WHAT IS
Whey & Casein Protein?
Whey and casein are proteins derived from milk and are often used in sports nutrition due to their complete amino acid profile. Whey protein is known for its rapid absorption, making it ideal for post-workout use. Casein, on the other hand, is absorbed more slowly and is suitable for long-term protein supplementation, for example in the evening before bed.
Benefits of Whey Protein
Fast absorption : Quickly absorbed by the body, which aids in immediate muscle recovery after exercise.
Muscle support : Promotes protein synthesis, important for building and maintaining muscles.
BCAAs : Contains branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) which can contribute to muscle maintenance during exercise.
Immune system : Immunoglobulins in whey can support natural resistance.
Benefits of Casein Protein
Slow absorption : Is gradually absorbed by the body, ideal for supplying muscles with proteins for longer.
Muscle Maintenance Throughout the Night : The slow release may help limit muscle breakdown over longer periods of time, such as during sleep.
Calcium-rich : Casein naturally contains calcium, which contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and healthy muscle function.
