XBrain Micellar Casein low heat processed, and strained to keep the benefitial  compounds of the milk

Micellar casein is a whole protein supplement derived from milk. Casein is the major type of protein in milk, and it is an excellent source of amino acids used by many athletes and bodybuilders for its unique properties of maintaining a positive protein balance and an anabolic state for many hours after it is taken. However, what many people may not realize is that there are several different ways of preparing casein supplements, with some being much superior to others. XBrain’s micellar casein is not only natural, it is also prepared with extreme care, using low heat and filtration to preserve the beneficial compounds in milk, making it a truly superior product.

XBrain Micellar Casein without artificial sweetener!

It is likely that when you choose your supplements you don’t pay too much attention to how they are sweetened. This could be a serious mistake. You might have noticed that manufacturers try to make their supplements taste quite good. They also try to avoid adding sugar to their products, because everybody knows that refined sugar is bad for you. If you are an athlete or a body builder, and you are taking protein supplements such as micellar casein, you might well be on a low carbohydrate diet. However, what this means is that your supplement comes with a hefty helping of artificial sweetener, such as aspartame. This is seriously bad news and the supplement could be doing you more harm than good. If you are looking for a micellar casein supplement you should definitely choose XBrain’s 100% micellar casein. It is the only natural casein supplement without an artificial sweetener. Instead it is sweetened with stevia, which is actually good for you.

 XBrain 100% Micellar Casein Is produced in EU under the highest industry standards possible!

You are definitely doing the right thing by taking micellar casein for its protein-breakdown preventing anabolic properties. However, since micellar casein is a prepared from a whole-food, milk, you should ensure that the supplement you take is prepared from the best quality grass-fed milk. Many supplements will not state the revenue of the milk they start from to make their casein supplement. If your supplement doesn’t state that it is grass-fed, you can assume that it isn’t, and it was made from milk from intensely farmed cows, whose milk is of poorer nutritional quality. In contrast XBrain’s 100% micellar casein from the EU is the best in the world, since it is carefully prepared from grass-fed milk in the Netherlands and is Skal certified.

Micellar Casein  VS  whey protein Isolate

Micellar casein and whey are both the major forms of proteins found in milk. They are both complete proteins, meaning that they contain all ten of the essential amino acids that have to be obtained from the diet, and they will both provide the important anabolic branched chain amino acid leucine. Other than that, however, because of their very different rates of digestion, they have very different effects on the body. Despite their difference they both support an anabolic state, and, if taken together will work synergistically to increase lean muscle gain.

Micellar casein  is very beneficial to take in the evening

Micellar casein is the untreated version of casein protein, one of the two major types of protein in milk. When taken as a supplement it provides an excellent source of slow-release amino acids, which will maintain elevated levels of these essential nutrients for long periods of time. Studies show that micellar casein is particularly effective at preventing protein breakdown an maintaining an anabolic state. Because of this property, it is particularly beneficial to take in the evening.

100% Micellar Casein is very beneficial to take in the morning

Casein is one of the two major types of protein found in milk. It represents about 80% of proteins in cow milk. Because it has low solubility in water it exists in a micellar form, as a suspension of tiny particles called micelles and is often known as micellar casein. When taken as a supplement 100% micellar casein is a valuable source of slow release amino acids. It is a complete protein, meaning that it contains all the essential amino acids and it plays an important part in maintaining a positive protein balance and a long-term anabolic state by preventing muscle protein breakdown. 100% micellar casein is particularly beneficial when taken first thing in the morning.

How 100% Micellar Casein will increase your lean muscle mass

Protein supplements are taken to ensure a positive nitrogen balance and to stimulate protein synthesis for maximum lean muscle mass gain. Most supplements are designed to make the amino acids available to cells as soon as possible causing a big, but transient peak in protein synthesis. However, preventing muscle protein breakdown is just as important as stimulating new synthesis, and this is where 100% micellar casein comes in.
