About Casein protein

Casein protein, derived from milk, is a slow-digesting protein commonly used in dietary supplements and protein-rich foods. It makes up about 80% of the protein in cow's milk and is known for its ability to form a gel-like substance in the stomach, promoting a gradual release of amino acids into the bloodstream. This slow absorption makes casein ideal for muscle repair and growth during periods of fasting, such as overnight. With origins tied to dairy-rich cuisines, casein is a staple in bodybuilding and fitness communities due to its sustained protein delivery. It is rich in essential amino acids but relatively low in fats and carbohydrates. However, individuals with lactose intolerance or a milk allergy should avoid casein-containing products. Although highly beneficial for athletes and those requiring prolonged protein release, excessive consumption can lead to digestive discomfort.
