Muscle protein synthesis: Due to its slow digestion, micellar casein can help support muscle protein synthesis for a more extended period, promoting muscular repair and growth.
Satiety: The slow digestion and release of amino acids can help keep you feeling full for a longer time, which can be beneficial for those trying to manage their weight or avoid excessive snacking.
Bedtime use: Micellar casein is perfect for taking just before bed, in order to maintain a positive protein balance throughout the night.
Anti-catabolic properties: Micellar casein may help prevent muscle breakdown (catabolism) during periods of prolonged fasting or between meals.
What is Micellar Casein, and how does it differ from whey protein?
Micellar Casein is a type of protein derived from milk, making up about 80% of the total protein content in milk. Its unique structure forms micelles, small spherical structures dispersed in milk. Unlike whey protein, Micellar Casein takes longer to digest, providing a slow-release of protein over an extended period of time.
What are the key benefits of using Micellar Casein as a protein supplement?
Some key benefits of Micellar Casein may include:
Muscle protein synthesis: It supports muscle repair and growth over a longer period.
Satiety: The slow digestion helps in feeling full for longer, aiding weight management and reducing snacking.
Bedtime use: Taking it before bed maintains a positive protein balance throughout the night.
Anti-catabolic properties: It may prevent muscle breakdown during periods of prolonged fasting or between meals.
How does MARCHON™ Micellar Casein aid in recovery and muscle building?
MARCHON™ Micellar Casein is designed to provide a slow-release of protein. This slow digestion helps in prolonged muscle protein synthesis, aiding in muscle repair and growth while you rest.
Can Micellar Casein be used as a meal replacement?
Micellar Casein is not meant to replace meals entirely. It is best used as a supplement to support protein intake, especially when taken before bed or during prolonged periods without eating.
Is Micellar Casein suitable for lactose-intolerant individuals?
Micellar Casein is derived from milk, and it may contain trace amounts of lactose. Individuals with lactose intolerance should exercise caution and consider consulting a healthcare professional before using Micellar Casein to ensure it suits their dietary needs.
When to take
There are two times to use Casein for maximum results.
Bedtime use: Micellar casein is perfect for taking just before bed, to maintain a positive protein balance throughout the night.
Anti-catabolic properties: Micellar casein may help prevent muscle breakdown (catabolism) during periods of prolonged fasting or between meals.
How long until I see benefits?
When taking casein protein supplements, you may start to notice benefits within a few weeks, but the full effects can take longer to manifest. Here are some key points about the timeline for seeing benefits from casein:
Muscle recovery and soreness: You may notice improvements in muscle soreness and recovery within 1-2 weeks of consistent use, especially if taking casein before bed.
Muscle growth and strength gains: Significant changes in muscle mass and strength typically take at least 6-8 weeks of consistent use combined with proper resistance training.
Appetite control: The satiating effects of casein can often be felt within a few days of regular consumption.
How to take
You can use casein as a drink or make it into a mousse.
For a drink mix one scoop (35g) in 300ml+ of water and shake well.
For a mousse mix one scoop (35g) in 150ml of water, mix and leave to set for 10-15 minutes in the fridge.
Common mistakes people make
Here are some common mistakes people make when taking casein protein.
Taking it at the wrong time: Casein is best consumed before bed or between meals due to its slow-digesting nature. Taking it immediately post-workout is not ideal, as faster-absorbing proteins like whey are better for that timing.
Mixing it incorrectly: Casein tends to clump more than whey protein. Use a blender or shaker bottle and mix thoroughly to avoid clumps.
Expecting immediate results: Casein's benefits are more long-term, especially for overnight muscle recovery and growth. Ignoring potential allergies: Casein is derived from milk, so those with dairy allergies or severe lactose intolerance should avoid it.
Ultimately there aren’t too many issues regarding casein and it is a safe and effective supplement.
Micellar casein is a type of protein derived from milk. It is the other key protein component from whey, with Casein making up about 80% of the total protein content in milk. The term "micellar" refers to the structure of the casein protein, which forms micelles, small spherical structures that are dispersed in milk.
This unique structure leads to micellar casein taking longer to digest than whey protein, making it a great choice for those who want to deliver protein and amino acids to their body over an extended period of time.
