Casein Protein
TL;DR
Casein is the predominant protein in milk (80%), known for its slow digestion and sustained amino acid release over 6-8 hours. It forms a gel (clot) in the stomach, providing a time-released delivery of amino acids.
Overview
Casein is the predominant protein in milk (80%), known for its slow digestion and sustained amino acid release over 6-8 hours. It forms a gel (clot) in the stomach, providing a time-released delivery of amino acids. Micellar casein is the least processed form; casein hydrolysate is pre-digested for faster absorption.

Interactions
synergistic. Whey provides a rapid aminoacidemia spike (fast absorption) while casein provides sustained amino acid delivery over 6-7 hours; combined they provide both immediate and sustained MPS
enhances. Casein is naturally rich in calcium (micellar casein contains ~850mg calcium per 100g protein); casein phosphopeptides also enhance calcium absorption in the gut
competes. Casein and its calcium content strongly inhibit non-heme iron absorption; casein phosphopeptides bind iron in the GI tract
