When it comes to selling casein protein nobody in the world has better quality casein than Proteinfactory.com. Proteinfactory.com gets their casein protein from either western Europe, Australia, or New Zealand. It is important to know that casein protein is NOT made in the United States of America. All casein powders are imported from places like Europe and India. When looking to buy a good casein, the first thing you want to look for or know about is what country the casein is made in. Of course you want to avoid casein from India and Eastern Europe. These caseins have a harsh taste to them and are typically yellowish in color. Good quality casein protein will be a nice white color and have a mild milky taste to them.
Different quality casein protein powders.
Proteinfactory.com sells several different caseins. The first is our Heliogen casein. This is one of our customers favorite caseins because it is instantized with sunflower lecithin instead of soy lecithin. Soy lecithin is know to carry estrogenic like compounds. Thus by using sunflower lecithin you can avoid soy. Heliogen casein mixes great and tastes great. It is 90% protein and contains no fat or lactose. Next, is our Aussie Casein. This casein protein of course comes from Australia. This is a great casein to use because it is 95% protein. It is the second highest protein percentage powder in the world (Ultra Amino 97 is the highest).
Casein protein and how to use it.
Casein is a great protein to use because it is a slow digesting protein. Thus, it will provide an anti-catabolic effect. What is anti-catabolic? Anti-catabolic means that your body will be in a so-called "non-muscle wasting state". When you are catabolic, which occurs from exercising, stress, consuming caffeine and pre workout drinks with stimulants, not consuming adequate protein, illness, and over training, your body will actually break down muscle mass. To avoid this the consumption of dietary protein is needed. Casein will give the body a time released feeding of amino acids as opposed to whey protein which is digested rather quickly. Thus, use casein protein during the day and right before bedtime. Try mixing 50% whey isolate with 50% casein protein for an awesome custom formula using our protein lab.
