CASEINATE PROTEIN
Scientific Description


Caseinate Calcium is manufactured from fresh skim milk. It is readily dispersible, has a bland flavor, adds body and mouthfeel for milk-based drinks, and can be used in a variety of food, nutritional and pharmaceutical applications. Extremely high in the amino acid glutamine, higher than whey and soy isolate. Caseinate may help other proteins become more digestible to prolonging the time they spend in the intestinal tract.

Bodybuilding and Athletic Supplementation Description
The most commonly found protein in weight gain powders and meal replacement powders manufactured by supplement companies, but the least mentioned. Caseinate provides a good ratio of tyrosine and tryptophan amino's which increase brain neurotransmitters, which in turn can give one a boost.
Due to its delayed digestive properties, caseinate has a prolonged effect on the level of amino acids in the body. Unlike whey (which give a quick boost in amino's) caseinate provides a steady "flow" hours after supplementation. Thus, this leads to an anti-catabolic effect. Caseinate is a great protein to supplement with right before bed or if one knows they will not be eating a high protein meal during the day. Recommend dosage for this effect is at least 40grams of caseinate in a serving.
Yielding a high percentage of protein. Caseinate can be used to reach daily protein requirements.

Effect of a hypocaloric diet, increased protein intake and resistance training on lean mass gains and fat mass loss in overweight police officers.

Ann Nutr Metab 2000;44(1):21-9We compare the effects of a moderate hypocaloric, high-protein diet and resistance training, using two different protein supplements, versus hypocaloric diet alone on body compositional changes in overweight police officers.

One group (n = 10) was placed on a nonlipogenic, hypocaloric diet alone (80% of predicted needs). A second group (n = 14) was placed on the hypocaloric diet plus resistance exercise plus a high-protein intake (1.5 g/kg/day) using a casein protein hydrolysate. In the third group (n = 14) treatment was identical to the second, except for the use of a whey protein hydrolysate

CONCLUSION

This significant difference in body composition and strength is likely due to improved nitrogen retention and overall anticatabolic effects caused by the peptide components of the casein hydrolysate.
