CASEIN, PROTEIN IN THE EVENING AND SUPPORTER OF WEIGHT CURE

How can casein protein support weight loss and muscle building? When, why, who should consume it? What types are there and what should you pay attention to?

WHEY VERSUS CASEIN

As we wrote about earlier , whey protein isolate and hydrolyzate are the best for post-workout protein intake (mainly supported with active ingredients that help utilization ). But one of the advantages of whey, fast absorption, is not always an advantage. Eating protein in the evening has several benefits, and it is best to use slow-absorbing protein before going to bed. Furthermore, if you get hungry quickly after training, even though you drank your highly beneficial whey protein, it is still worth thinking about a slow-absorbing protein supplement. Casein protein is (also) the best choice for this purpose.

But which type exactly? And what should you pay attention to when choosing casein protein? How can casein support weight loss, muscle mass gain or maintenance, and regeneration? You will get answers to these now.

WHAT IS CASEIN AND WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR?

Casein is a type of milk protein, it is slowly absorbed and has an excellent amino acid profile. It is well known to protect against catabolic processes, i.e. muscle breakdown. Since it is difficult for the body to digest, the amino acids (the building blocks of proteins) remain in the bloodstream for several hours, i.e. casein provides the body with valuable amino acids for a long time. This is a desirable effect at night, during sleep.

But casein is not only recommended for evening consumption, but also between meals or to replace meals. It is more satiating than the quickly absorbed whey, permanently reducing the feeling of hunger , thereby supporting weight loss, dieting, and maintaining an optimal weight.

WHEN IS IT WORTH IT TO CONSUME?

After training, whey isolate and hydrolyzate are the best choice, as our muscles need a quick amino acid recharge at that time. In all other cases, however, casein protein may be more beneficial, because it provides protein replacement in the long term and reduces the feeling of hunger. So after training whey isolate or hydrolyzate, casein protein is recommended in the evening and between meals.

WHICH IS THE BEST TYPE OF CASEIN?

The most effective casein type is micellar casein. Unlike other caseins, micellar casein is produced using a cold process, which preserves the protein structure. Thanks to this special enzymatic process, micellar casein is more useful than other types of casein, and has a more effective muscle-building and immune-boosting effect . If you see the words micellar or micellar on a protein food supplement, you should check the ingredients and find out whether it ALSO contains micellar casein (perhaps only in a smaller amount, i.e. mixed with other types of casein with a damaged structure), or 100% micellar casein.

HOW CAN YOU ENHANCE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF MICELLAR CASEIN?

The disadvantage of casein is that its biological utilization value is worse than that of whey proteins. Although the long-lasting amino acid supplementation, the excellent amino acid composition, the excellent glutamine content and the permanent reduction of the feeling of hunger are on the other side of the scale, you don't necessarily have to accept the lower utilization value either. Because with special, natural enzymes, such as DigeZyme® , which is protected by a world patent, the utilization of casein can be greatly increased. With the help of the DigeZyme® enzyme system, the muscles can utilize more amino acids from the same amount of casein protein , i.e. the effect is enhanced.

Based on the above, the best choice may be a casein preparation containing 100% micellar casein protein and supported by an enzyme system . Panhellen Micellar Casein, for example, is made with these facts in mind.

POSSIBILITIES OF USING CASEIN

Casein proteins are also known to be extremely delicious and can be flavored very well, which is why they have a high enjoyment value . It can be consumed as a shake (30g of casein powder mixed with 2-2.5dl of water) or mixed to a thick, pudding-like consistency (with a little water, milk or vegetable milk), which can also be used as a dessert, while its carbohydrate and fat content is extremely low.

In summary, micellar casein protein may be the best choice for evening protein intake, weight loss support and in terms of enjoyment value.

MICELLAR CASEIN

Enjoy losing weight! The new Panhellen micellar casein protein is amazingly delicious, creamy and extremely hunger-satisfying in the long term, while making a great contribution to the diet. More than 75% of the protein-fat-carbohydrate trio is pure protein! It fills you up so well that you can replace a meal with it, use it as a "guilt-free" evening snack, mix it thickly (with a little water) and you get a pudding-like delicacy that you can even spoon.

In addition to the phenomenal gastro experience, Micellar Casein is an excellent protein source that is absorbed slowly and over a long period of time, nourishing the muscles for a long time and helping regeneration. It is a perfect choice for the evening, even before going to bed, but you can consume and enjoy it at any time of the day. Of course, it is also ideal for post-workout protein replacement, if only because it suppresses hunger in the long term and provides the body with amino acids for a long time. In 2 fabulous flavors.
