What is it?
Micellar casein is the dominant protein found in milk, making up approximately 80% of its total protein content. Unlike whey, casein forms a gel in the stomach, leading to a slow and sustained release of amino acids into the bloodstream over several hours. This makes it uniquely suited for extended periods without food, such as overnight.

Why use it?
Micellar casein provides a sustained drip-feed of amino acids for up to 8 hours. This anti-catabolic property helps prevent muscle breakdown during sleep or long gaps between meals. It is particularly valuable during calorie deficits where preserving lean muscle tissue is critical.

How it works
When consumed, micellar casein forms a clot in the acidic environment of the stomach. This gel-like structure slows gastric emptying and results in a gradual release of amino acids into the bloodstream. This sustained delivery maintains elevated blood amino acid levels for 6–8 hours, continuously supporting muscle protein synthesis and reducing muscle protein breakdown.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I take casein?

The most popular time is 30–60 minutes before bed to support overnight recovery. It can also be used between meals when you know there will be a long gap before your next protein source.

Can I mix casein with whey?

Yes. Combining fast-absorbing whey with slow-release casein provides both an immediate amino acid spike and sustained delivery. This is a popular strategy for maximising muscle protein synthesis throughout the day.

Does casein taste different to whey?

Casein has a thicker, creamier texture than whey. Many people find it more satisfying as a shake on its own, and it works particularly well blended with frozen fruit for a protein pudding consistency.
