Dymatize Elite Casein Protein
by Dymatize
"25g micellar casein with 5.4g BCAAs — the slow-digesting protein for overnight muscle recovery and sustained amino acid delivery"
Overview
Dymatize Elite Casein provides 25g of micellar casein protein per serving with 5.4g BCAAs and 2.3g leucine. Micellar casein forms a gel in the stomach that digests slowly over 6-8 hours, providing a sustained release of amino acids — ideal for overnight recovery or between-meal protein. Dymatize is known for their Informed Choice certification and rigorous quality testing. The thick, pudding-like texture when mixed with less water makes it a satisfying nighttime snack that supports muscle protein synthesis during sleep.
