Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Casein 1.8kg - All Reviews
Reviewer: Florence_fan
Just started body-building a few months ago and everyone said to eat cottage cheese before bed but I just CANT stand the feel of the stuff!
Was reading up on casein and its a great alternative - slow digesting it feeds your muscles all through the night, perfect!
I've now tried my protein casein and this one (optimum nutrition gold standard) and I can honestly say that when it comes to casein you get what you pay for - my protein's version was watery and just horrible, optimum nutrition casein is thick and creamy I really don't understand how these can be the same thing!
So yeah you get this in a 1.8kg tub which lasts about a month and a half (50 nights worth) which is pretty good value at around 40 quid, it would cost more than that to get cottage cheese which is rank.
Mixability this is a little thick but nice, creamy thick and not lumpy at all. I got chocolate and it tastes unreal, really good treat just before bed - I would very much recommend optimum gold standard casein to anyone!

Gold Standard is the only casein I would buy after having found out that other brands may not have the right label claims.
Taste is pretty good for a casein in chocolate and vanilla - not a fan of banana shakes so I can't comment on that one. Mixability is spot on and it really works since starting to take casein shakes I'm much less sore day-to-day.
Would recommend this to anyone although it is pricey at £60 for a tub (at GNC) you get what you pay for!
Reviewer: ronny
got this in vanilla flavour - never had casein before its thicker compared to a whey protein but you get used to it and i look forward to it now, my nice thick before-bed treat!
it isn't as cheap as some other casein or blend proteins but with optiumum nutrition i know that i'm getting what the label says
What Is Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Casein 1.8kg?
Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Casein Protein (1.8kg)
Optimum Nutrition Casein is a protein source which digests slowly - this is the perfect supplement for just before you sleep as your body will break down (and release) the casein over the 8 hours of sleep. Optimum Nutrition Casein is the highest quality casein available and with added Aminogen (see below) you can be sure you are getting the most from your casein supplement. ON Casein is ideal when used with ON Gold Standard Whey in a night and day combination which is used by many top bodybuilders!
Slower Digestion with Optimum Nutrition Casein
Sometimes slower is better - especially when it comes to the rate of protein digestion. While rapid protein absorption is desirable immediately before or after exercise, delayed release is probably more beneficial throughout the remainder of the day.
Gold Standard Casein
Casein proteins are pH sensitive and gel in the acidic environment of the stomach. As a result, it can take more than twice as long for caseins to be broken-down into their amino acid subcomponents than whey and other proteins. Because of their unique time-released qualities, caseins are aptly described as anti-catabolic or muscle-protecting proteins.
What Does Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Casein 1.8kg Do?
Optimum Nutrition Casein - Beyond The Basics
- 24 g of Highly Anti-Catabolic MICELLAR CASEIN
- 10 g of BCAAs, Glutamine, and Glutamine Precursors per Scoop
- AMINOGEN Enhanced
What Is Aminogen?
Aminogen, a vital ingredient in high-quality protein supplements, is clinically proven to increase amino acid levels and boost nitrogen retention. Developed by Triarco Industries, Aminogen is a patented, designer enzyme which breaks down protein and improves amino acid absorption.
A natural, plant-derived enzyme, Aminogen is ideal for increasing lean body mass and strength and promoting deep muscle recovery. And Aminogen does all this while supporting protein digestion and reducing or eliminating the gas, bloating and constipation protein can sometimes cause. Get more out of your protein and get bigger, stronger…faster with Aminogen.
