What is micellar casein?
Micellar casein is the best form of casein in terms of quality Protein because the protein fractions break down more slowly from the body. This ensures a delayed release of the amino acids into the bloodstream. In manufacturing, ultrafiltration is used to improve the consistency and composition of the protein product.
Shortly after training, quickly digestible whey protein helps to usher in the regeneration process and support muscle building. At this point, the body needs quickly usable amino acids of good quality. Because whey protein has a high valence of 104 to 110
possesses, it can be broken down very quickly and efficiently by the body. On the other hand, between meals and before bedtime, when food has been dormant for a while, it may be helpful to resort to protein powders such as the Gold Standard 100% casein, which have a slower digestibility (since casein has one Has a value of approximately 70 to 80). Due to its protein fractions and its nature, the product can supply the body with important amino acids for several hours. This is equivalent to an increased supply of protein and is therefore the best basis for building muscle.
Due to its viscous consistency and the slower digestion just described, the casein is significantly more filling than a whey protein shake. Therefore, it is ideal as a low-calorie, protein-rich snack, or in the evening before sleep.
Ingestion of casein protein
Ideally, the casein should be taken in the evening before going to bed, because repair and building processes take place at night, including muscle building. The delayed digestion of the protein guarantees that the muscles will be supplied for many hours. For this reason, casein is also called bed time or night time protein.
The Optimum Nutrition Gold 100% Casein can keep the blood sugar level constant due to the gel formation, because the digested sugar molecules can only penetrate the gel layer very slowly. The balanced blood sugar signals a stronger satiety to the brain and gives the body the feeling of satiety. provides 24g casein per serving for muscle building, the majority of which consists of micellar casein. In addition, it provides 9g BCAA’s and glutamine, which can drastically increase strength and muscle mass.
Ingredients of the Gold Standard 100% Casein
The powder consists mostly of micellar casein from milk and, depending on taste, among other things from cocoa powder and especially amino acids. The amino acid profile for one serving is as follows: alanine 600 mg, arginine 780 mg, glutamine 4.5 g, isoleucine 1.2 g, leucine 1.95 g, lysine 1.65 g, tryptophan 270 mg, valine 1.47 g , In this way, casein supports muscle building by counteracting the degrading processes that can result from hard training. The Optimum Nutrition Casein contains an enzyme complex for easier protein digestion.
It also has 3g carbohydrates and 0.5g fat, making it ideal for building lean muscle mass. Studies confirm that a casein protein shake can stop muscle loss by more than 30%.
Casein tastes not only as a shake
Like all protein powders from Optimum Nutrition, the Gold Standard 100% Casein is available in many flavors. In our experience, the classics Chocolate and Vanilla are the most popular varieties. Thanks to its creamy and viscous consistency (compared to whey) and the high quality in terms of solubility, the powder is also ideal for being stirred or shaken in water. If you change the mixing ratio, you can also use the Chocolate variety to make a delicious chocolate pudding, for example. Instead of a milkshake, casein is also drunk ice cold or turned into chocolate ice cream on warm days. The taste is even clearer with water and not rated as sweet as a shake with milk. Compared to whey, the Optimum Nutrition Casein is also more suitable for baking. Desserts and small snacks get an extra portion of protein and you can make your own protein treats at a low price. Whether chocolate cookies or low carb cheesecake with a delicious vanilla taste, there are no limits to the imagination.
Either way, the Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Casein offers something for every taste and provides long-term supply of protein of the highest quality for sure. For an ideal contribution to muscle building at a good price-performance ratio.
