Gold Standard™ 100% Casein Tastes Like Cookies and Cream

Aurora, IL, April 09, 2008 --(PR.com)-- There’s a time and a place for everything. Right before and after working out, athletes want a fast-absorbing protein like whey to go right to work delivering muscle-building essential amino acids. But between meals and especially right before going to bed, a slower digesting protein offers several distinct advantages. Now all the benefits of casein can be enjoyed in a newly formulated cookies and cream flavor that turns every scoop of Gold Standard™ 100% Casein into a great tasting and nutritious treat.

“A regular schedule of intense training demands the right type of protein at the right time of day or night,” said Rachel Hopkins, a food scientist with Optimum Nutrition (ON) in Aurora. “Each serving of ON’s Gold Standard™ 100% Casein provides anabolic as well as anti-catabolic support with 24 grams of a premium micellar casein and calcium caseinate blend that supplies a sustained-released stream of branched chain amino acids, glutamine and glutamine precursors between meals or while sleeping.” This superior blend also provides 500 milligrams of calcium per scoop along with Aminogen® digestive enzymes to enhance utilization.

Founded in 1987, Optimum Nutrition is a leading manufacturer of premium nutritional supplements. Recognized for quality and innovation, the company maintains two distinct brands – Optimum Nutrition and American Body Building – each offering a comprehensive line of powder, energy bar, liquid, tablet and capsule sports supplements. ON owns and operates several state-of-the-art cGMP-approved manufacturing facilities to assure the highest product standards.
