Casein formulas from Scitec Nutrition

Protein formulas play a significant role in nutritional supplementation. The use of proteins as a nutritional supplement - both for athletes and for maintaining health - has long been practiced.

Scitec Nutrition offers different protein sources - both animal and vegetable proteins - which appear separately or mixed in the formulas.

Different proteins have different amino acid compositions and different digestion speeds, slower and faster. Casein is one of the two dominant protein components found in milk proteins. Casein is a complete protein, which means that it contains all nine essential amino acids that must be ingested through food as they are needed by the human body.

In addition to the excellent amino acid profile, its digestive and absorption properties make casein so popular. Casein digests and absorbs more slowly than whey protein, which is the other major component of milk proteins. This makes casein a perfect night sleep application or to “bridge” longer times between normal meals. Slower digestion is particularly useful during low calorie and body fat controlling diets, so we recommend casein as a protein supplement in “fat burning” combinations. The casein content from denatured micellar casein is in Scitec Nutrition Casein Complex as well as in Scitec Nutrition Night Pro 100% of Proteinanteils.

Some Scitec Nutrition protein blends contain casein (in various proportions). With the addition of extra casein, the digestibility and absorption of these formulas can be slowed down - making them more versatile. We offer the casein formulas in delicious creamy flavors.
