What is casein? 5 benefits
Despite the fact that protein supplements are not necessary to achieve your workout goals, they do help you achieve them faster. Many people therefore take the well-known whey protein shake right after a workout. Whey is very efficient but certainly not the only suitable form of protein.
Casein protein, like whey protein, comes from cow's milk, in our case organic cow's milk. It also contains a high protein content and is very effective. It has some great advantages over other protein powders, and we have listed them. The 5 biggest benefits of using casein.
Check out our casein products.
Slow protein
Many nutrition plans for athletes recommend consuming casein right before bed. They are slow proteins that release a balanced amount of amino acids throughout the night (for up to 7 hours). The amino acids help you in your muscle recovery and muscle building while you sleep (score!). You can also take a whey protein shake before bed, but it won't have the same effect as casein because your body absorbs the proteins from whey much faster. Casein therefore ensures that there is no protein deficiency in the body during the night.
It helps to lose weight
Our bodies have to work quite hard to absorb casein protein. It causes your body to have to work hard, thereby burning calories and increasing metabolism. In addition, casein also makes you feel satiated which is a big advantage because it reduces your risk of unnecessary snacking. On top of these factors, casein is also low in calories and has an extremely low fat content.
It helps build your muscle strength and reduces your recovery time
You would think that your muscles will grow right from the moment you hit the gym. However, nutrition and diet is the deciding factor here. This is because training and nutrition go hand in hand. Without proper nutrition, you will not achieve the desired results. Studies have shown that casein protein has a positive influence on muscle recovery, muscle growth and muscle maintenance. Casein is a particularly good supplement for this. After a workout, your muscles are damaged. Our body then uses protein and amino acids to repair the muscles, make them stronger and bigger than before.
It's good for your teeth!
As with other dairy products, casein could provide improved dental health. Studies have shown that casein has the potential to strengthen your teeth and protect them from erosion and damage thanks to the fact that there is calcium phosphate in casein.

It can be consumed in different ways
If you want to take the casein quickly then you can mix it with milk or water for a quick shake. If you are not a fan of shakes then you can also make different baked goods with casein. For example protein bars, muffins, cookies etc. for a healthy bite in the evening/before bed. You can make ''healthy'' versions of your favorite snacks that deliver protein and amino acids to your body for an extended period of time during the night. These will allow you to achieve your sports goals faster.
