THP Ultimate Casein Protein, 23.3g Slow-Release Protein for an Evening Shake
The Health Project Ultimate Casein Protein is a slow-release pre-bed protein built for trainees who want sustained amino acid delivery overnight. Each 30g serving delivers 23.3g of protein at 106 calories, with 0.3g of fat, 2.3g of carbohydrates and 2.3g of sugars. The 2kg tub provides 67 servings.
The protein source is 100% micellar casein - the slower-digesting fraction of milk protein that forms a gel in the stomach and releases amino acids over a 4-6 hour window. This makes it suited to an evening shake before bed. The 23.3g protein dose sits in the standard daily protein-shake range, and the 106 calorie macro keeps the pre-bed shake from being a meal-replacement load.
What separates casein from whey is the digestion speed. Whey digests quickly, so it suits daytime use better than overnight. Casein releases amino acids steadily for several hours, making it the textbook pre-bed protein for trainees who can't or don't want to wake for a middle-of-the-night protein meal. Most people only need one daily protein shake, and casein is an option for those who want a slower-digesting one in the evening.
Ultimate Casein suits anyone who wants a slow-digesting evening shake and anyone who finds whey shakes don't keep them full through to morning. Not the right pick as a quick daytime shake (whey digests faster) or as your only daily protein. Contains milk.
