It generally take 6 to 7 hours for a Casein Protein Shake to fully absorb and be all used up by the muscles, giving them a sparring supply of protein and amino acids for recovery and feel better the morning after.
Getting Extra Protein for Bodybuilding
When choosing how you are going to increase your intake of protein it is best to think outside of the box and not to think in terms of eating just a single source of protein. By getting different forms of protein throughout the day it is possible to ensure that you get all 27 amino acids (which aren’t even available from most protein shakes) and to spread your costs. Timing these correctly can also help you to make the most from each different protein source. As a suggestion then, try having eggs first thing in the morning (raw or otherwise), chicken or tuna at lunch, a whey protein after workouts and a casein protein before bed. This will give you the best combination of proteins throughout the day.
