Applied Nutrition - Casein

Casein Protein is derived not from whey, but directly from milk. Cow’s milk contains approximately 80% casein protein.

Unlike whey protein, casein is slow-digesting, taking around 6–8 hours for full absorption. That’s why it’s often referred to as an anti-catabolic protein.

Casein Protein & Muscle Growth:

During sleep, when the body lacks nutrients for 7–8 hours, it enters a catabolic state, where muscle tissue breaks down into amino acids. To prevent this, the best strategy is to consume a food that will supply amino acids steadily throughout the night — and that food is either cottage cheese or casein protein.

One serving of casein protein provides protein content equivalent to about 200g of cottage cheese. Casein creates a positive nitrogen balance, which is essential for muscle growth.

Casein Protein & Fat Burning:

Since casein digests slowly, the body spends more time processing it. After taking it, you’ll feel full for at least 5–6 hours, despite consuming only about 120 calories and 25g of protein.
This makes it ideal for appetite control and creating a calorie deficit, especially if your hunger is elevated.

Replacing a post-workout meal with casein can help maintain low blood sugar and insulin levels, which is another key factor for fat loss, while still delivering amino acids to help preserve muscle mass.

Research on Casein Protein Has Shown That It:

• Reduces triglyceride levels by 22%

• Lowers free radical levels

• Improves colon function

• Has antibacterial properties

• Supports immune system function
