Casein Protein

Casein or milk protein. Like whey protein, casein protein is another milk protein derivative. Since most of the protein (80%) in milk is casein, the terms "milk protein" and "casein protein" are used interchangeably. The main difference between whey and casein is that whey is absorbed in the digestive system quickly, while casein is absorbed slowly and steadily. Taste-wise they are similar. Both are more or less tasteless in their unflavored and unsweetened state. Casein protein can not be on labels like casein protein. It usually acts as calcium caseinate. Perfect before bedtime or snacks!
