I was reading the info about each of the protein powders on trueprotein.com and I noticed that most of hydrolyzed casein passes the stomach and is absorbed by the small intestine. Is whey's absorption rate better? It seems like this would make the HC better for PWO.

"Hyrdrolyzed Casein
True Protein’s Hydrolyzed Casein is derived from fresh
skim milk. Hydrolyzed Casein is processed and extracted
from casein protein, which is then specially prepared into
an enzymatic hydrolysate. This process provides the user
with a rich source of short chain peptides and amino acids.
Though Casein and Caseinate proteins are known for there
slow digestion, Hydrolyzed Casein is still assimilated by
the body very quickly. Since it is a hydrostat the proteins
are partially digested, up to 80% of the proteins bypass the
stomach and are absorbed directly through the small intestine.
Studies have shown that Hydrolyzed Casein might be the best
protein for building muscle and preventing catabolism (muscle
breakdown). Studies have also shown that hydrolyzed proteins
with short chain amino acids (di and tri peptides) can increase
IGF-1.
Hydrolyzed Casein is a great product, but again like many of
our other hydrolyzed proteins, this product is extremely bitter.
When custom mixing your own blends, keep Hydrolyzed Casein
below 25% for a good tasting product. We recommend you order
your Hydrolyzed Casein separate to see how much the bitterness
effects you."
