Micellar Casein is undenatured casein, as opposed to acid casein, rennet casein, or caseinates.
In the search for “the ideal protein” a significant study was done by Dr. Yves Boire. In this experiment labeled leucine was infused into lactating cows and its path was followed after it
was separated into labeled casein and labeled whey protein and fed to humans.
Micellar undenatured casein was utilized in the study.
THE RESULTS OF THE STUDY UTILIZING MICELLAR
CASEIN WERE:
· MICELLAR Casein was found to be the only
protein that was anti-catabolic and
prevented muscle breakdown.
Whole body protein breakdown
was inhibited 34% after casein
ingestion but not after whey protein
ingestion.
· Whey protein produced a dramatic
but short increase in plasma amino
acids.
· MICELLAR Casein produced a prolonged
plateau of increased plasma amino
acids, thus producing the best
nitrogen retention and utilization.
BIOACTIVE MILK PEPTIDES - According to
Batcheldor, Micellar Casein has additional added
value in that it produces a higher content of
bioactive milk peptides such as glycomacropeptides and casomorphins. These are substances which affect crucial physiological functions and modulate many regulatory processes.
Glycomacropeptides are antimicrobial and also
help control digestion. Casomorphins not only act
as analgesics but have ability to control diarrhea.
Higher levels of these bioactive milk peptides may
reap a multitude of additional physiologic benefits.
We use MC in our
Performance Pudding and
Performance Pudding Nite-Time for these very reasons and many more.
MC is the king of night time proteins IMHO. ;-)
