What are the benefits of Casein Protein?Updated a year ago

Casein is a “time-release” protein because of its slow absorption rate, meaning that it fuels your cells with amino acids at a lower level over an extended period of time. Casein protein is effective for muscle growth, providing a high amount of Leucine, which initiates muscle protein synthesis. Because it is slow digesting, taking Casein before bed can help you get the best out of the powder, as it can enhance your muscle growth, reduce your protein breakdown and fuel your recovery while you rest(Mawer, R. 2016).
