Protein: Why Your Body Needs It?

Casein Protein

Casein Protein
Casein Protein

Just like whey, casein is a protein present in milk. Therefore, casein absorbs and digests more slowly. Casein makes a gel when it interrelates with stomach acid, lowering down stomach emptying and delaying the absorption of amino acids. This results in a slower and steadier muscle exposure to amino acids, lowering the rate of breakdown of muscle protein. Researches indicate that casein is more effective at raising MPS and strength than wheat protein and soy but less than whey protein.
