BulkSupplements.com Casein Protein Powder (1 kg) is the cheapest per 25g, at $1.27 before delivery ($41.97 a container).

4 of the 8 casein protein products we track have their exact package named in NSF's Certified for Sport database. That is a stricter test than “the brand is NSF certified”, and it is deliberately so: NSF lists package sizes against each certificate, and a size it does not name is not one it has stood behind. Each price is delivered where the retailer publishes a delivery rate and before delivery where it does not, and each row says which. 2 more casein protein packages, from Optimum Nutrition, are certified by Informed Choice, whose listings name no package size, so they are not in the tables below, which rank only packages NSF names. A pick can still be one of them, because the pick uses the category's own bar. Every brand, by program: Which casein protein brands are third-party tested?

Cheapest among the 4 casein protein packages we track that NSF names at the exact package, not the cheapest that exists. NSF certifies casein protein from more brands than we carry, and our catalog is extended brand by brand, so a certified product we have not added yet cannot appear here however cheap it is.

Where to buy: the casein protein shortlist

The pick is the cheapest product that clears four bars:

  • certified, and named at the exact package where the certifier names packages
  • no adverse finding on record
  • a price its retailer let us read recently
  • no more than a year’s supply at the label’s serving

It is ranked per delivered dose where the retailer publishes a delivery rate. Where none does, it is the cheapest such product before delivery, and it says how far the order is from free delivery. It is the same pick the category page shows. Any other answer beside it is the cheapest under a different rule, and its own line names that rule. Answers that cost more than the pick are folded into one line until you open it.

How these lines are chosen

Among 8 products and 8 retailer listings we track; Amazon and Walmart are not included. A month is thirty doses of 25g, priced the same way as the figure beside it. It is worked out before that figure is rounded, so it can differ from thirty times it by a few cents. It is not thirty servings where a serving holds more or less than 25g. “Delivery known” ranks only products whose retailer publishes a delivery rate. A cheaper tested product whose rate is not published gets a line of its own. Every package we price, with its delivery terms, is on the Casein Protein page.
