TestoRush Rx Review – Natural Testosterone Booster

by John Leave a Comment

What is TestoRush?

testorush reviewTestoRush is supposedly a special blend of natural ingredients that is designed to increase your testosterone levels, whether you have low testosterone or normal testosterone levels.

The production of testosterone usually decreases as you get older. Studies show that low testosterone can affect two out of 10 men over the age of 60, that number increases to 3 out of 10 for men between 70 and 80 years old.

Men who suffer from low testosterone or “low T” can experience a variety of symptoms if testosterone is left to decrease. Normal testosterone level usually start from 300-1000 ng/dl.

The signs of “Low T” can be subtle, but anyone who suffers from low testosterone, will probably suffer from the following symptoms.

  1. Low libido
  2. Difficulty with Erections
  3. Low Semen Volume
  4. Hair Loss
  5. Fatigue
  6. Loss of Muscle Mass
  7. Increased body Fat
  8. Decreased Bone Mass
  9. Mood Changes

However, TestoRush does not support testosterone production as such, but rather boosts nitric oxide levels.

So why it is being promoted as a testosterone booster?

It’s because nitric oxide boosters and testosterone boosters both work in a similar manner where the end result produces an increase in muscle mass, and with more muscle mass comes an increase in testosterone.

Nitric oxide allows your body to work more efficiently delivering more oxygen and nutrients to the muscle allowing you to perform more repetitions and repair the damaged muscle more efficiently lessening your recovery time and therefore building more muscle faster.

Why use TestoRush?

The main benefit using TestoRush is the main ingredient L_Arginine which is an amino acid and precursor to nitric oxide. The main benefits from Arginine is that it can aid in wound healing which is especially good when you’re breaking down muscle from a weight session. This means faster recovery.

It is also good for helping the kidneys to remove waste products from the body, maintain both the immune system and hormone function. And it can also aid in blood pressure as it helps to dilate and relax arteries.

The product also has nitric oxide as a separate ingredient.

How does TestoRush work?

The combination of the ingredients in TestoRush is designed to boost your bodies own natural testosterone production, allowing your body to produce more of its own testosterone naturally. This is important to be aware of because, the alternative to a natural product is a synthetic version.

Whilst synthetic testosterone will increase your testosterone levels, it can also cause you some unwanted side effects, not to mention having to inject yourself on a daily basis.

How do You Use it?

You can take TestoRush with your normal regime of supplements.

There are 30 capsules in a bottle of TestoRush and it supposed to last 30 days, which means you will only need to consume one capsule a day.

You can either take it with or without food. Some ingredients can cause upset stomach, so it is best to take TestoRush with food.

When Will I see Results?

Some users experience a difference in as little as a week, but others can take a little bit longer. This is because everyone has different metabolisms and some can be less sensititve to the ingredience than others, but overtime you will experience the benefits.

TestoRush Active Ingredients

From what I have gather around the web, I have found that TestoRush include the following ingredients.

Huang Qi, L-Arginine,Rou Gui,Sheng Jiang,Cordyceps Sinensis Extract,Damiana,Maca Root,Cnidium Monnier,L-Arginine,Epimedium

It really bothers me when the manufacturers make it hard for consumers to easily identify ingredients. I mean how are we supposed to make an informed decision if we don’t know what we are paying for.

Money Back Guarantee

There is a 30 day money back guarantee with this product, but note the 12 day evaluation in the Pricing & Free Trial section.

Pricing & Free Trial

There is a free trial with TestoRush. You can get the product for $0.00 dollars for 30 days supply. All you are required to pay is $2.95 which is non refundable for shipping and handling.

But note, they state on their website that you have 12 days to evaluate the product and if you’re not happy with it you can ask for a refund by calling their number +1-800-839-6766.

The full monthly price of the product is $89.95 which is automatically rebilled every month unless you cancel via the number above.

You must be over the age of 18 to purchase this product and have a valid credit card.

What I liked

With the ingredients available in TestoRush you will get the benefits of increased energy, increased focus and stamina, so from that point of view you will be able to build build and therefore increase your testosterone level naturally.

What I didn’t like

I didn’t like the fact that you had to call to cancel your monthly supply. This is not unusual practice, but it is still a pain in the butt, especially if they are not answering their phone. I have seen other reviews where this has been a problem for some in the past.

