Sport Supplement Direct’s Micellar Casein is a high quality slow digesting protein with an exceptional amino acid profile. Micellar Casein’s sustained amino acid release keeps amino acid concentration in the blood for a longer time, allowing steady and continuous absorption. This prolonged release effectively halts catabolism and provides muscles with a sustainable pool of amino acids to prevent muscle breakdown and promote lean muscle.

Benefits of using Casein

Micellar casein is a very high biological value protein that forms clumps when it enters the stomach, and hence is very slow digesting. This results in a slower release of amino acids into the body, which is beneficial for periods in which food is no longer being consumed. It has been shown that four hours after ingestion of whey protein, branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) are no longer being supplied to the body, while micellar casein was still able to supply BCAAs at this time. Furthermore, significantly higher concentrations of leucine (a BCAA) can be found in circulation seven hours after consuming micellar casein compared to whey protein. Casein most beneficial before bed, between meals or anytime the body goes hours without protein.
