Biogen Complete Whey is a delicious, high protein shake that contains a precise blend of high biological value, fast and slower digesting proteins. The ideal ratio of whey, casein, milk protein concentrate, and plant proteins in this product provides a timed-release formulation with a superior amino acid profile that allows for optimum nitrogen retention.
