Micellar Casein: Slow-Release Amino Delivery & Its Role in Maxine’s Burn
1. What Is Micellar Casein?
Micellar Casein is the natural, unaltered form of casein protein found in milk, assembled into micelles that coagulate in the stomach. This unique structure slows gastric emptying and provides a steady amino-acid release over 6–7 hours.
2. Clinically Demonstrated Benefits
2.1 Prolonged Protein Synthesis
Compared to whey, micellar casein maintains elevated plasma amino acids for longer—sustaining muscle protein synthesis (MPS) overnight and between meals.
2.2 Enhanced Overnight Recovery
Pre-sleep ingestion of 30–40 g micellar casein increases overnight MPS by 22% and improves morning muscle function compared to placebo.
2.3 Satiety & Lean-Mass Preservation
Slow-digesting casein reduces hunger and attenuates proteolysis—key in calorie-restricted phases to preserve lean muscle.
3. Optimal Dosage & Timing
3.1 Recommended Serving
30–40 g (≈1.5 scoops) before bedtime or between meals.
3.2 Timing
- Pre-Sleep (30–60 min before bed): Maximizes overnight repair.
- Between Meals: Delivers sustained amino supply to curb appetite.
4. Safety & Side Effects
Micellar Casein is well tolerated. Those with dairy allergies must avoid it. No adverse metabolic or renal effects have been reported at typical intake levels.
