Applied Nutrition Casein Protein 900g

Applied Nutrition 100% Casein is a micellar casein protein developed for slower digestion than typical whey-based shakes. The formula uses micellar casein as its primary protein source and is designed to provide amino acids over an extended period.

This makes it especially suited to pre-bed use, although it can also be taken between meals when you want a convenient way to increase daily protein intake.

• Slow-release protein: Micellar casein digests gradually, making it well suited to longer periods between meals.
• High protein intake: A 30g serving supplies approximately 25g of protein to support the maintenance and growth of muscle mass.
• Low fat: Each serving contains less than 1g of fat, making it easy to fit into a calorie-controlled diet.
• Low carbohydrate: Around 1g of carbohydrate per serving keeps the focus firmly on protein.
• Added digestive support: The formula includes DigeZyme digestive enzymes and LactoSpore.
• Pre-bed friendly: The thicker texture and sustained-release protein profile make it particularly useful as an evening shake.

The core protein source is micellar casein, which makes up approximately 96% of the formula on applicable flavour labels. Additional ingredients can include flavouring, xanthan gum, LactoSpore, DigeZyme digestive enzymes, salt and sweeteners including sucralose and steviol glycosides. Colouring ingredients may vary by flavour.

Micellar casein is derived from milk, so this product contains milk. Ingredient details can vary slightly by flavour, so use the selected flavour label when checking allergens or specific ingredients.

Casein naturally supplies a complete range of amino acids, including branched-chain amino acids. Applied Nutrition also highlights 4.3g of naturally occurring glutamic acid per 30g serving.

Protein supports the growth and maintenance of muscle mass. Because micellar casein is digested more slowly than many other protein sources, it is useful when you want a sustained protein source rather than a fast-digesting shake.

That slower digestion makes casein particularly practical before sleep, when there may be several hours before your next meal.

Mix 2 scoops, approximately 30g, with 500ml of water or milk and shake thoroughly. Using less liquid produces a thicker shake.

Applied Nutrition recommends taking it before bedtime, although it can also be used between meals. Scoops are estimates, so weighing the serving is the most accurate way to measure 30g.

• Before bed: A practical way to add slow-release protein to an evening nutrition routine.
• Between meals: Helps increase daily protein intake when your next meal is several hours away.
• Strength training: Protein supports the maintenance and growth of muscle mass alongside resistance exercise.
• Calorie-controlled diets: High protein with relatively low fat and carbohydrate makes it easy to track within a structured diet.

Casein naturally mixes to a thicker consistency than many whey protein shakes. Adjust the amount of water or milk depending on whether you prefer a lighter shake or a denser, more dessert-like texture.

Flavour-specific nutrition and ingredients may differ slightly, while the core micellar casein format remains consistent across the range.

100% Casein can be used alongside a daytime whey protein where a faster-digesting shake is preferred, while casein can cover evening or longer-gap protein needs. It can also be paired with creatine monohydrate as part of a strength-focused nutrition routine when each product is used according to its own directions.

This product contains milk and is described by Applied Nutrition as gluten-free. Store in a cool, dry place and keep away from children.

It should not replace a varied diet and healthy lifestyle. Do not exceed the suggested use. Anyone under 18, pregnant, nursing, taking medication or managing a known or suspected medical condition should seek advice from a qualified health professional before use.
