NZ PROTEIN MICELLAR CASEIN 1KG

Slow Digesting Protein

Micellar casein protein is one of the many supplements we offer at NZProtein.

We have recently reformulated our product so now it tastes even better than before!

Micellar is the most popular form of casein and is known as a slow digesting protein.

Casein protein has a number of functions including recovery, muscle growth and improved health. Read below to learn more.

Casein vs Whey Protein

Milk contains two different proteins; whey and casein. The main difference between the two is the rate at which they are absorbed by the body.

Whey is digested relatively quickly whereas casein is a much slower digesting protein.

Both types of protein have their place in a healthy diet however it is ideal to consume them at different times.

Benefits of Casein

Casein is a complete protein meaning it contains all of the essential amino acids your body requires.

The most important amino acid for stimulating new muscle growth is leucine.

Studies recommend 50mg of leucine per kilogram of bodyweight daily if your goal is to build muscle.

Our casein contains approximately 2400mg of leucine per serve meaning it is a suitable supplement for those looking to increase their muscle mass.

Additionally it contains only 114 calories per serve.

This makes it a great option for those who are trying to lose fat and retain muscle.

Casein also contains nutrients like peptides which support the immune system and have a range of positive effects on the human body.

Studies have shown casein can also help to reduce high blood pressure and even lower your triglyceride response after a meal.

For the majority of people, casein is an excellent supplement to improve muscle gains and help you maintain a healthy body fat.

Digestibility

Digestibility refers to the proportion of amino acids available in the bloodstream after consuming food.

Animal proteins, like casein, have a digestibility of around 90% whereas plant proteins are around 45-80%.

This means your body will easily absorb the protein and hardly any will go to waste.

Night Time Protein

As mentioned above, casein is often referred to as the ‘slow digesting protein’.

For this reason it is typically consumed before bed. The rationale is that doing so will reduce muscle breakdown while one is asleep.

When your body has a sustained supply of amino acids, the chances of muscle breakdown significantly diminish.

If you plan on going for a long period without food, a serving of casein protein would be a great option to have before doing beginning your fast.

Made in New Zealand

Like our other whey proteins, casein is made from New Zealand cow’s milk.

New Zealand dairy products are widely regarded as being high quality.

Our cows are pasture raised and grass fed. It is well established that grass fed cattle produce more nutritious milk compared to factory farmed.

Consuming New Zealand made protein not only supports the local economy but is also better for your health.

Taste, Texture & Mixability

We stock gourmet vanilla, chocolate and unflavoured options of micellar casein.

According to our reviews they all mix well in either water or milk, taste great and can also be used in baking.

Blending 32g with water and ice is an easy to make a scrumptious milkshake.

If you get bored of drinking shakes, there are a range of exciting casein recipes to try. The unflavoured option is perfect to add to baking without affecting the flavour profile.

Alternatively you could stir the chocolate flavour into greek yoghurt and make a high protein chocolate pudding. The different uses for casein are endless.
