Brand Story By Optimum Nutrition Review: Essential part of recovery - For too long I had relied solely on whey protein to help build muscle, especially after intense work outs. It definitely helped, but often times I would wake up the morning after not feeling that much better. In other words, I wasn't really recovering that well. I considered just doubling up on the whey, basically eating another serving before bed, but then I did some research. I figured it would benefit me to alternate the types of protein supplement, and when I added the Optimum Nutrition Casein protein, it was a game changer. I now wake up in the morning feeling back to 100%. Even though I never train the same muscle groups two days in a row, I feel as if I could. I am making a 100% recovery in less than half the time. As a side benefit, the stuff tastes amazing. I mix mine with soy milk (yeah, I drink soy, get over it) and shot of light cream, after reading that a modest amount of fats help the body absorb large amounts of protein. Anyways, the vanilla is a very deep and satisfying flavor. To change it up I sometimes add some cinnamon powder, or some nutmeg and ground clove. On top of that, I eat it just before bed, and I am never super hungry in the morning, and I have eliminated my midnight snack routine. I use a hand crank egg beater to mix this stuff up, because even a little bit quickly turns into a thick mixture, sort of like wet concrete. It needs way more liquid to dissolve into than whey protein powder. Sometimes I also throw in some Greek style yogurt, but this stuff is thick enough already. The labeling says something about how Casein behaves differently when it hits the acid in the stomach, and that it expands, and you see this when you mix it up. If you have been missing something in the protein department, I would absolutely try this Casein. PROS: + Tastes awesome. + Fills you up, you feel satisfied, and won't be hungry for quite a while after. + A little powder goes a long way. + Slow absorption. CONS: - More expensive than most whey protein powders, but that's common to Casein. Review: Functionality and flavor are both good - I have specific health needs that require a high-protein, low-calorie diet, and this protein powder works perfectly as a breakfast meal replacement. I typically mix one scoop with 12 oz of 2% Fairlife milk and 8 oz of cold brew, which totals around 40 grams of protein. On its own, it provides 22 grams of protein per serving, making it easy to use multiple times a day to meet macro goals, even with just water. The flavor isn’t too sweet, and it adds a nice richness without a chalky texture. It also keeps me full from breakfast until my 1:00 PM lunch, even when I start my workday at 8:30 AM. For best results, I recommend using a good mixer bottle. My favorite is the Helimix 22 oz. That said, the powder dissolves well and doesn’t clump, making it easy to mix. Overall, this is a great choice for anyone looking to add quality protein to their diet without unnecessary calories or unpleasant textures. ## Features - nan - Made in USA - One 3.86 lb container (53 servings) of Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Micellar Casein Protein Powder in Creamy Vanilla - With micellar casein, this Optimum Nutrition protein powder helps support muscle recovery - Each serving has 9 grams of naturally occurring Essential Amino Acids - Feel good about your after-workout recovery drink - Mixes easily with a shaker cup, perfect for packing in your gym bag as part of your training routine ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B002DYJ0N4 | | ASIN | B002DYJ0N4 | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Allergen Information | Gluten Free | | Best Sellers Rank | #7,795 in Health & Household ( See Top 100 in Health & Household ) #57 in Sports Nutrition Protein Powder Blends #898 in Sales & Deals | | Brand Name | Optimum Nutrition | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (5,635) | | Date First Available | November 18, 2007 | | Department | GNC|ALL|ALL|PWD DIET W MILK NUT FACT | | Diet Type | Keto | | Flavor | Creamy Vanilla | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00748927024180 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | Yes | | Item Dimensions | 8.06 x 8.06 x 11.17 inches | | Item Weight | 1.75 Kilograms | | Item model number | 1102171 | | Manufacturer | Glanbia Performance Nutrition | | Manufacturer | Glanbia Performance Nutrition | | Manufacturer Part Number | 1102171 | | Material Type Free | No Artificial Colors, No Artificial Flavors, No Artificial Sweeteners | | Model Name | Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Micellar Casein Protein Powder, Slow Digesting, Helps Keep You Full | | Model Number | 1102171 | | Net Content Volume | 11.14 Liters | | Number of Items | 1 | | Package Type Name | Tub | | Product Benefits | Muscle Growth, Weight Gain | | Product Dimensions | 8.06 x 8.06 x 11.17 inches; 3.86 Pounds | | Protein | 24 Grams | | Protein Source | Casein | | Recommended Uses For Product | Post-Workout | | Total Servings Per Container | 53.0 | | UPC | 748927024180 | | Unit Count | 64.0 Ounce | | Vitamins And Minerals | 0, 0, 0, 15, 240, 50 Percent Daily Value, 230 Milligrams | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Optimum Nutrition - **Flavor:** Creamy Vanilla - **Item Weight:** 1.75 Kilograms - **Material Type Free:** No Artificial Colors, No Artificial Flavors, No Artificial Sweeteners - **Servings per Container:** 53.0 ## Images ![Gold Standard 100% Micellar Casein Protein Powder, Slow Digesting, Helps Keep You Full, Overnight Muscle Recovery, Creamy Vanilla, 4 Pound (Packaging May Vary) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71-6U31gAfL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Flavor** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: why this product wont dissolve in milk? i shake it over 30 second and i can still taste the powder so thick** A: There’s your problem, shake for 45 seconds. You’re leaving all those reps on the table. Remember, explosive out but a controlled return. 12 shake reps should take you 45 seconds if you’re doing it right. And breath. Contract. Feel the muscles. Quit leaving those reps on the table. **Q: does this have gluten in it** A: Although it maybe doesn't have gluten, people with gluten sensitivities or Celiac Disease should avoid the enzyme, Casein. I have Celiac Disease and this would "kill" me! **Q: My container did not have a scoop in it. How much powder to I use for a shake?** A: It's approximately a 1/4 of a cup (not exactly), but I'd bet there's a scoop in the bottom of the container somewhere, they sometimes sink to the bottom of the container... It's placed in these containers by a computer system, not a person so chances of a mistake are minimal. **Q: Does anyone know if this is 100% Micellar?** A: No, it has calcium caseinate as the second protein source. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Essential part of recovery *by B***N on October 31, 2018* For too long I had relied solely on whey protein to help build muscle, especially after intense work outs.

While I was a bit disappointed that the container wasn't completely filled, the powder itself exceeded my expectations in other areas. It tastes really good, especially when mixed with lactose free milk, soy or oat milk, it doesn't cause any stomach discomfort, which is a big plus for me. The sustained release of protein throughout the night has helped in my muscle recovery after workouts. Despite the initial concern about the quantity, the quality and effectiveness of the product make it a worthwhile purchase. If you're looking for a protein supplement that tastes great, is gentle on the stomach, and supports muscle recovery, give Optimum Nutrition's Gold Standard Casein Powder a try. ## Frequently Bought Together - Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Micellar Casein Protein Powder, Slow Digesting, Helps Keep You Full, Overnight Muscle Recovery, Creamy Vanilla, 4 Pound (Packaging May Vary) - Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey Protein Powder, Vanilla Ice Cream, 5 Pound (Packaging May Vary) - Optimum Nutrition Micronized Creatine Monohydrate Powder, Unflavored, 120 Servings, 600 Grams (Packaging May Vary) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/2376324-gold-standard-100-micellar-casein-protein-powder-slow-digesting-helps](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/2376324-gold-standard-100-micellar-casein-protein-powder-slow-digesting-helps) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-05-07*
