Taking it right before bed can make it most useful as your body will use it to its fullest advantage while you sleep. A study from the Netherlands concluded that participants had a higher metabolic rate while sleeping when taking casein.

A Texas study showed that pairing casein with whey caused participants to outperform their counterparts. Researchers from a Massachusetts study surmised that casein doubled the effect of whey protein on strength results.
