FAQs

Frequently asked

Why take casein before bed?
Casein's slow digestion provides a sustained release of amino acids throughout the night, which helps to prevent muscle protein breakdown and supports muscle repair while you sleep.
Is micellar casein better than whey protein for nighttime use?
Micellar casein is preferred for nighttime use due to its slower digestion rate, leading to a prolonged release of amino acids. Whey protein is faster-digesting and typically used post-workout.
Can micellar casein cause digestive issues?
Some individuals may experience mild gastrointestinal upset, such as bloating or gas, especially when first starting. This often subsides with continued use or by adjusting the dose.
