Apollon Nutrition Casein, The Perfect Nighttime Protein

There are many options when it comes to protein powders. From Whey and Plant type protein powders to Casein protein, Apollon Nutrition has taken the normal options a step further in an attempt to make sure you have all your nutrition needs covered . While Casein isn’t brand new, it’s something that doesn’t get enough exposure because its often misunderstood. 

There are a lot of similarities between a Whey style protein and a Casein. Both proteins ensure that the damage inflicted on your muscles during a workout is repaired in a timely manner, they are both great for a quick replacement meal when needed and finally they both also make sure that blood plasma amino acids are replenished asap, but Casein does it over an extended period of time.

Now what is Casein? Casein is actually the major protein in milk that digests much, much slower than whey, typically over 7 hours. While Whey protein is ideal immediately pre-workout or post-workout to provide a rapid infusion of highly bioavailable protein to your muscles that stimulate muscle recovery and halt muscle breakdown, its greatest strength is also a limitation in that it is quickly absorbed by the body and is better suited around exercise. Where as Casein generally takes around 7 hours to fully digest and absorb. Therefore making this the perfect bedtime “snack”. 

As an added benefit, Apollon’s Casein delivers a thick, creamy texture in which can be utilized to make a protein ice cream of sorts or even a protein pudding depnding on your prefertations.
