At 90% protein content (unflavoured version) this is excellent value compared to other brands which are way over priced. Best taken before bed. Overall excellent product. 5 out of 5 for quality and value.

WHAT IS MICELLAR CASEIN?
BULK POWDERS™ Micellar Casein is a premium source of Micellar Casein, with a fantastic 85% protein content. The milk is ultra-filtered skimmed milk which has high protein and low lactose. Micellar Casein has an impressive amino acid profile, being particularly high in BCAAs.
Unlike whey, Micellar Casein is a slow-releasing protein. Being pH sensitive, casein coagulates in the acidic environment of the stomach, therefore taking longer to break down and release into the bloodstream. It is the best type of protein to consume pre bed, as during sleep your body will be in starvation mode and start to breakdown muscle. Micellar Casein is also popular during the day, when regular feeding is not possible.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can I add this powder to protein shakes?
Yes, Micellar Casein mixes well with other protein supplements such as whey protein and pea protein. Due to the fact it is derived from the curds of the milk, the appearance is a lot thicker than many other types of protein and therefore, you will need to carefully measure the amount of water and powder to ensure you get a smooth consistency. Blending Micellar Casein with Whey Protein will provide both slow and fast digesting proteins.
Can I take Micellar Casein if I am lactose intolerant?
Micellar Casein is derived from cow’s milk and therefore contains a small amount of naturally occurring lactose (approximately 0.4g per serving). If you are extremely intolerant to lactose, we would recommend consuming an alternative source of protein.
How does micellar casein contribute to muscle mass?
Micellar Casein is 100% Casein which is a main constituent of milk, making up almost 80% of the total protein content in cow’s milk. Like whey protein, it is high in protein and contains a range of essential amino acids – although the amino acid profiles varies considerably. This isn’t the only difference either – where whey protein is fast digesting in the gut, casein is a lot more viscous in profile and for this reason, has a lot slower release into the muscle. This making it perfect for a pre-bed supplement. Micellar Casein is produced using a low temperature, microfiltration process to ensure it is high in protein. This high protein content will contribute to a growth and maintenance of muscle mass and is perfect for supporting recovery.

Very promising so far
I’ve only taken this two or three times so far, after compound lifting sessions. Each time I’ve woken up feeling noticeably more recovered. Less sore, less hungry and overall better rested. Taste (chocolate) is really good, texture a little different but not unpleasant, still quite smooth and mixes very easy. Nutritional profile spot on. Impressed!

If only there was a 5 kg option…
Perfect on just about every aspect.
No problem with taste or mixability. For the unflavored option you can just pair it with some sweetener.
Only drawback are sizes available. Really wish there was a 5kg option available, just like the other products.

Bedtime/Dessert Recipe.
Mix Choc flavour with Skimmed Milk as directed in the Stainless Shaker and add a lean tablespoon of the 100% Peanut Butter…. just like the bar of chocolate that your not supposed to have! With the Milk your getting extra protein source in the shake. I shake, leave to stand a bit then shake again to let the peanut butter soften up and mix better. I don’t have this too often at the moment as I’m trying to reduce belly fat but its the perfect treat that you might be missing.

Best texture of any protein out there.
Perfect before bed or before long periods of no eating, this protein tastes amazing and also has a very nice mousse like texture which can be used for so many desserts. Very good value for money also. 5/5 in all aspects, highly recommend it.
