Recovery Tip of the Day: Casein Protein Before Bed |
Want to give your muscles a little extra TLC while you sleep? Try sipping on some casein protein before bed. Unlike whey, which digests faster than a Friday night pizza, casein is a slow-digesting protein that keeps feeding your muscles throughout the night. It’s like having a recovery team on call while you catch those Z’s. So, if you're looking to wake up stronger (and not just sore), a casein shake could be your new bedtime routine. Sweet dreams and sweeter gains! |
