Reflex Nutrition Micellar Casein 909gm - Banana & Custard

Description

Product Description Protein is one of the most important nutrients for anyone involved in intense exercise and of particular importance for anyone looking to gain lean muscle mass. At its simplest level, muscle tissue is made of protein and every time strenuous exercise is undertaken, micro damage is caused to the muscle tissue. To aid the repair of muscle tissue, protein is required, however many people do not intake the required amount to aid the training. It is estimated that those involved in intense exercise may require between 1.5 g to 2 g of protein per kilo of body weight per day. Eating this amount of protein on a daily basis can be difficult and this is where protein supplements play a part. It has long been known that there are benefits related to eating protein at three to four hour intervals to aid optimum recovery. However, there are times during the day and evening where having access to protein, whether from food or nutritional supplements, may not be possible. Micellar Casein is a form of milk protein, which has been proven to breakdown slowly over a longer period of time when compared to other protein supplements such as whey protein. The benefit is that the protein can take up to seven hours to completely digest and be utilised, making Micellar Casein the perfect protein product to use when you cannot have access to protein for an extended period of time. Because of these benefits, many athletes will use Micellar Casein as a pre-bed protein source to maintain a state of muscle growth whilst asleep.Research carried out comparing the metabolic responses of Micellar Casein to whey protein highlighted the following:Casein was found to inhibit muscle breakdown by 34 per cent over a seven hour period Blood plasma amino acid concentrations remained significantly higher over a seven hour period with casein compared to wheyBlood plasma amino acid concentrations dropped dramatically after three hours in the group consuming wheyAlthough blood plasma levels dropped dramatically with whey, the net increase in protein synthesis was boosted by 68 per centMicellar Casein from Reflex Nutrition is not to be confused with acid casein or caseinates which are made using manufacturing processes which can denature the protein rendering it less valuable from a nutritional perspective. All Reflex protein products are tested in their inhouse protein testing facility and the results are published on their website. They also have batches randomly tested by independent, ISO accredited laboratories.
