Slowing down isolate absorbtion

Hey guys, due to recently becoming lactose intolerant I have made the decision to switch to isolate as my go to protein.
Since I can't drink casein anymore I was wondering if there was some kind of powder I could add with my isolate to slow down the absorbtion and cover me for at least 6 hours at bedtime
 
If you don;t want an isolate maybe look into something like San Raw Fusion. IT has a decent profile
 
I often add cinnamon (lowers potential insuline spike caused by the super fast isolate) and either nuts, nut butters or oils (olive, coconut, macadamia etc). Any fats will slow down the digestion/assimilation.

I often add lactose free greek yogurt or lactose free cottage cheese, as I can't take casein powders, but those products contain big amounts of casein while being lactose free. Hope it helps!

If they did I'd buy it NOW.

PS: lactase pills don't work on me

They didn’t work because you didn’t take enough!
Try more than one. A few. If you have to pop toke 4 tablets in a blender with the casein.

The reason they don’t work for you is due to “timing issues”. Meaning the pills have to be broken down and the enzyme released at just the right time to deal with the lactose you drink. It’s very hard to take them at the same time without either taking them a few mins before or blending them together. But see below for easier options.
 
My best next suggestion would be to purchase lactaid milk and mix that with the whey. It’s guaranteed lactose free milk. Tastes a little off but still good. I was drinking it for a while

The company literally dumps in the lactase enzyme and makes sure that all (or over 99.9% has been enzymatically cleaved) leaving you with glucose and galactose. So you will have no lactose to bother you in that milk. Mixed with whey. Bam. Perfect simple convenient midnight solution.
 
I have never been lactose intolerant in my life. With the exception of around GI viral infections. They can sometimes knock off or damage the lactase enzyme in the brush border. During those times I have relied on lactase milk since I am a milk addict
 
you can buy digestive enzymes to deal with lactose intolerance or you could mix your powder with lactose free milk
 
If you consume a fat source with the isolate you should be fine. Isolates digest quickly by themselves, but if you add in so coconut oil, peanut butter, or nuts with your bedtime shake that will help to slow the digestion
 
Add some fats to the shake, my favorite is coconut oil but olive oil would work

however the beauty of isolate is because it's so fast, why want to slow it down?

this. adding fats is the easiest and most effective way.


2 tbsp PB with any shake ftw.
 
Though overvblown you can test how fast the aminos enter bloodstream by measuring blood sugar. Peak is at least an hour out, closer to 2 according to Tim Ferris

Yeah. What matters most (unless you are competing physique or BBing I suppose) is the general average over a period of days to weeks not a few hours here and there. Hit the MACROS. Besides that it’s just too stressful trying to time it all perfectly (for me anyway).

Micellar casein should have about the same amount of lactose as Whey Isolate.

Adding fat won't help....

Pea protein should work well.

Isolate has way less lactose than casein

It appears so

Oddly, casein has higher lactose content than milk protein concentrate, ~3% vs ~2% respectively, so somehow removing the whey from the MPC leaves the casein and most/all the lactose. Milk protein isolate has 1.5%. There are solo such products from California Gold Nutrition that list their lactose content on the labels and the lowest is their whey isolate with 1%. The casein isolate in Kasein claims less than a gram of lactose per serving which is still much more than 1%.
