Just like whey protein, micellar casein protein is derived from milk, predominantly from cow's milk, and is an incredibly popular bodybuilding supplement. Unlike whey protein however, micellar casein protein is a slow-release, slow-digesting protein. Whereas whey comes from milk protein liquids left over when milk turns into cheese, the casein is actually predominantly found in the milk curds which are the solids. Micellar basically means that the protein has been naturally separated from the milk without the use of chemicals. The protein has been filtered in a special way so that the nutrients remain intact and in the best possible condition. Because of this top quality extraction method, micellar casein is top of the line protein that is packed full of its natural nutrients and goodness. Protein is essential for muscle growth and repair, as well as cellular health and function, along with hormone regulation in the human body. Our muscles need protein to repair themselves and function correctly, so without the protein, not only will they not function properly, but they will not be able to repair and rebuild themselves either. Micellar casein protein, due to its molecular structure, is absorbed differently, as it is digested and broken down much slower than whey protein, making it a slow-release protein that is perfect when consumed right before bed. When we sleep, our bodies repair and rebuild damaged muscles, providing they have enough nutrients on hand. Without them, ironically, they eat away at muscle tissue for energy, which is what is known as 'muscle catabolism'. With casein protein, your muscles are fed a steady stream of proteins and amino acids for several hours, preventing muscle wastage and breakdown and promoting growth and repair.

If you get a late night craving for something sweet, simply mix yourself up a casein protein shake before going to bed, and your sweet craving will be satisfied, plus you'll feel full as well. CONVENIENT - Sometimes, we simply don't have the time to eat, and when trying to build muscle, this can be a real pain. By consuming a micellar protein shake however, you are covered for several hours as your body will have all of the protein, amino acids, and nutrients it could ever need.
