New Micellar Casein from Reflex Nutrition is an instant mixing
time-release protein product, it is made from fresh skimmed milk. It
is not to be confused with acid casein or caseinates which are made
using manufacturing processes which can denature the protein. The
protein found in Micellar Casein is un-denatured, providing
approximately 80% Casein protein and 20% Whey protein. In a ground
breaking study(1), carried out by Dr Yves Boire, the differences in
metabolic responses of Whey Protein and Casein were individually
observed over a 7 hour period in 16 young healthy volunteers. The
findings were very interesting, and have shown that both Casein and
Whey have very different applications when it comes to maintaining
and building muscle tissue.
The most important findings were: i) Casein was found to inhibit
muscle breakdown by 34% over a 7 hour period. ii) Blood plasma amino
acid concentrations remained significantly higher over a 7 hour
period with casein compared to whey. iii) Blood plasma amino acid
concentrations dropped dramatically after 3 hours in the group
consuming whey. iv) Although blood plasma levels dropped dramatically
with Whey, the net increase in protein synthesis was boosted by 68%.
The reason for Casein's ability to sustain such a lengthy release of
amino acids is because of its unique digestibility. It forms a gel in
the stomach, slowing the transit time in the digestive system, and
thus slows the digestion of the protein. These findings demonstrate
casein as the perfect protein source when a positive nitrogen balance
is preferred for more than 3 hours. e.g when you are sleeping, or a
prolonged period during the day. Whereas whey protein is seen as the
preferred protein source for increasing protein synthesis. e.g
between meals and after workouts.
Micellar Casein, like all Reflex products, is made in the U.K to
the highest standards possible. Adhering to strict IS09001 procedures
you are guaranteed a quality product every time. References 1. BOIRIE
