What
is Micellar Casein?
Micellar
Casein is a type of protein derived from milk. Micellar Casein which is the
best type of casein available due to being naturally occurring is made up of
80% casein, and 20% whey. Micellar Casein is synthesized by way of ultra filtration
from milk to create a natural, undenatured protein source very rich in milk
peptides. These various milk peptides can help to boost the bodies’ immune
system and enhance muscle growth. Casein proteins are most known for releasing
their amino acids for a longer period of time than traditional whey. Micellar
Casein is a very slow acting protein that releases its amino acids over a
period of 6-7 hours. It achieves this slow release effect by turning to a gel
like substance in the stomach to slow digestion and allow the body to sustain
higher nitrogen retention levels in the body. The benefits of Casein are that
it is extremely anti catabolic and also tend to be high in glutamine and other
essential nutrients for growth because it is in all natural predigested form.
This means that it will keep the body fed with the protein it needs for a long
period of time and prevent the breakdown of muscle tissue. This makes this
protein ideal for a meal replacement throughout the day. It is also used most
commonly for use before bed time to ensure the body is fed throughout the night
where the most muscle growth occurs. Due to its properties Micellar Casein can
be a very beneficial protein to use when dieting. The slow release causing the
user to obtain a feeling of fullness for longer thus reducing caloric intake.
How to use Micellar Casein?
Micellar
Casein is best consumed at a ratio of 1 rounded scoop of powder with 200-250ml
(depending on desired consistency) of cold water, or milk. If taking for a meal
replacement then 1 rounded scoop at any meal will suffice. You may mix your
Casein with things such as raw oats, raw flaxseed, or oat bran to create a home
made meal replacement. If consuming protein for nighttime recovery 1-2 scoops
depending on body weight with 1-2 cups of milk will be best to allow maximum
effectiveness in reducing muscle breakdown and enhancing growth.
Benefits?
Muscle
Building- Micellar Casein is an excellent muscle builder because it keeps the
body fed at all times. With proper casein supplementation in combination with
fast acting proteins such as 100% isolate, or W hey blend the body will always
have the protein it needs to burn muscle and fuel growth. Micellar Casein
protein is an excellent muscle builder also as it is naturally occurring and
predigested so it contains extra nutrients other protein do not have such as
milk peptides and high glutamine levels ( good for muscle recovery).
Fat
Loss- Micellar Casein is great for fat
loss as it can provide a healthy meal replacement that is low in carbohydrates
and fat yet allows the user to feel full for a longer period of time.
Glycomacropeptides (GMP) in casein are responsible for the body to increase
levels of CKK (colecystokinin) an enzyme that tells your body you are full.
During times of dieting when caloric intake is restricted casein also has the
added benefit of being anti-catabolic meaning it will prevent muscle loss while
allowing you to burn body fat.
General
Health- Micellar Casein is unique in the fact that it contains a high amount of
milk peptides. These peptides cause a positive effective in boosting immune
system. Peptides such as immunoglobins and lactoperoxidase are responsible for
supporting the immune systems to prevent illness such as colds and flu's that
the pressures of hard training and work can cause.
Always
consult with a physician about anything related to your health and nutrition.
