There are certainly enough protein supplements on the market. So much so that the question that begs to be asked is, do we really need another one? Well, I think we do, for a couple of reasons. First, variety. While I'm sure someone will insist they have used the same protein supplement for the last 20 years, most of us switch around. I think one of the primary reasons for this among the top row of proven protein supplements is taste. 
Flavor systems vary to an incredible degree. Chocolate, for example, would seem like a pretty standard flavor, but, in reality, I've never tasted two brands of chocolate protein powder that tasted the same. I have, however, discovered some versions of chocolate that were absolutely delicious as well as some that were positively repellent. Oddly, I've also found that sometimes the chocolate I think is great, others think taste like crap; and vise versa. The bottom line is that you're not going to use any protein for very long if you hate the way it tastes. You're also not going to be inclined to use the same brand of protein, no matter how good it tastes, forever. You'll simply get tired of it. That being the case, it's nice to have a stable of brands that you know, trust, and like so that you can switch from brand to brand as needed. On that basis alone, Nitrean joins my small select group of desirables because I think it tastes awesome.
The next factor that I think plays a role in your protein buying decision is how well it mixes. This may seem trivial, but if you're a person on the go who is swigging down protein out of shaker bottles, plastic cups, or just a regular glass of water, the ability of the protein to dissolve and disburse evenly is crucial. There is nothing worse than slugging down a glob of unmixed protein. So, how well the product mixes equates to its greater portability. If you're not going to be consuming your protein near a blender, solubility is also a factor that piggybacks taste. This is another reason why I like Nitrean; it mixes easily with nothing more than a spoon.
Now that we've gotten the trivial, yet valid, reasons to use a protein product out of the way, lets get into the science of it. A study was carried out in which three groups of weight-trained males took part in a 10 week resistance training regimen to test the efficacy of various protein blends. One group consumed pure whey protein isolate immediately after weight training, one group consumed a combination of whey and casein after training, while a control group only consumed food. At the end of 10 weeks of heavy resistance training, the group fed the blend of whey and casein protein realized the greatest increases in fat-free mass. Why?
The idea of the post-workout nutritional window is valid but somewhat misunderstood when it comes to protein supplementation. The common thinking is that whey is best for post-workout situations due to its quick absorption rate and its concurrent spiking of protein synthesis. In reality, increased protein synthesis occurs as a direct result of the training stimulus for up to 48 hours after an intense session. This is why the claimed strength of whey can actually leave you starving for amino acids after the post training window closes. While whey's rapid absorption gets amino acids into your bloodstream quickly after a work out, that spike in amino acids dissipates just as quickly leaving you at a deficit for the remainder of those 48 hours. What your body needs after training, and for the rest of the day, is a prolonged and sustained flow of amino acids into the bloodstream. This has proven to be best accomplished by ingesting a blend of different protein types, namely whey and casein; exactly what Nitrean provides.
Bottom line, Nitrean provides one of the best net retentions of ingested protein (your body retains more of it) of any product on the market today. Couple that with great taste, and the ease at which it mixes, and Nitrean is definitely some of the stuff I like. Try it and I'll bet you will too.
