Casein is a slow digesting protein resulting in a slower, more prolonged release of amino acids. This makes it a very beneficial protein to take especially during prolonged periods of fasting or before you go to sleep. How is this beneficial? Well, the truth is that muscle growth and repair doesn’t only happen in the hours following athletic exercise; it happens all day. When you’re in an anabolic state, resting, that’s when your body starts repairing itself. However, as you’re not generally consuming protein while you fast, the body doesn’t have as easy access to amino acids. Here is where Casein proteins become important as it’s digested and absorbed more slowly, releasing its nutrients into the bloodstream over time rather than all at once.

Unlike many popular casein protein powders in the market, Basix casein protein is made of Micellar Casein, which is considered the gold standard of casein proteins. Why? The slow absorbing property of micellar casein releases amino acids at a slower rate to feed your muscle cells in a steady stream over a longer period of time than other Casein Proteins, which makes it anti-catabolic and muscle-protecting proteins.

• Packed with 21 grams of slow digesting premium micellar casein protein for prolonged muscle support.
• Ideal for overnight sustained muscle growth and repair or for extended times of fasting.
• Provides the body with all of the amino acids necessary to help build
