Casein Protein

Casein Protein is a milk-derived protein powder commonly used in sports nutrition and baking for slow-digesting protein delivery. It provides about 85g of protein per 100g, making it a concentrated source of amino acids suited to muscle repair and prolonged satiety. While it supplies bioavailable calcium and has a strong amino-acid profile typical of dairy proteins, it is a processed supplement rather than a whole food, so consider using it alongside a varied diet rich in minimally processed protein sources.
