Apollon Nutrition 50/50-X Whey Isolate/Micellar Casein Protein: French Apple Tart

Apollon Nutrition’s 50/50-X Supplement Facts Page

 Whey Protein Isolate – 14g

Whey protein isolate is a high-quality protein supplement derived from milk during the cheese-making process that contains all nine essential amino acids. It undergoes more processing than whey protein concentrate, resulting in a higher protein content (typically 90% or more) and lower levels of fat, lactose, and carbohydrates. Whey protein isolate is quickly digested and absorbed by the body, making it popular among athletes and fitness enthusiasts for post-workout recovery. The 14g of whey protein here will yield half of the total protein amount, bringing a total of 12g per serving.

Micellar Casein – 14g

Micellar Casein is a slow-digesting protein also derived from milk, and it is known for its ability to provide a steady release of amino acids into the bloodstream over a prolonged period of time. It makes up about 80% of the protein in milk, with whey protein making up the remaining 20%. Micellar casein forms a gel-like substance in the stomach, which slows down its digestion and absorption. This provides a slow, sustained release of amino acids into the bloodstream, making it ideal for prolonged periods of fasting (e.g., overnight) or between meals. The 14g of casein protein here will yield the other half of the total protein amount, bringing a total of 12g per serving of casein.
