casein protein The answer is casein protein. Although casein has been shown to be slightly inferior to whey in its muscle-building ability, it's still your best bet when it comes to a bed-time protein source. The reason? Your body needs to be sustained for six to eight hours during sleep without food.

Read More »What is casein protein? Casein (pronounced kay-seen) is the predominant protein found in milk. It is made by separating the casein from the whey in dairy (milk protein is 80 percent casein and 20 percent whey). There are three main types of casein protein: micellar casein, milk protein isolate and calcium caseinate. On average, one scoop (30 grams) of casein protein powder has approximately 100-120 calories and 25 grams of protein. What are the benefits of casein, bedtime or anytime? Research shows that when you consume casein, you will reach a peak in blood amino acids and protein synthesis between three to four hours. The total release of amino acids in the bloodstream, however, can last as long as seven hours after ingestion of casein protein. This is the reverse of whey protein supplements, which are metabolized quickly and recommended immediately after training and first thing in the morning. That's a whole other article, so check back to read it. Besides its slow-digesting benefits, casein is invaluable for its high glutamine content. Of all the protein powders available, casein has the highest concentration of this amino acid. Glutamine provides a multitude of functions, which include increasing levels of the branched chain amino acid leucine in muscle fibers, enhancing protein synthesis and therefore, muscle growth. Because the immune system requires glutamine to function, consuming extra glutamine prevents the immune system from stealing it from muscle fibers, further averting catabolism. Glutamine also boosts growth hormone levels and can even aid fat loss by increasing the amount of calories and body fat burned both at rest and during exercise. While all food has a thermic effect, research proves that lean protein sources have the most thermogenic punch. Your body burns more calories digesting proteins than carbs or fat. Protein also satiates: you feel full longer after eating a protein-rich meal (which also helps for weight loss goals). Do whey proteins offer the same effect as straight casein? Either protein supplements are straight whey, soy, egg or casein; or they are a combination of any or all of these kinds of proteins, making them blends. What can a blend of proteins offer that a straight protein cannot? Basically, different rates of digestion. This means you can take a blended protein any time to get quick, medium, and prolonged absorption of protein.

This ideal proprietary balanced formulation provides up to four hours of maximum protein uptake and utilization. But, I really like my whey protein supplement. Turn your favorite whey protein shake into a slow digesting one by simply mixing with milk, preferably low fat or skimmed. While casein protein is optimal before bed, don't forget that milk is 80 percent casein, adding it to any whey protein will slow down its absorption. Adding a fat such as natural peanut butter, flax or other healthy fat can further slow digestion, thus mimicking casein protein. While casein, nor any other supplement, is the secret to building muscle or your silver bullet for weight loss, it is an invaluable ingredient to your recipe for success! And something that does great things for your body while you sleep. MS&F
