What is Micellar Casein, and how does it differ from whey protein?
Micellar Casein is a type of protein derived from milk, making up about 80% of the total protein content in milk. Its unique structure forms micelles, small spherical structures dispersed in milk. Unlike whey protein, Micellar Casein takes longer to digest, providing a slow-release of protein over an extended period of time.
What are the key benefits of using Micellar Casein as a protein supplement?
Some key benefits of Micellar Casein may include:
Muscle protein synthesis: It supports muscle repair and growth over a longer period.
Satiety: The slow digestion helps in feeling full for longer, aiding weight management and reducing snacking.
Bedtime use: Taking it before bed maintains a positive protein balance throughout the night.
Anti-catabolic properties: It may prevent muscle breakdown during periods of prolonged fasting or between meals.
