Kaged Kasein Micellar Casein Protein
by Kaged
"25g micellar casein with 5g BCAAs — the slow-digesting nighttime protein with Informed Sport certification for anti-catabolic recovery"
Overview
Kaged Kasein provides 25g of cold-processed micellar casein per serving — the slow-digesting protein fraction of milk that forms a gel in the stomach, providing a sustained 6-8 hour amino acid release. This makes micellar casein the ideal protein for nighttime consumption, preventing muscle protein breakdown during the overnight fast. The formula uses cold-processed micellar casein (not calcium caseinate, which is cheaper but lacks the slow-release gel-forming property). Each serving provides 5g naturally occurring BCAAs and 2.5g leucine. Informed Sport certified for banned substance testing.
