BioTechUSA Micellar Casein 908 g: 22 g Protein per 30 g Serving, 73% Protein
Size matters: micellar casein is a giant colloidal molecule and, because of its special structure, is absorbed slowly. A shake before bed or for long journeys: BioTechUSA Micellar Casein consists of micellar casein concentrate (85 to 90%) with added L-glutamine (5%). One serving (30 g) provides 22 g protein with 105 kcal, 0.9 g fat and 1.5 g sugars. The powder contains 73 g protein per 100 g, is gluten-free and palm oil-free, and comes in the flavours Chocolate, Strawberry and Vanilla. The 908 g tub makes 30 servings.
Why Micellar Casein is worth it
-
22 g protein per serving: 73 g protein per 100 g, serving 30 g = 1 level scoop
-
105 kcal per serving: 0.9 g fat, 2.0 g carbohydrates (of which 1.5 g sugars), 0.32 g salt
-
Micellar casein concentrate: 85 to 90% depending on flavour, plus 5% L-glutamine
-
BCAA content: 4286 mg BCAAs per serving (amino acid profile: 9063 mg essential amino acids)
-
Slow absorption: special structure of micellar casein, digestion takes several hours
-
3 flavours: Chocolate (with low-fat cocoa powder), Strawberry and Vanilla
-
30 servings: per 908 g tub, gluten-free, palm oil-free, no preservatives
Your advantage in training
-
Small gain in muscle mass: Across 49 studies with a total of 1,863 healthy adults, additional protein combined with strength training produced a small gain on average: around 0.3 kg of fat-free mass and around 2.5 kg more in the one-repetition maximum.
-
Milk protein in a comparison of studies: In a network meta-analysis of 116 studies (4,711 adults doing strength training), milk proteins such as casein and whey were among the types of protein that were effective for muscle mass and strength (moderate certainty of evidence).
-
22 g protein per serving: 30 g of powder provides 22 g protein (73 g per 100 g) with 105 kcal, 0.9 g fat and 1.5 g sugars.
-
30 servings, 3 flavours: Chocolate with low-fat cocoa powder, Strawberry and Vanilla; plus 5% L-glutamine and 4286 mg BCAAs per serving.
What the research says: The effects are small on average and apply in combination with regular strength training; from a total intake of around 1.6 g protein per kg of body weight per day, this analysis showed no further gain in fat-free mass. The network meta-analysis is based on indirect comparisons; the authors call for direct comparison studies.
What's behind it
The complex composition of micellar casein supplies the muscles with nutrients over the long term. Because digestion takes several hours, it is particularly suitable before bed or on long journeys.
What protein does
- Protein contributes to a growth in muscle mass.
- Protein contributes to the maintenance of muscle mass.
- Protein contributes to the maintenance of normal bones.