Where can you buy TestoRush

I can’t see where this product can be purchased as all of the links I tried from a number of website no longer point to the TestoRush product.

Final Conclusion

From what I can see, most if not all of the links from review websites that are recommending TestoRush no longer point to an order page of TestoRush, in fact a good number of them point to other similar products.

This leads be to believe that 1) either they no longer promote TestoRush or 2) the company are no longer producing the product. Either way, it’s not a product I would recommend.

TestoGen Review – Is it Safe? Side Effects and New Formula

by John Leave a Comment

What is TestoGen?

There is another product out in the marketplace that has a very similar name to TestoGen called TestoGen XR. TestoGen XR is a product that is produced by Ronnie Coleman, which is a totally different product. Just wanted to point that out from the outset.

The slight difference is name, I believe, has caused some confusion with people who were intending to purchase Ronnie Coleman’s product TestoGen XR, but inadvertently purchased Wolfson’s product TestoGen instead.

Anyway, I just wanted to point that out, just in case you weren’t aware of the difference, before we get any further into this review.

Okay, so now that’s awkwardly out of the way, let’s delve deeper into Wolfson’s TestoGen product.

So like a lot of Test boosters, TestoGen has been marketed as a one of the best test boosters on the market.

One of the main ingredients in TestoGen’s formula is D-Aspartic Acid, which is what a lot of top testo brands tend to use for their main testosterone boosting ingredient.

There are several published studies that show the link between taking D-aspartic acid and an increase in testosterone level.

Who manufactures TestoGen?

Testogen is manufactured by WOLFSON BERG LIMITED and from what I can tell they have been in the supplementation business for over a decade. They produce other supplements beside TestoGen, but primarily products in the bodybuilding niche.

According to their website their business address in located in Cyprus.

How does TestoGen Work?

One of the main ingredients in TestoGen is D-Aspartic Acid which is an amino acid that through a variety of studies has been shown to increase testosterone level by up to 42% in some cases.

Tribulus Terrestris is a product that is also referred to as the Devils Claw is shown to increase testosterone. However, in my experiments with this product it didn’t make much of a difference at all. But on the positive side, I also didn’t experience any side effects using this product either. So whilst you might not experience any reall benefits from supplementing with this product, you won’t experience any side effects using it either.

Zinc – Is an important element to have in you daily diet whether you’re a bodybuilder or not as it can help to increase your testosterone levels. However, the amount of Zinc that is outlined in TestoGen appears to be in excess. Whilst Zinc is an important element, too much Zinc can be problematic. The upper limit of Zinc tolarance is 40 mg per day, although Zinc can be tolerated at 100mg per day, this upper limit should be confined to a short period of time (2-4 months).

There are several types of Zinc readily available in the marketplace and each gives you a different dosage of elemental zinc. For example, 72mg of Zinc gluconate is equivalent to 9.3mg of elemental zinc. 72mg of Zinc citrate is equivalent to 24.6mg of elemental zinc. 72mg of Zinc sulfate is equivalent to 16.3mg of elemental zinc and 72mg of Zinc sulfate is equivalent to 15.2mg of elemental zinc.

Vitamin D which if you get a lot of natural sunlight isn’t a problem, but if you don’t then could be beneficial in helping to retain your testosterone and also help in the absorption of the ingredients.

Bioperine (which is a fancy name for “Black Pepper”) is included in the new TestoGen formula and mainly included to help absorption.

Does TestoGen Work?

There are several ingredients that together (supposedly) helps you to increase your testosterone levels naturally.  D-Aspartic Acid which seems to be the most active ingredients has been suggested to increase one’s testosterone levels if taken in adequate dosages, however this is not what research seems to suggest, in fact the oppose is true.

Who is TestoGen Maded For?

Testosterone declines as we age, so a product like this would be great for older men as it can increase testosterone and bring their testosterone level back to normal. This product could also be advantageous for bodybuilders to help them make more gains as a result of increased testosterone levels.

Is TestoGen safe – are there any side effects?

TestoGen is marketed as a safe and natural testosterone booster. The ingredients listed on the bottle appear to be in lower dosages, except Zinc. Too much Zinc can be problematic and lead to nausea, diarrhea, metallic taste, kidney and stomach damage and other side effects.

The fact that TestoGen has 72mg of Zinc per serve is a little worrying as the upper limited of Zinc for a normal human being is 11mg for an adult male and 8mg for an female. Having said that, it is unknown as to what kind of Zinc they are using in their blend as 105mg of Zinc gluconate 105 mg is equivalent to 15 mg of Zinc.

