Transparent Labs Grass Fed Casein Protein

You finish your last meal at 7pm, hit the pillow at 11pm, and don't eat again until 7am the next morning. That's 12 hours—half your day—when your body gets zero protein. While you're sleeping, your muscles are breaking down, cannibalizing themselves for amino acids they need for recovery. Most athletes never think about this overnight window. They should.

Transparent Labs Grass Fed Casein Protein delivers 25g of micellar casein that digests over 6-8 hours, providing sustained amino acid release throughout the night to support muscle protein synthesis when your body needs it most.

Uses Micellar Casein – Micellar casein is casein protein's natural form, maintaining its complete micelle structure. When it hits stomach acid, it forms a gel that slows digestion dramatically. Calcium caseinate—the cheaper alternative in most casein powders—has been processed with chemicals to increase absorption speed, destroying the slow-release benefit you're paying for.

Grass-Fed Source – The casein comes from grass-fed cows raised without growth hormones (rBGH/rBST). Grass-fed dairy contains higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids and CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) compared to grain-fed sources. Not just marketing—actual nutritional differences that matter when you're consuming this daily.

Zero Artificial Sweeteners or Sugar Alcohols – Sweetened only with stevia extract. No sucralose, no acesulfame potassium, no sugar alcohols that wreck your gut overnight. When you're taking protein before bed, the last thing you need is artificial sweeteners disrupting sleep quality or causing 3am bathroom trips from sugar alcohol intolerance.

Complete Amino Acid Profile – 25g of complete protein providing all essential amino acids, particularly rich in glutamine. Unlike whey which is leucine-dominant, casein provides higher levels of glutamine, proline, and other amino acids that support gut health and immune function during the overnight fasting period.

How to Use Transparent Labs Grass Fed Casein Protein

Mix 1 scoop with 8-12oz cold water or milk 30-60 minutes before sleep for overnight amino acid delivery. Also, can be used during the day when you'll go 4+ hours without eating to prevent muscle breakdown during fasting periods.
