Micellar Casein (Milk Protein Isolate)

Milk is made up of two proteins: 80% Casein and 20% Whey. Casein differs from Whey as the absorption rate is much slower. This give Casein the distinct advantage of supplying the body with a steady supply of amino acids and nutrients for almost 12 hours after consumption. For this reason, Casein is often consumed before bed as this is usually the longest time the body goes without food.
