[/caption]What is it?
Casein is the dominant type of protein in cow’s milk, comprising 80% of the total. There are several dif erent types of caseins: alpha(s1), alpha(s2) beta, and kappa. These associate together to form large, complex structures known as micelles.
What is it supposed to do?
Casein is used primarily as an anti-catabolic that is, a protein to help limit muscle breakdown.
What does the real world have to say?
Bodybuilders have taken to the idea of using casein as a “bedtime snack” to limit muscle protein breakdown during sleep. Many also use it - alone or combined with whey - for general protein supplementation during the day. Most seem to feel that it’s a worthwhile addition, although it’s impossible to assess what ef ect it has on adding LBM.
