Nutrition Supplies Practitioners Range contains only 100% Pure Calcium Caseinate (Slower digestion).

Nutrition Supplies Practitioners Range 100% Calcium Caseinate is produced entirely in New Zealand from Grass-fed dairy herds grazing on pastures that are managed without herbicides or pesticides. Unlike whey, calcium caseinate is derived from whole milk. It has naturally-occurring branched chain amino acids (BCAAs), low carbohydrate and fat, lactose (0.3%) and milk fat (1.1%). The major value of calcium caseinate is that it slows down amino acid absorption.

Pros: It gels in the stomach during digestion causing a slow, sustained increase in plasma amino acid levels, which can remain elevated for up to 7 hours longer than the increases caused by whey. Since the plasma amino acid levels remain elevated for a longer period of time, casein is also more anti-catabolic than whey due to suppressing skeletal muscle protein breakdown to a greater degree.

Calcium caseinate is also much less expensive (compared to micellar casein).

Cons: It only produces about half the increase in protein synthesis as what whey does, and is therefore not as anabolic. Casein also has a reduced concentration of BCAAs compared to whey and is not as bioavailable as whey. Calcium Caseinate is inferior to micellar Casein because it is denatured during processing.
