Casein Protein

Last week I started Taking 2 scoops of casein protein before bed because of the "time released" effects. Occasionally, if i plan on sleeping for longer than usual, i will mix in some EFAs and some metamucil, in an attempt to further slower the release. I was wondering if anyone knew about how long it takes for a normal sized scoop of casein to be absorbed. thanks

blood concentration levels of amino acids will peak about the 2 hour mark but will stay elevated for a good 6 hours.

Yeah, most of the casein powders boast 7 hours as their time frame.

What happens if we take the casein during the day or in the morning?

You maximize the anabolic effect of the amino acids, since you have a constant supply for an avg of 7 hours.
