What is BP Basics Calcium Caseinate Instantised?
Calcium Caseinate is a biologically-unique grade of protein derived from milk, and is low in fat, lactose and sodium. In addition, Calcium Caseinate boasts an impressive nutritional profile that's naturally rich in amino acids, protein and calcium. What is its use? Despite having the same high quality rating as traditional whey isolates, Calcium Caseinate is more slowly utilized based on its coagulating properties. This slow digestion process allows the body to absorb more of the amino acids and peptides, while offering a steady and prolonged supply of nitrogen to muscle tissues. The slow-release makes Calcium Caseinate a great choice of protein before bed or when one knows they may not be consuming a high protein meal/supplement for at least a few hours.
Our Calcium Caseinate is instantised for easy mixing.
How is it different to Whey?
Perhaps the most striking difference between whey and casein is the rate of digestion and absorption into the body. After consuming whey proteins there is a rapid rise in levels of blood amino acids which returns to baseline in approximately 2 hours. Casein, however, coagulates in the stomach, forming a curd, and is digested far more slowly, leading to a more moderate rise in blood amino acids that is sustained for up to 7 hours. So in terms of muscle hypertrophy, whey can be considered a 'fast protein' promoting protein synthesis to the extent that it is ‘anabolic’. Calcium Caseinate would however be classified as a ‘slow protein’, slowing the breakdown of protein to the extent that it is ‘anti-catabolic’.

| Good stuff! |
"It does mix really well, but you have to be quick. 400ml of water and any flavouring into your shaker first, then a 60ml scoop, lid on as fast as you can and shake like crazy! Leave it standing and it'll be a clumpy mess.
12 drops of strawberry makes it taste pleasant enough too." |

| Good bedtime supplement |
| "I've not tried whey powder, so I can make no comparison, but I have no complaints about the taste or texture of this supplement. I mix a 75 ml scoop with 300 ml of cold water in a shaker and add 12 drops of strawberry flavour. I don't have a cast-iron stomach but it has caused me no digestive problems either." |
