Whey Protein VS. Casein Protein?

[tjkita]

Doing some research and I see that a lot of people use whey protein after a workout and casein before bed. Casein is slower to digest and that's why some take it at night. Now my question is do you need both, which is better, and where can I get a good deal on it? bodybuilding.com, caseinprotein.com, etc. Thanks

Fast digesting protein, like hydrolized, post workojt, and casein with skim milk before bed, I like amazon for my proteins and pre workouts

Yep, I do whey in the morning and post workout and casein at night with some fat (usually almond butter/ flax oil)

Use a mix of both, as per this article: The best muscle building protein drink available | Primordial Performance Blog

I drink a Whey Isolate shake upon waking mixed with steel rolled oats,the old timey kind,and casien at bedtime.....and sometimes during the day,if im not hungry for a meal,i mix my whey and casien together for a meal replacement...casien a safer protein,its not as bad on your kidneys as whey is

X2 for sure! I 100% agree with Blondie on this one! Perfect times to take them and with the fats.

Hmm never heard of MyofusionII. To my knowledge there is Myofusion and Myofusion Hydro. Myofusion contains whey concentrate, whey isolate, egg albumin, and milk protein isolate. Myofusion hydro contains everything Myofusion does, but also includes whey hydrolysate.

I'm currently using Myofusion Hydro (on bodybuilding.com this is the only Myofusion they offer, and they have it listed just as 'Myofusion') for my wake shake and pwo. Taking Opt Nutrition casein before bed.
