skimmed milk. Using skimmed milk may slightly alter the nutritional profile by adding carbohydrates and fats.
Is Pure Casein suitable for vegetarians?
The ingredients list does not specify if it is suitable for vegetarians. It is derived from milk, which is acceptable for lacto-vegetarians. However, for vegans, this product is not suitable.
Are there any allergens in Pure Casein Protein?
Yes, Pure Casein contains milk and less than 1% soy (from Soy Lecithin). Individuals with dairy or soy allergies should avoid this product.
How does Pure Casein differ from whey protein?
Pure Casein is a slow-digesting protein, ideal for sustained release, while whey protein is fast-digesting and typically used for immediate post-workout recovery. Casein forms a gel in the stomach, leading to slower absorption.
What flavors are available and how do they affect nutrition?
The product is available in multiple flavors. Nutritional values provided are based on the Vanilla version. Chocolate flavors may have around 3% less protein per 100g due to the addition of cocoa powder.
Troubleshooting
Powder not mixing smoothly
Ensure you are using a shaker and shaking vigorously for at least 20-30 seconds. Adding a small amount of liquid first, then the powder, and shaking can also help. If clumping persists, ensure the powder is not damp and the liquid is not excessively cold.
Product tastes different from usual
Nutritional values and taste can vary slightly between flavors, especially between Vanilla and Chocolate. Ensure the product has been stored correctly in a cool, dry place. Check the batch number and expiry date.
Digestive discomfort after consumption
While designed for slow digestion, some individuals may experience initial discomfort. Try reducing the serving size or mixing with more liquid. Ensure you are not consuming other dense foods immediately before or after the shake. If discomfort persists, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
Clumping in the container
This can occur due to humidity. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed after every use and store in a very dry environment. If minor clumping has occurred, it can usually be broken up with a fork.
