A member asked:
Whey vs casein? which is best for a person who does mild excersize and weight training daily?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Both: Whey is a quick absorbing protein that will benefit you shortly after weight training. Casein is more slowly absorbing and can benefit you shortly after workouts, for a longer period of protein absorption, or at night for absorption throughout the nighttime.
