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

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.

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.
