Hey everyone, I'm new around here and just learned about things such as casein and Nitrean. I had a few questions about using Nitrean.

I read an article on wannabebig called "Whey Vs. Casein" in which the author states that since casein gels in the stomach, taking it at the same time as whey will nullify the desireable quick absorbing properties of whey.

My question is if this is in regard to pure whey and casein in food, or in supplements too? For example, since Nitrean has both whey and casein in it, will the casein cause the whey not to be quickly absorbed?

If the case is that it will be ok and the whey will be absorbed quickly and then the casein will be absorbed slowly for the time being after that, could you please explain how and why you are able to do this, i.e., keep the casein from gelling and keeping the whey from being absorbed.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Next, when are the best times in the day to take it? I've been told before to take casein in the morning and at night, and whey right after a workout. If I switch to Nitrean, do I just use this after a workout, do I also take it in the mornings and before bed? Should I take it less, or more? Also, will I need a plain pure whey protein for right after workouts?

I'm on a low carb diet and a lot of the substitues I use (such as low carb breads, tortillas, flour, etc) are made with soy flour so really high in protein. For example, I get about 25 grams of protein for breakfast eating soy cereal and a cup of sugar free yogurt. And I usually have between 40 and 60 grams of protein for either lunch of dinner (sometimes more). I can easily get up to 100g of protein just from eating, without shakes.

I usually lift in the afternoons between lunch and dinner, although sometimes I lift a couple hours after dinner.

So given the times when I eat, and what I eat (about 40-60 grams of protein from meat, dairy and soy at every meal), when would be the best times to take Nitrean.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The last question is about what's in Nitrean besides the 3 forms of protein? In the ON Whey proteain I take now there are the following:

Calcium 150 mg
L-Leucine 2470 mg
L-Isoleucine 1520 mg
L-Valine 1440 mg
L-Lysine 2120 mg
L-Methionine 440 mg
L-Phenylalanine 670 mg
L-Threonine 1720 mg
L-Tryptophan 240 mg
L-Alanine 1380 mg
L-Arginine 480 mg
L-Aspartic Acid 2490 mg
L-Cystine 440 mg
L-Glycine 530 mg
L-Histidine 400 mg
L-Proline 1540 mg
L-Serine 1240 mg
L-Tyrosine 590 mg
Glutamine 3870 mg

I couldn't find information on if those things were in Nitrean, so if they are, can you tell me if they are and in what quanities?

Sorry for all the questions, I always ask a dozen questions before I buy any product, and I picked up so much info in the past few days that i'm not throughly confused

Thanks for any answers that any of you may have about this!
