Reflex Micellar Casein

New Micellar Casein from Reflex Nutrition is an instant mixingtime-release protein product, it is made from fresh skimmed milk. It isnot to be confused with acid casein or caseinates which are made usingmanufacturing processes which can denature the protein. The proteinfound in Micellar Casein is un-denatured, providing approximately 80%Casein protein and 20% Whey protein.
In a ground breaking study(1), carried out by Dr Yves Boire, thedifferences in metabolic responses of Whey Protein and Casein wereindividually observed over a 7 hour period in 16 young & healthyvolunteers. The findings were very interesting, and have shown that bothCasein and Whey have very different applications when it comes tomaintaining and building muscle tissue.

The most important findings were:

i) Casein was found to inhibit muscle breakdown by 34% over a 7 hourperiod.

ii) Blood plasma amino acid concentrations remained significantly higherover a 7 hour period with casein compared to whey.

iii) Blood plasma amino acid concentrations dropped dramatically after 3hours in the group consuming whey.

iv) Although blood plasma levels dropped dramatically with Whey, the netincrease in protein synthesis was boosted by 68%.

The reason for Casein's ability to sustain such a lengthy release ofamino acids is because of its unique digestibility. It forms a gel inthe stomach, slowing the transit time in the digestive system, and thusslows the digestion of the protein.

These findings demonstrate casein as the perfect protein source when apositive nitrogen balance is preferred for more than 3 hours. e.g whenyou are sleeping, or a prolonged period during the day. Whereas wheyprotein is seen as the preferred protein source for increasing proteinsynthesis. e.g between meals and after workouts.

Micellar Casein, like all Reflex products, is made in the U.K to thehighest standards possible. Adhering to strict IS09001 procedures youare guaranteed a quality product every time.
