Calcium Caseinate: Sustained Amino Release, Overnight Recovery & Its Role in Maxine’s Burn
1. What Is Calcium Caseinate?
Calcium Caseinate is the calcium-salt form of casein protein derived from skim milk. Unlike micellar casein, it solubilizes more readily yet still forms a clot in the stomach—resulting in a slow, steady release of amino acids over 5–7 hours.
2. Clinically Demonstrated Benefits
2.1 Prolonged Muscle Protein Synthesis
Ingestion of caseinate yields a moderate but sustained rise in plasma amino acids, which supports muscle protein synthesis (MPS) for several hours post-meal—ideal for periods without food intake.
2.2 Enhanced Overnight Recovery
Recent trials confirm 45 g of casein protein before sleep elevates myofibrillar and mitochondrial protein synthesis overnight to the same extent as whey, ensuring continuous repair during sleep.
2.3 Appetite Control & Lean-Mass Preservation
Slow-digesting caseinate increases satiety hormones and attenuates overnight proteolysis, helping preserve lean mass in calorie-restricted diets.
3. Optimal Dosage & Timing
3.1 Recommended Serving
30–45 g before sleep or between meals.
3.2 Timing
- Pre-Sleep (30–60 min before bed): Maximizes overnight MPS.
- Between Meals: Provides a low-fat, sustained-release protein boost to curb hunger.
4. Safety & Side Effects
Calcium Caseinate is generally well tolerated. Individuals with dairy sensitivities may experience mild gastric discomfort. No adverse renal or metabolic effects have been reported at typical intakes.
