It is obvious that whey protein is the best bio protein in the world and very beneficial for bodybuilders. It works very fast and supplies the huge amounts of amino acids to the body which is important for bodybuilders. Casein acts very slowly but it contains other essential amino acids.

Also due to the amino acids in casein the muscle tissues will be able to preserve more whey.
