Casein Gold

What is casein?

Casein Gold is a protein supplement originating from milk. In contrast to whey protein, casein protein is digested and absorbed slowly. This makes casein protein ideal for prolonged periods in which you do not consume protein.

Casein shake before sleeping

Many athletes take casein protein as a final meal before sleeping. This is a perfect time as, during the night, you do not consume any protein for a longer period. As casein protein is slowly released to your muscles, you have a continuous supply of amino acids (the building blocks of proteins) to your muscles. Slow-release casein protein is also ideal at other times:

• In the morning to provide protein through the day
• Between meals
• When you miss a meal
• When you don’t eat a protein-rich meal within a 3-4 hour period
• During a long working day

Casein protein for muscle recovery and growth

To recover properly as an athlete, it is important that you give your body as constant a supply of proteins as possible, as these are the building blocks for your muscles. While you are exercising, tiny tears develop in your muscles. Ensuring that you have a sufficient and continuous supply of protein in your body promotes optimal muscle recovery and build-up. A daily intake of 1.6 to 1.8 g of protein per kg body weight is a good guideline and Casein Gold is ideal for this.

If your goal is muscle growth, protein is even more important. In combination with strength training, protein actually stimulates the growth of your muscles. For optimal muscle growth, the recommended daily dose is 1.8 to 2 g protein per kg of body weight.

Casein Gold Strawberry – Calcium caseinate

Casein Gold in the strawberry flavor contains casein in the form of calcium caseinate. This type of casein is combined with calcium, making it highly soluble in water. The result is a creamy shake with a delicious strawberry flavor.

Casein Gold Vanilla – Micellar casein

Casein Gold in the vanilla flavor contains micellar casein, the least processed and most natural form of casein. This type is absorbed even more slowly than calcium caseinate, making it ideal for use before bedtime. We are currently in a transition period, during which the strawberry flavor will also soon be switched to micellar casein.
