casein protein with creatine

[attilbig]

Can casein protein and creatine be combined in 1 protein shake? I'm mixing it with some creatine too btw.

There is no harm in combining creatine in genetal with any kind of protein.
However the best time to take creatine is pre & post workout.
Casein protein is a very slow digesting protein so its ideal to take casein protein before sleep & if so I would not suggest taking creatine with it before sleep as it can cause digestive stress.

yes but keep two things in mind

protein powder: not all are created equal. you should get a high quality whey isolate, free of lactose and free of fillers and sweeteners. n2bm sells one
creatine: powdered creatine has fillers, sweeteners, and dyes. you should invest in a quality brand. n2bm sells ancient strength which has 3 ingredients: creatine, creatine, and creatine

There is absolutely no problem in mixing protein with creatine, since they do not interact, so the effects will be just the same - you will just drink less liquid. In fact, this is what I do all the time, and it works fine for me.

Absolutely. You can take creatine with food or on an empty stomach. When are you taking the casein shake?

Casein protein coagulates and creates a gel in the stomach. It is very slow digesting which makes it optimal to supplement with before bed.

Whey protein is very fast digesting which makes it optimal for supplementing with before and after workouts.

I find it actually much easier to combine them so not only is it ok but I would recommend it.

It can. Usually I wouldnt do it because it then does not serve the purpose of working the way it is supposed to