Accord to WebMD there doesn’t appear to be any known side effect with D-Aspartic Acid, given that is the main marketed ingredient in TestoGen.

According to studies that lasted over 90 days, the side effect for Tribulus seems to be mild and mostly uncommon, however some side effects include, stomach pain, cramping, diarrhea, nausea, committing, constipation, excitation, difficulty sleeping. In rare cases, reports of kidney damage have been linked to taking tribulus. The long-term safety of tribulus is unknown.

Dosage / Directions

There are 30 servings, which is 120 capsules per container. Each serving size is 4 capsules per day, to be taken with food. These capsules can be all taken in one sitting, however the body will tolerate the supplement easier if taken over the period of the entire day.

Do I need to cycle TestoGen?

According to their website, TestoGen can be taken continuously however given the increased levels in Zinc which is still unknown, you probably should cycle it to be safe. Will there by a drop in gains as a result? Studies have shown a raise level of testosterone tends to stay around for a little while, but will drop back to original levels overtime.

Pricing & Discount code

You can purchase TestoGen from their website and often you will get a 15-20% flash sale discount.

You can purchase 1 months supply for $59.99 USD or buy 2 and get one free for $119 saving $90 or buy 3 containers and get 2 containers free. a savings of $170.00

Where to buy TestoGen

TestoGen can be purchased at a discounted price from the Testogen website.

Money back guarantee

There is a 60 day money back guarantee policy posted on their website. If you return the original container within a 67 day period from when you ordered the product you will get a 100% refund of the product price according to their website, not including shipping charges.

Shipping Cost

From what I can see on their website when going to purchase the product shipping is free.

What I Liked about TestoGen

  • The supplementation of D-aspartic acid is still relatively new with unknown long term side effects, but there are numerous favorable reports that suggest D-aspartic acid not only increases your testosterone, but have no short term side effect.
  • Whilst most energy boosters and testosterone booster can elevate blood pressure, TestoGen appears to lower blood pressure in people who have naturally higher blood pressure.
  • The price of TestoGen appears to be cheaper than other brands.

What I didn’t like

  • It can cause acne.
  • Zinc too high for long term use.
  • Vitamin too low

Summary

The new formula of TestoGen and addition of ingredients like, Magnesium, Boron, Vitamin K1, Nettle Leaf Extract and Bioperine, seems to have balanced out a lot of TestoGen’s previous failing’s. And apart from the high amounts of Zinc that can be easily remedied by cycling the product, I give TestoGen as a natural testosterone booster a thumbs up.

TestoTek Review – Natural Booster

by John Leave a Comment

What Is TestoTek?

TestoTek is a blend of natural ingredients combined to help elevate the testosterone levels in healthy male Adults. Low testosterone can affect men as early as in their early to mid thirtys and then progressively declines as one gets older.

Whilst the result of low testosterone affects men differently, it can have a negative effect and some symptoms experienced can be a lack of focus, reduction of muscle mass, low libido and not sleeping well.

Who Manufactures TestoTek?

TestoTek is manufactured by a nutritional supplement company called TEK Naturals who have been on operation for over 20 years. Their primary focus is on creating high-quality supplement products for people who are looking to achieve their fitness goals.

They not only create TestoTek, but they have other products that include Whey protein and fat burners.

How does TestoTek work?

One of the main ingredients in TestosTek is D-Aspartic Acid which is becoming an industry standard when it comes to natural testosterone supplements. Most of the top brands of natural testosterone boosters all include this ingredient in varying levels as studies have shown a significant increase in testosterone level after taking this product.

Having said that, one of the negative side effects of elevated testosterone levels is that it’s counterpart, estrogen, also tends to rise in conjunction with testosterone, which can destroy free testosterone in the body.

So TestoTek  also includes a number of other ingredients like Mucuna Pruriens that helps to reduce estrogen levels allowing your body to have the increase in testosterone levels.

Who is TestoTek made for?

