Cottage Cheese A Nutritional Supplement?

One of the most under-utilized “nutritional supplement” (I put nutritional supplement in quotes because it’s not really a supplement) in bodybuilding today is by far cottage cheese.

Now you might be wondering what benefits cottage cheese might be able to pass on to a person looking to build muscle and here it is:

Cottage cheese is mostly comprised of casein protein which is ideal to consume right before you go to bed because it is a “slow-digesting” protein which will continue to feed your muscles through the night! Casein protein makes cottage cheese basically like a protein nutritional supplement that is slowly time released into your muscles throughout the night.

The nutritional supplement whey protein may be a better quality protein then casein but it is absorbed into your blood stream within an hour and then your muscles go starving!

Cottage cheese also contains about 6 grams of glutamine per 8 oz serving which may help increase your growth hormone levels making it a tremendous nutritional supplement.
