Casein
Casein, like Whey protein is derived from cow's milk. It provides the body with all of the amino acids that it cannot manufacture. This protein helps to improve muscle metabolism due to its slower digestion. Its use is recommended if gaining dry mass is your goal or if you have a fast metabolism.

What is Casein?
Casein is much more than just a protein. It makes up 80% of the proteins found in milk and is obtained by filtering cow's milk. It's not just a source of essential amino acids that your body can't produce; it's also a way to unleash your best version. Thanks to its manufacturing process, casein is very pure and creamy. This complex process allows for slower digestion, setting it apart from Whey, which is absorbed more quickly. The amino acids it provides are therefore absorbed more slowly (+/- 6 hours), ideal for long-term expansion. That's why it's called a slow protein.
Why Take Casein?
Casein to Reduce Catabolism
Casein is not just a protein; it's your ally to push your limits. It will help in the development of your muscles and act as an anti-catabolic agent. Catabolism is what happens when your body lacks protein. If protein intake is insufficient, the body will draw from the muscles, leading to muscle mass loss. Casein will help delay the point at which the body runs out of protein.
Casein for Lean Mass Gain
This powdered protein is recommended for so-called lean mass gain. Looking to reduce your caloric intake without losing muscle? Casein is for you. Its slower absorption will help with the growth and maintenance of your muscles. And if you have a faster-than-average metabolism and thus difficulty gaining muscle mass, casein will also be your best choice.
Casein for All Athletes
Casein is not only for bodybuilding enthusiasts. Whether you're a high-level athlete or a weekend warrior, casein can help you optimize your recovery and power through your sessions with energy.
When to Take Casein?
To take full advantage of casein's effectiveness, it is advised to take it during long periods when the body is not ingesting many nutrients. For example, before going to sleep so that casein acts against catabolism during your sleep. During these periods, the low nutrient intake can impact your muscle mass gain.
Other Times to Take It
Casein can also be taken as a snack, between meals or in the morning. It can also be combined with your Whey protein if your post-workout meal is several hours after the workout.
How to Choose Your Casein?
Types of Casein
There are different types of casein, including micellar casein and hydrolyzed casein. The former is the purest and most natural, while the latter is pre-digested for faster absorption. Your choice will depend on your specific needs and lifestyle.
Casein is available in a variety of flavors, ranging from chocolate to vanilla to more exotic options like coconut. Choose a flavor you like to make consumption more enjoyable.
Additional Benefits of Casein
- Immune System Support
- Casein also contains immunoglobulins and lactoferrins that can help strengthen your immune system. This is a significant plus, especially if you train intensely.
- Appetite Control
- Thanks to its slow digestion, casein can also help control your appetite by making you feel full longer. It's an excellent choice if you're looking to lose weight while maintaining muscle mass.
