The main differences between the various protein fractions
are largely due to the nitrogen percentage, we can in fact speak of Caseins and
phosphoproteins which are extracted from cow's milk with about two thirds of
nitrogenous substances, in the milk mass they are also present in the form of
micelles, i.e. aggregated protein groups.
The nutritional contribution of caseins is remarkable, the
composition of amino acids is in fact complete and contain important
concentrations of Glutamine, Arginine and Phenylalanine, in higher percentages
than Whey Protein. An important factor to consider when choosing a Casein
supplement is slow digestion. This protein fraction, in fact, is very useful
for maintaining a constant supply of amino acids over time, if on the one hand,
therefore, Whey Proteins are used when there is the need to quickly supply
amino acids to the muscles., Caseins are instead indicated when it is
impossible to eat and therefore to supply amino acids for several hours,
according to the different formulation, in fact, the nourishment obtained from
Caseins is prolonged up to 8 hours after taking the supplement .
The method of use of Caseins must be organized according to
your training needs and above all according to the diet that you follow. They
can certainly be integrated in the morning, to ensure a prolonged release
throughout the day, or they are very suitable for nocturnal intake, i.e. to be
integrated in the evening before going to sleep and provide amino acids
gradually throughout the night to block the catabolism. As for the combination
with other elements with dietary regimes, caseins find a perfect synergy with
Bcaa amino acid pool, especially if taken post-workout to speed up recovery and
with L-Leucine or formulations of Leucine metabolites .
It is certainly a form of supplementation to be evaluated
and used as a prolonged support for muscle training and maintenance, in
definition or slimming regimes, for example, to preserve the muscle mass acquired,
Caseins are very suitable as the prolonged release satiates for many hours and
allows you to regulate hunger even if you do not have the opportunity to eat a
meal.
In the Nutrition Center Catalog you will find the formulations of Casein and Micellar Calcium Caseinate from the best companies. There are several formulations that can be used to achieve a sustained release of amino acids and to satiate. Some companies use caseins in combination with other protein sources, certainly together with whey protein and in other cases in combination with soy protein. In fact, these are differentiated release protein formulations that guarantee complete coverage with a complete release of amino acids, with rapid, medium and gradual assimilation.
