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’.

Take 30g in water, milk or fruit juice. Ideally consumed before bed and in between meals.

"Taste wise it isn't a fraction as nice as the whey concentrate. It is similar in taste, texture and smell to coffee whitener and it it can get a bit gloopy and thick when mixing. It also sets into a curd REALLY quickly so you have to gulp it down ASAP.
Quality wise I am sure it is tip top. I am just using it before bed, and maybe adding a wee bit to WC80 shakes throught the day so I can handle the downsides to it. It's not a real easy to drink protein but if you want a slow absorbe there is no other way really." |

| practical but not perfect |
"when mixing this it tastes awful to be honest, it gives a weird texture & can froth quite a bit, so i recommend that you only buy this if you have a strong stomach, flavouring doesn't seem to work all that well on it either. even though it doesnt need to be mentioned its very good value for money like everything else on this site.
i use this in conjunction with the scotish oats & a little whey protein to make a meal replacement, it works well apart from the fact that you have to neck it quite quick to make the taste last as short as possible, i find water thats quite cold can help with the taste a bit. i hope this helps anyone considering this, oh and a 75ml scoop measures out about 45gms" |
