Casein

“LTP may be effective in BP reduction, especially in Japanese individuals; however sub-group, meta-regression analyses and statistically significant publication biases suggest inconsistencies.”

“A summary of the main findings shows limited to no effects on metabolism or appetite when ingesting 24-48 g of casein 30 min before sleep, but data are limited”

“Therefore, casein protein provides your body with a slow, steady release of amino acids, making it ideal before fasting situations, such as sleep.”

“Personally, I prefer whey. I find casein protein less palatable, and it doesn’t mix as well.”

“In fact, slow digestion may be an asset during other times of the day. However, after exercise, slow proteins might not be best.”

“Casein is one of the most extreme examples of such “slow proteins,” but generally speaking, solid protein sources will be absorbed more slowly than protein powders and shakes”

“Casein has me farting all night. I bought it because I was told it would make thicker shakes.”

“I really feel casein before bedtime improves my sleep drastically! (I have a bucket of micellar casein powder)”

“That would be an allergic reaction, and highly unlikely. My son had a milk protein allergy as an infant and the solution was a casein based baby formula.”
