Micellar casien from Reflex Nutrition is an instant mixing time released protein powder supplements that is made from fresh skimmed milk. It is not to be confussed with acid casein which are made with a process that can denature the protein. This is a timed release protein sports supplements.
Reflex Nutrition Micellar Casein,is also known as "native milk protein". Reflex Nutrition Micellar casein is extracted from milk through a physical separation process (filtration) that requires less heat than what is used in the production of calcium or sodium caseinate. In addition to being "slow-digesting", micellar casein offers flavor and mouthfeel to food products.
Why Buy Reflex Nutrition Micellar Casein?
- Superior undenatured product containing 80% casein protein & 20% whey protein
- Slow digesting and rich in protein supplement
- Time released protein sports supplement
Reflex Nutrition Micellar casein, an extremely slow digesting and rich protein source that continues to feed your muscles long after whey proteins have dropped off. In fact, studies with this undenatured form of isolated casein protein (Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 1997 Dec 23;94(26):14930-5) have demonstrated it to sustain steady amino acid elevations for an incredible 7 hours. It was shown to offer a strong anti-catabolic effect not noticed with fast digesting whey protein, and actually fostered a much more positive overall net protein balance in comparison.
Micellar Casein protein bodybuilding supplement powder from Reflex Nutrition is an instant mixing time-release protein. The protein found in Micellar Casein is un-denatured, providing approximately 80% casein protein and 20% whey protein.
In a ground breaking study(1), carried out by Dr Yves Boire, the differences in metabolic responses of Whey Protein and Casein were individually observed over a 7 hour period in 16 young & healthy volunteers. The findings were very interesting, and have shown that both Casein and Whey have very different applications when it comes to maintaining and building muscle tissue.
The most important findings were:
i) Casein was found to inhibit muscle breakdown by 34% over a 7 hour period.
ii) Blood plasma amino acid concentrations remained significantly higher over a 7 hour period with casein compared to whey.
iii) Blood plasma amino acid concentrations dropped dramatically after 3 hours in the group consuming whey.
iv) Although blood plasma levels dropped dramatically with Whey, the net increase in protein synthesis was boosted by 68%.
The reason for casein's ability to sustain such a lengthy release of amino acids is because of its unique digestibility. It forms a gel in the stomach, slowing the transit time in the digestive system, and thus slows the digestion of the protein.
These findings demonstrate casein as the perfect protein source when a positive nitrogen balance is preferred for more than 3 hours. e.g when you are sleeping, or a prolonged period during the day. Whereas whey protein is seen as the preferred protein source for increasing protein synthesis. e.g between meals and after workouts. Add this protein source to your existing whey protein supplement intake for sustained source of protein. This is slow release protein source will help with muscle growth and regeneration.
