So this all started when Velkrum mentioned the difference between Whey Isolate and Casein in another thread
I've done some research but most of the info is from meat head pro lifters who basically say "Just keep both in the house" but I dont have a spare $100 to drop just to keep me well stocked in protein powder.
The thought being that Whey is quick absorbing, better for post/pre workout consumption. Casein is more complete, but slow absorbing so more of a meal replacement rather then a supplement. I haven't found much to corroborate Velkrums claim, but I trust the info on this board, so I'm not going to dismiss it simply because google cant disprove it.
I'm curious what others have to say about this.
Whey Isolate is what seems to be everywhere, its in most commercially available stuff, and browsing through GNC they had wall after wall of Whey Isolate but just a small section of Casein, and it was much higher in price (about 30%)

whey ISOLATE is the worst kind of protein available. You don't fully metabolize it and it has a very specific purpose..(usually post work out nutrition). Taking an isolate is basically throwing money away.
Everyone should be using CASEIN protein.
