If I am taking a good whey with Glutamine and BCAAs post workout is it necessary to add Casein as well? And if so, should it be taken at at a different time of day? Any help is appreciated.

Whey isolate after training or when you wake up, casien before bed. Isolate is fast release which is needed after training, casein is slow so perfect before sleeping for hours.

I have 4 shakes a day, 2 isolate and 2 casein.

As Joe says, Whey is generally quicker digesting, and so is ideal for post-exercise. Casein is slower digesting, and is useful for other times of the day. It is quite common to take casein pre-bed in order to provide a source of protein over night, although this isnt necessarily essential.

Craig you mentioned in your thread that you were Casein intolerant…. How did you find this out?
