Casein Protein – Pro Casein Protein (500 g) Night Shake
Looking for casein as a slow-digesting casein protein for steady protein intake? GOPOWDR Pro Casein Protein (500 g) is micellar casein (micellar casein) known for gradual release and ideal as a casein shake before bed (night protein) or between meals. Each serving (30 g) provides around 23–24 g protein with low sugar. EU-approved claim: proteins contribute to the maintenance and growth of muscle mass.
What is Casein?
Casein is a milk protein making up about 80% of total protein in milk (the remaining ~20% is whey). Micellar casein is the least processed form and known for slow amino acid release over several hours. Many athletes choose a casein shake as night protein or between meals when longer periods without food occur.
EU-approved claim: proteins contribute to the maintenance and growth of muscle mass. Combine casein with a varied diet and sufficient rest for consistent progress.
