Are you sleeping on the anabolic powers of casein? 💪😴
.
The most common way to use casein is before bed, and these reported anabolic effects are not just bro science. Once ingested, the amino acids can remain in the blood for 6 - 8 hours, keeping your muscle cells nourished. This can keep you in an anabolic state for most of the night, preventing your body from needing to burn muscle tissue for energy
.
The overnight effects of casein were put to the test to determine its effectiveness (Res, P.T., et al., 2012). Participants of this study were placed into one of two groups. Both groups consumed a shake 30 minutes before bed, with one group ingesting a placebo shake and the other ingesting a shake containing casein. The study showed that the casein protein was digested and absorbed and resulted in a sustained increase in amino acid level throughout the night, leading to whole-body protein synthesis compared to the placebo group. Muscle protein synthesis rates, the key process behind muscle growth, were an impressive 22% higher in the casein protein group compared to the placebo group
