Casein

• As a slow-digesting protein supplement: Casein protein powder is consumed after workouts or before bed to aid in muscle recovery and growth because of its ability to slowly release amino acids into the bloodstream over a longer period.
• In cheese production: Casein is a key component in cheese-making; rennet or acid is added to milk, causing the casein to coagulate and form curds, which are then processed into cheese.
• As a protein source in protein bars and snacks: Casein is added to protein bars and snack products to increase their protein content and provide a feeling of fullness.
• As an emulsifier and stabilizer in processed foods: Casein can be used as an emulsifier and stabilizer in various processed foods, such as sauces, ice cream, and coffee creamers, to improve texture and prevent separation.
• In non-dairy cheese alternatives: Modified forms of casein can be used to create non-dairy cheese alternatives mimicking the texture and melt of traditional cheeses.
• In baked goods: Casein can be added to baked goods to improve their texture and nutritional profile, often enhancing the crumb and moisture retention.

• Supports muscle growth and repair due to its high protein content.
• Provides a sustained release of amino acids, ideal for overnight recovery.
• May aid in weight management by promoting satiety and reducing appetite.
• Contributes to bone health with its calcium content.
• Supports a healthy immune system with essential amino acids and bioactive peptides.

Casein protein powder should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Ensure the container is tightly sealed after each use to prevent clumping and maintain its quality. Avoid storing it in areas with high humidity, such as the bathroom or near the stove. Properly stored, casein protein powder can last for up to 1-2 years.