Men tend to experience a decrease in testosterone levels as they age. This can start from as early as 30 years of age and decline steadily as one gets older. Some of the most common symptoms experienced with low T levels are the following

  1. Low sex drive
  2. Difficulty with erection
  3. Low semen volume
  4. Hair loss
  5. Fatigue
  6. Loss of muscle mass
  7. Increased body fat
  8. Decreased bone mass
  9. Mood changes

Ingredients in TestoTek

D-Aspartic Acid (2000mg) – here has been a number of tests conducted with DAA that shows it can elevate testosterone levels up to 42%. As I have stated in this review and others, DAA is one of the most used and most popular ingredients in Testosterone boosters because it has no only worked in controlled studies, but customers have experienced a number of benefits as a result.

So it is definitely a product that needs to be considered whenever you’re evaluating any testosterone booster.

Vitamin D3 (2000IU) – this is a vitamin that is synonymous with increased testosterone levels. Whilst you can get vitamin D3 from spending time out in the sun, which is free BTW, a lot of use don’t tend to get a lot of it naturally.

It’s a catch 22 situation really, too much sun can have just as many negative side effects as not getting enough. And depending on whether you live in a sunny climate, it can be challenging getting enough vitamin D3 in the winter months.

So it is essential to get adequate vitamin D3 to have optimal testosterone levels, whether you live in a sunny climate or not, which is why it is included in this supplement.

Zinc (25mg) – TestoTek recently updated the volume of ingredients and in some cases decreased the volume of ingredients. Zinc is one of those ingredients that was lowered from 75mg to 25mg.

The previous formula had a lot of people worried that they were consuming too much Zinc, and rightly so, because too much Zinc can be problematic, and have some nasty side effects. The upper levels of Zinc consumption per day is around 40mg, so 75mg in the previous formula was a bit too high.

Mucuna Pruriens (175mg) – The main role of Mucuna Pruriens is to limit the amount of estrogen in the body.  So when your testosterone levels increase, your estrogen levels can also increase, but Mucuna Pruriens limits the amount of estrogen that is produced. This allows more free testosterone to be available in the body.

Stinging Nettle Root (100mg) – Stinging Nettle is most commonly known for aiding in urination problems and an enlarged prostate. It is also said to be used to treat kidney and urinary tract disorders, water rention, stimulate hair growth and treat diarrhea.

However, it is gaining popularity as a testosterone raising herbal supplement that works by inhibiting SHBG (Sex Hormone GBinding Globulin), and therefore making more testosterone more bio-available in the body.

Fenugreek (75mg) – Fenugreek is known to reduce inflammation in the body, improve digestive problems and cholesterol levels, lowers inflammation from outside the body and increase libido and boosts testosterone levels in men.

Oyster Extract (75mg) – Oysters are the highest natural source of Zinc boasting a massive tens times higher amount than meat. The zinc in oyster capsules is balanced with other key co-factor elements such as copper, manganese and selenium in a way that makes them work better together. This balancing is done by nature, as nature intended.

Oyster extract can increase glutathione levels which in turn counteracts fatigue, increase immunity and improve sexual health.

 

Shipping

Shipping in the USA is 100% free, but if you live outside of the USA, then shipping charges will incur. If you live in Canada then you will be charged $12.99 and anywhere else in the world it is $25 for any size order.

Postal packages are usually priced by weight of the item(s), which means the lighter the package is, the less it would cost to ship, and vice versa, the heavier the package, the more it will cost. But for some reason Tek Naturals have put a “catch all” price which then makes it more expensive for international customers.

Related : TestoTek vs TestoFuel

Dosage

Take 4 Capsules per day taken with food for better absorption.

The Flex Belt Review : Is It A Scam Or Does It Really Work?

by John Leave a Comment

Does the Flex Belt Really Work Or Is It A Scam?

To answer this question you need to understand how EMS or ( electronic muscle stimulation ) works.

EMS works by sending electronic signals to your muscles which stimulates them to contract. This is a similar signal that your brain sends your muscles when you want to contract a certain muscle group.

For example : if I want to perform a sit-up then I would simply lay on the floor and crunch my abdominal muscles. This is what the flex belt does, it automatically contracts certain muscle groups without you even having to think about it. In a way it replaces the thought process, and the need to lay on the floor and perform sit-ups.

So if you think about it, you could actually be using the Flex Belt in virtually any situation you might be in. Thereby getting in a good ab workout without having to find a spot to lay on the floor.

Which means that you could be getting a good ab workout while watch television, or sitting in traffic or at the movies, the applications are endless.

EMS technology is a timeless piece of equipment, so whether you are reviewing the Flex Belt now in 2016 or in 2050, the Flex Belt will continue to produce the same results, so long as you have a body with muscles.

