WHAT IS CASEIN? Casein is a slowly digesting protein and a complete source of protein which means it contains all the essential amino acids which is required for overall growth and development of the body. Casein releases amino acids slowly, casein forms a gel and thus digests slowly. The protein in cheese is mostly casein . Milk protein is a blend of  Casein protein and  Whey protein . There really is nothing super special about it, but it can be a cheaper way of ingesting  Whey  and  Casein protein when the difference is irrelevant for your goals since processing costs are less. Cow milk protein is 80% casein and 20% whey protein. CASEIN VS WHEY PROTEIN? Whey protein is a fast digesting protein and Casein is a slow digesting protein. Study suggested that, Acute ingestion of both Whey and Casein after exercise resulted in similar increases in muscle protein net balance , resulting in ne...

  WHAT IS WHEY PROTEIN? ME EXPLAINING WHEY PROTEIN Whey protein is a type of protein which is usually present in milk. Whey protein is known for its fast digesting and absorbing properties . Apart from that whey protein is a complete source of protein which means it has all the Essential Amino Acids which is needed for our growth and overall development of our body. Whey and  casein protein are both derived from milk. Whey protein powder is extremely popular due to its high digestibility and well-researched muscle-supporting benefits. Whey protein supplement /powder is usually taken by athletes and bodybuilders as a pre- or post-workout to enhance the Muscle Protein Synthesis rates. In short, it will help them to recover and build muscle faster. Whey protein is the water-soluble part of milk. As a supplement, it’s sold as dry powders with various levels of processing that affect how concentrated a source of protein they are a...

  WHAT IS CREATINE ? WHAT IS CREATINE? -According to Wikipedia Creatine  is an   o rganic compound  with the nominal formula (H 2 N)(HN)CN(CH 3 )CH 2 CO 2 H. Creatine is found in vertebrates where it facilitates recycling of  adenosine triphosphate  (ATP), the energy currency of the cell, primarily in muscle and brain tissue. Recycling is achieved by converting  adenosine diphosphate  (ADP) back to ATP via donation of phosphate groups.  WHAT IS CREATINE ? UNDERSTAND CREATINE IN SIMPLER WORDS It's primarily made in the liver and to a lesser extent in the kidneys and pancreas. It stores high-energy phosphate groups in the form of phosphocreatine which are donated to ADP, regenerating it to ATP, the primary energy carrier in the body. This role in energy production is particularly relevant under conditions of high energy demand such as intense physical or mental activity. Creat...
