“Great just before bed, tastes nice and always helps with that overnight recovery.” – Kane
Our Ultra fine 100% Micellar Casein is the perfect shake for those who need a slow releasing protein to take before bed.
Providing your body with a sustained release of high quality, pure protein at night helps drip feed the muscle with a continuous supply of amino acids.
While you're lying there dreaming about hitting your next PB your body is getting that all-important protein and muscle recovery whilst you sleep.
Ever wondered what happens to your body and muscle repair while we catch our beauty sleep? (not like you need it). While you're lying there dreaming about hitting your next PB your body is becoming deprived of amino acids, and that all-important protein.
The truth is that muscle repair doesn't just stop when your head hits the hay, it continues on throughout the night. Sleep offers an opportunity for recovery, recharging our batteries after a long day. How about giving it a helping hand with muscle recovery too? Micellar protein will provide a steady stream of amino acids where a whey protein wouldn't be able to... Recent investigations have shown that 40g of casein pre-bed increased muscle protein growth by 22% when compared with a placebo. The high protein within this slow releasing muscle building powder contributes towards the growth in muscle mass and also the maintenance of normal bones.
100% Micellar Casein could be the perfect slow releasing protein that your body needs to recover during the night. Providing your body with a sustained release of high quality, pure protein at night helps drip feed the muscle with a continuous supply of amino acids. Packing an incredible 24.8g of protein, 0.4g of fat and 0.6g of sugar per 30g serving, this shake is the ultimate night time protein cure.
Weighing up the differences between Micellar and whey protein shows some very comparable results, with one main difference between the two. The rate of absorption!
Whilst Micellar Casein provides a sustained slow release of protein and amino acids, whey protein provides your body with an instant kick! The debate of which is better has been going for years, but the fact is neither is better than each other, they both have very valuable elements but just have their own place in the protein world. While Micellar casein is perfect for a source of night time protein, whey protein is ideal for post workout. Often, people use both in their diet routines, to get the best out of both worlds.
Being crowned the champion of bedtime protein might give it away a little. But the simple answer to this question is that it's recommended to be consumed before catching some of those ‘zzz’s’. This allows your body to absorb and administer a continuous flow of protein so you can snore to your heart's content (don't worry we won't tell anyone, we all do it). However, because of Micellar Caseins ability to provide this slow release of protein also makes it an ideal shake to have throughout the day. Maintaining optimal protein levels will help you develop your overall physique and help reach your goals quicker and easier than ever.
