Curated, not stocked.
Most protein strategies focus on the post-workout window and forget the next eight hours. Casein addresses that gap. We chose Transparent Labs for their straightforward labelling — no proprietary blends, no obscured ingredients. Grass-fed micellar casein is a well-studied slow-release protein source, and this is a clean, single-focus product that does one thing sensibly rather than promising everything.
About this product
Grass Fed Casein Protein - Chocolate
Transparent Labs Grass Fed Casein Protein in Chocolate is a slow-digesting protein food made from grass-fed micellar casein — the naturally occurring form of casein found in milk, known for its gradual amino acid release over several hours. Where whey is fast and suited to the post-workout window, casein is better matched to periods of extended fasting, particularly overnight. A scoop before bed provides a sustained supply of protein through the night, which is when muscle repair and adaptation tend to peak.
This suits anyone who trains seriously and wants to close a nutritional gap that a post-workout shake alone doesn't cover. It also works as a high-protein snack between meals when appetite is low but protein targets still need meeting. The chocolate flavour makes it a practical choice for mixing into Greek yoghurt or simply stirring into water or milk.
Transparent Labs is a brand that publishes full ingredient lists and avoids proprietary blends — what matters here is the single primary ingredient: grass-fed micellar casein. Grass-fed sourcing is associated with better fatty acid profiles in dairy, though the functional benefit in a protein product is primarily the quality of the protein itself. For those trying to maintain or build lean mass, consistently hitting protein targets across a full 24-hour period matters. This product is designed to fill the overnight gap that most protein strategies overlook.

Common questions
Frequently asked
Why take casein instead of whey before bed?
Whey digests quickly, producing a rapid rise in amino acids that tapers off within a couple of hours. Micellar casein digests slowly, releasing amino acids gradually over several hours — a better match for the overnight fast when no other food is consumed.
Can I use this at times other than before bed?
Yes. It works well as a high-protein snack between meals when you want sustained satiety without a large caloric addition. The slow-release profile means it is less ideal immediately post-workout, where faster protein sources tend to be preferred.
Is this suitable for people who are lactose intolerant?
Casein is a dairy-derived protein, so it is not suitable for those with a dairy allergy. Those with lactose intolerance vary in their tolerance of casein products — check the packaging for lactose content and consult your GP or dietitian if you are unsure.
How does grass-fed sourcing affect the product?
Grass-fed dairy is generally associated with a more favourable fatty acid profile compared to conventional dairy. In a protein product like this, the primary functional difference is the quality and source of the protein itself rather than a significant fat-content benefit.
How much protein does each serving contain?
The specific protein content per serving is listed on the product packaging. Check the nutrition label for accurate macros before incorporating it into your daily targets.
