Casein Protein is a premium quality, slow release protein derived from milk. Using a low temperature ultra filtration process allows the finished ingredient to retain its nutritional quality and functionality, when compared to acid casein or caseinates. Casein Protein is absorbed slowly by the stomach allowing a tapered supply of amino acids to the muscle over a prolonged period of time. This makes Micellar Casein the ideal protein supplement for between meals and before bed. During sleep, the body is normally starved of nutrients as it is impractical to consume food. However, as Micellar Casein provides a sustained supply of protein it allows your body to avoid muscle breakdown during the night. Casein Protein has an excellent amino acid profile and is particularly high in branched chain amino acids (BCAAs). It is also extremely low in fat whilst also providing an excellent source of calcium.