 So Does The Flex Belt Work? – lets look a little deeper …

fb-scam-pic

Can I Lose Weight With The Flex Belt?

E.M.S is specifically designed to firm, tighten and tone up muscles which means that you will see a difference in the way you look and feel, but not necessarily lose weight. This is largely because EMS is a passive exercise and therefore will not burn calories.

Having said that, you will notice a visible difference in your mid section, it will look more toned and you’ll actually feel stronger, and honestly, who cares what the scales say, so long as you look good and feel great.

When Will I See Results With The Flex Belt?

You may notice results following the first few sessions, however, results are more evident following 4 to 6 weeks depending on the individual and diet and exercise.

How Long Will The Results Last?

Like any form of exercise – if you don’t use it – you lose it. The human body is constantly adapting and modifying to suit it’s environment and whatever stress you put on it. So whether you’re lifting weights, running , swimming or cycling, the body will adapt to match the intensity.

If I Am Dieting Will The Flex Belt Help?

Absolutely, it is ideal for tightening and firming up your mid section as you lose weight. And because the exercise is passive there are no further caloric requirements.

EMS Technology Has Been Around For Decades

Ten to fifteen years ago EMS was used for muscle re-habitation, helping athletes tone and strengthen damaged muscle tissue, however throughout the years this technology has been modified and improved and become very useful in other areas.

My first EMS product was a T.E.N.S machine which I used for body building, this product cost $300 back in the day and came with gel pads that I could stick on to various muscle groups. Although some things have change over the years, the principle technology remains the same.

With the Flex Belt you can literally go about your daily routines all the while burning calories, which is great news for those of us who commute long hours to work. Some people can spend up to 2 hours commuting to work and back. Imagine utilizing those two unproductive hours toning up your abs.

The Flex Belt can be working for you while you past the time away reading a news paper, watching tv, surfing the internet, even while you’re preparing a meal. The convenience of such a product is priceless in my opinion.

The Best Casein Protein Powder Reviews in 2020

by John 4 Comments

There are a lot of different casein protein powders to choose from in the marketplace and as such it is important to understand what protein is going to be the best fit for what you are trying to achieve. Having the right kind of protein to supplement your diet can help you to not only lose weight, but also build muscle at the same time.

As you will already know, protein is one of the key ingredients to building and repairing muscle. Without the right protein, you can lift weights as much as you like and not build muscle.

Timing can also play an vital role in building muscle mass, but trying to get enough protein in during the day can be a little challenging at times, which is why a good protein supplement is needed.

Our Top 3 Casein Protein Powders at a glance

Our three recommendations are based on price, quality and overall customer feedback.

Casein Customer Ratings Feedback
1) Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 4.5stars2 Read 2,562 customer reviews

2) MusclePharm Combat

4.5stars2 Read 575 customer reviews
3) Dymatize Nutrition Elite 4.5stars2 Read 186 customer reviews

This article discusses some of the best casein protein powders on the market in 2018, so you can choose which is going to be the best fit for your workout and recovery.

These products were chosen based on the feedback from verified purchasers worldwide.

Protein can aid in fat loss and muscle gain depending on how you want to use it. Whether your goal is for weight gain or weight loss there is a solution that will fit your budget.

Most folks tend to use Casein protein powder at night before bed so that it continues to supply their muscles with a steady stream of amino acids while they’re a sleep.

This creates the best environment for building muscle, because your body is in repair mode while you’re a sleep. So Casein is able to supply your body with all the nutrients it needs to build lean muscle throughout the night.

So with that being said, let’s get started.

Our 5 Best Casein Protein Powders

#1 – Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Casein

optinum-nutrition-gold-standard

One of the biggest problems that most folks say about casein protein powder is that it can be difficult to drink especially if it has been sitting for a few minutes. Primarily because it starts to thicken up, and the longer you leave it, the more gluey or gluggy it gets.

Now, this isn’t a problem if you like a somewhat thick shake, but to some it can be a little difficult to drink.

So the cool thing about optimum nutrition Gold Standard Casein is that it thickens when it hits stomach acid, which means that it can help to make you feel fuller, for a longer period of time.

Most whey protein shakes tend to be a little thin, which feels a lot like drinking milk. But if you like the feeling of being full then this casein protein might be what you’re looking for. It’s best to take it at night before going to bed, so that you’re not going to bed feeling hungry.

