There’s no arguing that whey protein is the most popular protein powder on the market. However, you may be surprised to learn the value of adding casein to your nutritional plan, particularly if you are actively working out. To understand why casein protein is a valuable addition to your products lines, let’s take a look at how it is manufactured.
How Is It Made?
Much like other protein powders, casein protein is created as a by-product of the cheese making process. After a curdling agent is added to milk, the solids and liquids will begin to clump as they separate into solids and liquids. These solids are then skimmed and dehydrated to create a protein powder or go on to be used as is to make cheese, such as cottage cheese.
How Is It Different?
Most whey protein powders will be rapidly absorbed by the body, making them very valuable following a workout to limit soreness and promote muscle growth. However, casein protein takes its time to be absorbed and provide a steady stream of protein for your muscles. For this reason, most individuals will take casein prior to sleeping to provide a constant supply of protein while sleeping not only for muscle health but diminished late-night hunger.
Casein can also serve as a very powerful meal replacement shake because it provides a sense of fullness much longer than other protein products. Because it absorbs slowly, the protein content in casein provides long-lasting sustenance for those attempting to limit their food intake. These absorption differences between whey and casein making investing in both a great idea to ensure your body has the protein supply needed to perform at its best at all times.
