Micellar Casein

Much like other forms of casein protein, micellar casein protein is derived from milk. However, there is a huge difference between true micellar casein protein and regular casein protein. Micellar casein is the only protein to have been clinically proven to be anti-catabolic, also showcasing an amazing ability to keep blood amino acid levels elevated for up to an amazing 7 hours.

While micellar casein has risen in popularity, oftentimes real micellar casein is not used in protein powders today. It is incredibly expensive to produce, having been compared to catching a snowflake in New York and transporting it to Arizona without it melting. Sure it can be done, but it’s incredibly expensive. This high cost has deterred many supplement makers from using this incredible protein source.