Apart from feeling hungry, it does serve a purpose in that it will slow release amino acids throughout the night for a longer period of time than your ordinary whey protein, which means that your muscles with get a steady flow of amino acids while you sleep.

#2 – MusclePharm Time Release Protein Blend

musclePharm

It is a blend of whey, isolate, casein, and egg albumen.
Which means that you can drink it at anytime during the day and also before bed.
Because it is a blend you’ll find that the consistency might be easier to mix, although a number of customers say that it is still best to use a blender or else you could end up with chunks.

If you’re looking for a slow release protein but don’t like having lots of different types of protein powders taking up your shelf space then this could be a good solution as it gives you the best of both worlds, the benefit of Whey as well as the slow release of casein.

There have been a number of mixed reviews, where customers have said that the products taste too sweet. It’s great if you have a sweet tooth, but not so if you don’t.

#3 – Dymatize Nutrition Elite Casein

dymatize-nutrition-elite-caseinThe taste and consistency of Dymatize Nutrition Elite casein appears to be quite good across the board.

Like most of the other casein protein products there are some good and bad reviews on the taste an consistency however, the majority of the reviewers tend to be positive.

One thing that seems to be consistent with a lot of the reviews is that it’s always a good idea to experiment with different forms of liquids and blending methods.

Some folks say that milk makes the protein taste a lot better while others blend it with ice and some even add a table spoon of peanut butter.

#4 – Universal Nutrition Casein Pro

universal-nutrition-casein-proThe casein protein by Universal Nutrition is one of the best tasting casein protein we have seen. The taste of the product is second to none and if you like chocolate and peanut butter then you’re in for a treat.

This protein blends well with a variety of different liquids, such as milk, almond milk, low fat milk and even water.

If you’re not used to the consistency or taste of casein protein then this might be a good place for you to start, because it has been one of the better brands of casein proteins we have reviewed and what we have observed from other people who have purchased the product.

#5 – MuscleTech Platinum Casein

muscletech-platinum-caseinIf you’re not used to the taste and the consistency of casein protein then the MuscleTech Platinum casein protein powder may not be a good fit for you.

Whilst it may contain a higher percentage of protein per scoop than some of it’s competitors it may also be a lot harder to drink.

Some reviewer say that if you leave it to sit for a while after you have mixed it up with your favorite liquid (like milk, almond milk or water etc) it can really thicken up making it difficult to drink if left too long.

Of course, you want it to thicken up so as to help you feel fuller longer, but not so much that it’s hard to drink.

If this has been a problem for you in the past then you should consider using Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Casein as it has the consistency of whey protein and only starts to thicken up in the presents of stomach acid.

What is Casein Protein?

Milk and dairy products have two main types of proteins in them: whey and casein. “Curds and whey” is a very commonly used phrase that you may possibly have heard, and it refers to these two protein types.

Casein is the protein that forms as “curds” or globules, and is used slightly for various purposes. On the other hand, whey protein refers to the liquid fraction that is dried into the common whey protein powders that most people are familiar with.

Casein is usually overshadowed by its more popular brother, and can at times go unnoticed by individuals who could be benefit from it greatly. There are numerous reasons as to why people need to take casein and numerous reasons why people should take whey protein, and numerous reasons why people ought to take them both!

While whey protein has its place and benefits, there are a host of benefits of using casein protein powder too and we will go over some in the next part before moving further in this casein protein powder review.

Benefits of Casein Protein

One of the main functions of casein, as with any protein, is to aid the body in the buildup and repair of muscles. It also plays a very significant role in fat loss. But, there is a small difference in how it gets this important job done compared to the soy, whey, or any other meat or plant based protein.

The major benefit of casein is that it is digested far slower compared to whey protein. This therefore makes it an ideal alternative when you are looking for something that will keep you feeling full for longer, or want a protein source, which will provide a sustained release of essential amino acids into your bloodstream when you are sleeping.

Not only does this prevent your body from shutting down the vital muscle building process but it keeps your body nourished, and replenishes and repairs the muscles. Always have this in mind when choosing the appropriate time to take your casein protein.

Casein Protein vs. Typical Protein

Is casein better than typical protein? Yes! Casein takes long for it to be digested, meaning that one feel fuller for a longer time compared to when they have taken typical protein. Casein is also very rich in dairy calcium and this isn’t the case with typical protein. Calcium is essential in the growth and development of bones and teeth.

