Optimum 100% Casein Protein

Description

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 casein proteins to be broken down into their amino acid subcomponents than whey and other proteins. Because of these unique “time-released” qualities, casein proteins are aptly described as being anti-catabolic, or muscle-protecting, protein.

Ingredients

Protein blend (micellar casein, calcium caseinate), natural and artificial flavours, inulin, salt, lecithin, gum blend (cellulose gum, xanthan gum, carrageenan), sucralose, aminogen, yellow #5.
