Casein Protein

Casein protein is a slowly digested protein found in milk and dairy products, making up about 80% of the protein content in cow's milk. Unlike whey protein, which is absorbed quickly, casein forms a gel in the stomach, leading to a gradual release of amino acids into the bloodstream. This slow digestion makes casein popular for overnight recovery, as it can provide a steady supply of nutrients to muscles. It's often used in protein supplements and is recognized for its potential benefits in muscle growth and repair, particularly when consumed before periods of prolonged fasting, like overnight.
