Caseins

It is part of milk and it is present in some of its derivatives, like cheese. Casein is in charge of transporting calcium and phosphate in the body. Moreover, it contains essential amino acids that cannot be synthesized naturally by the body.

Casein is specially important for muscle growth and definition. Casein contains essential amino acids such as leucine, isoleucine, lysine, phenylalanine and valine. These elements play a crucial role in muscle growth, development and definition.

You can browse and purchase essential amino acids in order to stimulate your muscle growth.

Due to this, casein is one of the favorite dietary supplements for athletes.

The main properties of casein

The essential amino acids from casein support muscle growth while improving the quality of vegetable proteins and making it easier for our body to regenerate calcium.

The amino acids from casein have an extra effect on the serotonin neurotransmitter, which is very useful for those who follow a diet or who want to lose weight. This is due to the fact that serotonin suppresses the appetite, reducing food cravings while producing a slower digestion.

For all these things, casein is advised for:

• High performance sports
• Bodybuilding
• Vegetarian or low protein diets

How can we combine casein?

Casein is a protein that can be combined with whey, although we have to keep one thing in mind: a 2:1 whey + casein shake, will improve the final amino acid profile. Consequently, this will stimulate the MPS (muscle protein synthesis) while prolonging a proper hormone environment to build more muscle. 

You can purchase whey protein in HSN and combine it with casein.

Where can I buy casein?

Casein is one of the protein types available in HSN at the best price in the market. One of the products is Evocasein 2.0, high quality micellar casein with Digezyme®. From in-house production, it has more protein per serving and the milk comes from grass-fed cows.

Another product would be the Micellar Casein by HSNraw which is a slow digestion and absorption protein without sugar. Its main function consists of preventing the breakdown of muscle tissue. We suggest taking it at night, although you can also use it in the morning.
