Dymatize Elite Casein has become a very popular protein because of its slower digestion. Casein proteins in general have increased in popularity within the past couple years. Many users like to use Casein protein at night to allow for a slow release of amino acids into the bloodstream while they sleep, hopefully preventing catabolism.
Dymatize Elite Casein contains 24 grams of protein per scoop. It is a thicker consistency that most protein powders. This is what contributes to the slower digestion. The Casein protein stays in the stomach longer, allowing for a much slower absorption rate. The rate of digestion for a single scoop of Casein protein could take hours to fully digest making it ideal to take before bedtime.

Taking Elite Casein
Mix 1 scoop with 10-12 ounces of liquid. You need more liquid with Casein protein because of the viscosity of the protein. It can be used at anytime throughout the day, especially at bedtime. This is a good protein to use if you will going several hours per day without taking in any calories.

Beef Protein hasn’t become as popular as some companies have hoped. MuscleMeds has tried with Carnivor, which is very similar to Dymatize’s Elite Primal. It makes sense that supplement companies would try and tackle beef protein since beef has been staple food for bodybuilders for decades. Dymatize has tried to give users the benefits of beef in a convenient powder without the fat or cholesterol.
Also included are extra amounts of high quality BCAAs. Dymatize says that one serving of Elite Primal contains the same amount of amino acids as 100 grams of steak. Like Carnivor, Elite Primal contains 3 grams of creatine per serving. We all know how important and effective creatine is. It is a staple in every bodybuilder’s supplement regimen. The creatine in one serving of Elite Primal is equivalent to the creatine in one pound of steak.

The issue for most people has been the taste and mixability of beef protein. According to our feedback, Elite Primal is no different. Eventually science will catch up and improve the quality of beef protein, that is, if the demand is there. Otherwise, it may be awhile before beef protein will become a staple along with whey or casein protein in bodybuilder’s supplement regimen.
