High-quality whey protein powder is excellent choices for post- workout nutrition since they get into your system fast to feed those depleted muscles. Casein, on the other hand, is a slow releasing protein as it recurdles into a solid in your gut prolonging digestion – this would be an ideal
choice prior to your workouts or before going to bed.

Highly recommended: before taking any supplements go to your physician and do a complete checkup, especially regarding cardiovascular, renal and liver functions. Tell your physician about what supplements you are going to take and ask him for an advice.

Learn as much as you can about the supplements you want to take. Be sure they are the best for your purpose – lose weight, increase your muscle mass, etc. You can start by googleing the products your physician/advisor recommended. You can get a lot of information and, most important you can find offers which are much lower than your local store (sometimes half the price).

Take only well-known supplements. Stay away from those without a good brand name, expired ones, not FDA-approved, very new or unusual.
