THP Ultimate Casein Protein, 23.3g Slow-Release Protein for Overnight Recovery and Sustained Amino Acid Delivery
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 specifically suited to pre-bed consumption where the overnight fast can otherwise leave amino acid levels low for muscle protein synthesis. 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 peaks amino acid availability in 30-60 minutes - useful post-training, less useful 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 lifters don't need a casein - one daily whey shake covers MPS targets - but those running high-volume training or recovering from intensive blocks benefit from the overnight sustained delivery.
Ultimate Casein suits competitive lifters running high-volume training, trainees in committed muscle-gain phases who want overnight MPS support, anyone who finds whey shakes don't keep them satiated through to morning, and athletes recovering from intensive training blocks. Not the right pick as a post-training shake (whey is faster) or as a sole daily protein (casein-only daily intake isn't optimal). Contains milk.
