BIOTECH USA MICELLAR CASEIN - 908gThe complex composition of Micellar Casein provides long-term nutrition for our muscles.✓ High protein content: 73%✓ Added L-glutamine✓ Slow absorption time✓ Low sugar content✓ Gluten-free✓ Palm oil-free✓ Fat-free✓ No preservativesSIZE MATTERSMicellar Casein is a colloidal giant molecule and due to its special structure it is a slow-absorbing protein.This complex composition provides long-term nutrition supply for the muscles. It is an excellent choice before going to bed or during a long trip, because the digestion of casein-based proteins can take up to a good few hours.Choose the protein product Micellar Casein and take good care of your muscles!We recommend Micellar Casein if you:✓ want an excellent protein source, because the protein content of the product contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass as well as to healthy and normal bones;✓ need a protein product to go with your diet before going to sleep;✓ want to consume protein powder after your evening workout or between meals;✓ have faster metabolism, because it absorbs more slowly✓ are gluten-sensitiveWHY DO YOU NEED TO TAKE PROTEINS?Protein is an essential building block in our bodies. It is a source of nutrition consisting of amino acids produced by the body or taken in from external sources that you have to consume daily in order to sustain yourself. It helps to retain your muscles during workout, dieting or everyday life. Your need for protein increases if you regularly do sports, or if you want to grow muscle mass or when you start ageing.WHY SHOULD YOU TAKE PROTEIN SUPPLEMENTS?The consumption of protein shakes is a fast, practical and highly effective way to ensure the right protein intake. You only need the protein powder, a shaker and some water for it. Protein powder can be made from milk, but it can be derived from animals or plants, as well a combination of these. Their absorption can be fast (30-40 min), medium (1-2 hours) or slow (longer than 2 hours).Like all BioTechUSA products, Micellar Casein consists of safe and carefully selected ingredients.Supplement Facts for Biotech USA Micellar Casein:Serving Size: 1 Scoop/ 2 Table Spoons (30g)Servings Per Container: 30Amount Per Serving Biotech USA Micellar Casein:Energy 445 kJ/ 105 kcalFat 0.9g- of which saturates 0.5gCarbohydrate 2.0g- of which sugars 1.5gProtein 22gSalt 0.32gEssential Amino Acids 9063mg- of which BCAA's 4286mgConditionally Essential Amino Acids 9613mgNonessential Amino Acids 3323mgOther Ingredients in Biotech USA Micellar Casein:Cookies & Cream: micellar casein concentrate (contains milk) 87%, L-glutamine 5%, flavourings, creamer [partly hydrogenated coconut fat,skimmed milk powder, emulsifiers (E471, E472a), glucose syrup, sucrose, milk protein, stabiliser (potassium phosphates), anti-caking agent (calcium phosphates)], chocolate powder [cocoa mass,cocoa butter, fat-reduced cocoa powder, emulsifier:lecithins (soy), flavouring], cinnamon, thickener(cellulose gum), salt, anti-caking agent (silicondioxide), sweetener (sucralose).Recommended Use for Biotech USA Micellar Casein:Mix 1 serving (30 g=1 flat measuring spoon=2 heaping spoons) with 300 ml water.

OPTIMUM NUTRITION GOLD STANDARD 100% CASEIN - 1820 g Sometimes slower is better-especially when it comes to the rate of protein digestion. While rapid protein absorption is desirable immediately before or after exercise, delayed release is probably more beneficial throughout the remainder of the day. Casein proteins are pH sensitive and gel in the acidic environment of the stomach. As a result, it can take more than twice as long for caseins to be broken-down into their amino acid subcomponents than whey and other proteins. Casein is the most abundant protein present in milk. It is considered a high quality protein because it is easily assimilated and it supplies sufficient quantities of amino acids that cannot be synthesized by the body. Another benefit is increased satiety (feeling of fullness or satisfaction). Casein exerts a slight pressure on the stomach walls. In effect, this pressure signals to the brain to stop eating because the stomach is full. Casein is the most slowly digested and absorbed type of protein. This helps create a "timed-release" effect, providing a steady stream of amino acids to your muscles over a long period of time. The net result is a greatly enhanced anti-catabolic environment which is much more friendly to growth and recovery. Bodybuilders and athletes looking to build lean muscle, prevent muscle breakdown, and reduce recovery times, and individuals interested in improving the quality of their sleep can greatly benefit from casein. Casein Research Perhaps the most interesting kernel on casein to come from the scientific community is the Boirie study, which found that casein managed about a 31% increase in protein synthesis (to whey's 68%)... but also reduced whole-body protein degradation (catabolism) by 34%. More importantly, researchers found that casein contributed to a positive nitrogen balance an average of 7 hours after ingestion. The Biorie study has since spurred further research of casein. Another study looked at the effect casein might have on body composition when used as part of a 12-week weight-training program. Participants were separated into two groups, each of which maintained a balanced diet including 75 grams of protein per day. The difference was in the sources of protein used: while the first group relied on whey-based drinks to reach their daily protein requirements, the second group made use of milk protein isolates (80% casein, 20% whey). At the end of the study, the milk protein isolate group had lost more fat (15.4 lbs. vs. 9.2 lbs.), gained more lean mass (9 lbs. vs. 4.4 lbs.), and gained more upper and lower body strength than the whey group. Additional studies, though not as influential, have indicated casein may lower "bad" LDL cholesterol levels and increase "good" HDL cholesterol levels at the same time. In people whose immune systems were weakened by illness or disease, casein appears to demonstrate anti-viral and immune system-enhancing properties. Casein has even been linked to decreases in inflammatory factors in cardiovascular disease. 100% Casein Protein Supplement Facts: Serving Size: 1 Heaping Scoop (32g) Servings Per Container: 55-56 Amount Per Serving: Calories 120 Calories from Fat 10 Total Fat 1 g Saturated Fat 0.5 g Cholesterol 10 mg Total Carbohydrate 4 g Dietary Fiber 1 g Sugars 1 g Protein 23 g Calcium 450 mg Sodium 250 mg Aminogen 23 mg Typical Amino Acid Profile Per Serving(mg): Alanine 636 Arginine 830 Methionine 617 Aspartic Acid 1523 Phenylalanine 1096 Cystine 76 Proline 2320 Glutamine 4744 Serine 1338 Glycine 489 Threonine 996 Histidine 659 Tryptophan 280 Isoleucine 1257 Tyrosine 811 Leucine 2040 Valine 1542 100% Casein Protein Other Ingredients: Protein Blend (Micellar Casein, Calcium Caseinate), Cocoa (processed with alkali), Natural & Artificial Flavors, Salt, Gum Blend (Cellulose Gum, Xanthan Gum, Carrageenan), Sucralose. 100% Casein Protein Recommended Use: Use ON 100% Casein Protein immediately before bed, in place of small meals, and/or any other time when delayed protein absorption is desired.
