NATIVE MICELLAR CASEIN 900 g

The incredible power of milk

The micelle is the colloidal form in which casein occurs. The micelles are the physical agglomerate constituting the base of casein and contain the forms of the amino acid chains intact in all their structures. Based on chemical reactions, the micelles that are released into the milk, in addition to proteins, also contain minerals, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium and sodium. The micelles remain intact in their constitution until the protein is subjected to aggressive processing. In many cases, after too much “traumatic” processing, only calcium caseinate remains (low quality and low digestibility). Micellar casein has unique characteristics: slow release, high digestibility, full amino acid spectrum and lower insulin index than whey proteins.

Native Micellar Casein is a dietary supplement for athletes made up exclusively of micellar casein. The product, already naturally rich in essential amino acids, has been enriched with Bcaa and L-Tryptophan (Amino-Balance ™) and with the enzymes lactase and bromelain to improve digestibility.
Native Micellar Casein has a very high protein content (85%) and a very low content of carbohydrates and fats with a composition designed to offer a prolonged amino acid release for several hours.

What does Native Micellar Casein mean?

There are several forms of casein protein. Usually on the market there are calcium caseinates, hydrolyzed casein proteins and micellar casein, each with different characteristics from each other. A micellar casein is in its native form when the protein has been obtained through the following processes:

• Ultrafiltration process: To separate micellar casein from whey proteins and lactose. It is a process that is carried out by pressure, making the protein pass through a porous membrane.
• Microfiltration process: It is a low temperature filtering process using ceramic filters; eliminates the lipid component that ultrafiltration fails to separate.

These are processes carried out at low temperatures and in the absence of chemicals. This type of processing allows to keep intact all the biological functions related to caseins.

& gt; Micellar Casein: the “anticatabolic” protein

Micellar proteins tend to absorb a lot of water creating a gel in the stomach. Amino acids are extracted from this gel very slowly and absorption can take up to 8 hours. Precisely for this slowness of absorption, micellar casein is considered an anti-catabolic protein par excellence. In fact, the slower digestion rate allows casein proteins to promote muscle growth by blocking protein catabolism.

Furthermore, micellar caseins are naturally rich in glutamine, an amino acid that is extremely effective in inhibiting protein catabolism that occurs especially during the second phase of sleep.

Casein Proteins: When to take them?

Before going to bed to reduce muscle breakdown or at breakfast to provide a steady stream of amino acids in the morning.

& gt; Why take Micellar Casein before going to sleep?

The night’s rest is in effect a period of fasting.
Failure to take protein for so many hours leads to the destruction of muscle tissues. Before going to bed, it is therefore useful to take casein protein powders, especially those based on micellar casein, whose slow supply of amino acids can last up to 8 hours. In this way the body will not need to use muscle proteins and will transform casein amino acids that are not burned as a source of energy that will fuel muscle growth.

By virtue of its slow digestion, casein can help compensate for the muscle catabolism that occurs during nighttime sleep and when meals are too far apart. them.

Lactase-Enzyme ™

Micellar proteins, compared to whey proteins, have a richer presence of lactose which could cause difficulties Net Integratori’s effort was to select a raw material which basically had a relatively low presence of lactose, but then eliminated the problem by creating a product based on Lactase and Bromelain.

Bromelain aims to improve protein digestion in general, while Lactase provides for the digestion of residual lactose by dividing it into Galactose and Glucose (this process takes place in the intestine and both enzymes do not interfere with the bloodstream).

lactose is physiologically present in proteins that have undergone minimal processing and that approach the native form of the product. Many adults have problems with digesting lactose (due to lactase deficiency) and even small amounts can give rise to problems ranging from intestinal disorder to dysentery. The addition of these enzymes makes even simple swelling or water retention phenomena practically absent; phenomena that a lactose intolerance can easily give.

& gt; What is the function of the Amino-Balance ™?

Micellar casein is rich in some essential amino acids and glutamine, but lacking in some essential amino acids for muscle growth. In order to create an anabolic environment, Net Integratori laboratories have balanced the formula with Amino-Balance ™, an exclusive blend of amino acids based on Bcaa and L-Tryptophan.
