Whey Versus Casein Protein Powder
Whey and Casein protein powders both have benefits and can be part of a healthy diet and workout regime. Understanding the difference between the two can help one decide which suits his/her lifestyle and is the most beneficial, and at what times.
Casein powder and whey powder are typically used to build muscle, and most athletes use them as part of their daily protein intake. Casein powder contains a protein found in milk, and is digested more slowly than whey or soy protein. As a result, the body can absorb the protein more efficiently. It is a good choice to consume before bed, and can also be used between meals when they are spaced further apart. It can take up to seven hours to be fully digested and, because of this, guarantees a slow release of protein that helps to refresh and replenish muscles after sleep.
Both powders have a very high glutamine content. Glutamine is an amino acid that assists in preserving muscle mass and helps the immune system function well during everyday activities. Casein powder is occasionally added to milk, baby foods, as well as other diet elements because of its slow release factor. It also has higher calcium content than other protein powders. Whey powder is derived from milk and includes all amino acids as well and has a slightly higher overall biological value than casein powder.
Whey powder is helpful in building lean muscle mass, so it is usually used as a supplement immediately before or after a workout routine. Whey powder is digested more quickly and can give muscles the necessary proteins for almost immediate replenishment.
Sometimes, Casein powder is used in whey protein, MRPs and bulking powders because it is cheaper to process and easier to manufacture. In general, aside from whey having a slightly superior amino acid profile, casein does much the same work as whey powder with the exception of its slower rate of digestion – making it a strong choice for using before bed to ensure a constant release of protein into the body through the night. Supplementing a diet with protein supplements aids in the growth and recovery of muscle, and by using a balance of whey or casein powder, one can ensure that the body has a constant stream of protein availability.