However, typical protein tends to be the better choice when you one is trying to get amino acids into their bloodstream quickly. Aside from that, typical protein is also ideal for people with gas problems as opposed to casein which has a high lactose percentage. Lactose is known to cause bloating and other gas problems as well.

When to Take Casein Protein

As previously stated, casein digests slowly so you need to take that into consideration when deciding when to take it. As with most other supplements, it doesn’t really matter a lot when you take casein, since your body will have to absorb it anyway. However, since casein protein is very slow digested, there are several recommended times during when you can get the most out of it.

  • A few hours before going to work out: It will provide you with nourishment and energy, and can also keep you from feeling worn-out at the gym.
  • Immediately you wake up, and this should be right before taking breakfast.
  • Immediately after you have worked out
  • Right before heading to bed: In fact, this is a very appropriate time because your body will be without food for close to 8 hours, and hence some slow digesting protein will do great.

Sources of Casein Protein

Casein is found in milk, (milk is composed up of 20% whey protein and 80% casein protein) thus it is found in any products stemming from that. Here is a quick list of some of the foods that are known to harbor high casein protein content.

  • Milk (80% casein)
  • Cottage cheese
  • Hard cheese (any type)
  • Regular yogurt
  • Sour cream
  • Greek yogurt
  • Pudding

Why You Should Consider Buying Casein Protein

This is a question that gets brought up many times. Do you require an actual casein powder? Can’t you just get it from the natural sources?

The answer is no and yes. It is not all people who need casein protein but there those who should definitely consider it, and who may gain more benefits once they start adding it to their daily diet.

If you are an athlete you can greatly benefit from casein, and this ranges from football players, to powerlifters to bodybuilders. If you are engaged in extreme daily physical activities, then chances are that you will definitely benefit a lot from casein protein powder.

Individuals who don’t consume enough dairy products can as well benefit from casein supplementation as they are not deriving it from natural resources.

Finally, anyone struggling with protein proficiency ought to consider buying casein protein. In fact, if your doctor recommends a protein supplement, then you casein protein can’t go wrong with you.

However, if you don’t have any goals in mind, working hard, or training for something then you most probably don’t need it.

Choosing the Right Casein Protein Supplement

There are several things to consider when choosing casein protein supplements. If you have never bought a protein supplement before, here is what you need to put into consideration:

  • The manufacturers overall production
  • Brand reputation
  • Flavor and available tastes
  • Customer feedback and various user reviews
  • Level of trust that customers portray to the supplement
  • Convenience in product distribution
  • Pricing

There is quite a lot of variation in terms of value for money and purity of the casein protein supplements, available in the market today. However, if you put the above considerations into good use, you can be sure that the supplement you buy will deliver a healthy dose of case protein.

Have in mind that going for the best supplements doesn’t necessarily mean that you will have to pay more on the basis of dollar-per-pound. The key lies in paying more attention to the additional ingredients that might help things like performance in the gym and digestion, as well as the amount of casein protein in each serving.

Best Tasting Casein Protein Powder

One of the biggest issues with Casein protein powder is getting a powder that tastes good. Most Casein protein powders don’t mix too readily with water and as such can feel a little gluggy to drink. A part from that Casein powder comes in most standard flavors, like Vanilla and Chocolate.

Obviously, there is going to be some debate about which flavor is the best and I think that this is really just personal preference.

Best Casein Protein for Females

There’s really no such thing as Casein protein that has been specifically designed for females. But I guess if there was a specific type of Casein protein powder then it would be one that is on the lower side of the caloric chart. Consuming adequate protein is the foundation of keeping lean muscle mass, but so is reducing your overall daily calorie intake.

Best Casein Protein Powder for Weight Loss

As mentioned previously, there’s no specific Casein protein powder that has been designed for weight loss, however there are certain blends of protein powders that may aid in weight loss. Consuming a powder that is low in carbohydrates would help to keep the calories down as well as keep your insulin level low.

Best Whey Casein Protein Mix

There are various blend of both Casein and Whey protein powders out there, and a lot of bodybuilders take a diy approach and blend their own protein shakes. This allows them to get the best of both worlds. They get a fast absorbing protein (Whey) that feeds the muscles immediately and they also get a slow releasing protein that will help to feed the muscles over a longer period of time before you’re next meal.
