Klean Casein Protein - 23.2 oz

Douglas Laboratories Klean Casein Protein Powder Recovery and Muscle Breakdown Reduction Protein powers muscle and is essential for the health, well-being and performance of any athlete. Klean Casein Protein supplies 24 grams of high-quality protein from micellar casein in each serving. Casein is a slow digesting protein usually taken before bed to support recovery and reduce muscle breakdown while they sleep. In addition, casein contains naturally occurring electrolytes (sodium and potassium) to help replenish hydration lost during activity. Whether building or repairing muscle, athletes can turn to Klean Casein Protein for support.

The dietary protein provided by Klean Casein supplies essential amino acids, including branched-chain amino acids, that participate in many of the body’s metabolic and physiologic systems. Protein turnover in the body is continuous and can be substantial, and the rebuilding of skeletal muscle that is broken down during exercise is critically important to athletes. The dynamics of this constant degradation and re-synthesis demand a daily supply of dietary protein and their constituent amino acids. Essential or indispensable dietary amino acids must be supplied by the diet, as they are not synthesized by the body. Recent analyses of dietary protein requirements suggest that age and activity level may influence those requirements for optimum health. Some scientists have also suggested that increased protein synthesis follows prolonged exercise. Athletes competing in bodybuilding or endurance sports may require significantly more total protein from food and supplements combined, typically in ranges of 1.0-1.5 g protein/kg of body weight. As a slow digesting protein, casein has unique features that separate it from other protein products. Slow-digesting proteins provide a steadier release of amino acids into the bloodstream compared to fast-digesting proteins, such as whey isolate. Casein may thereby help maintain a positive nitrogen balance, support satiety and facilitate muscle recovery.
