BioTech USA's casein products (like Micellar Casein and Casein Fusion) are slow-digesting protein powders formulated to provide a sustained release of amino acids. Because of their slow absorption, they are ideal for pre-bed or between-meal use to support muscle recovery and maintenance over hours. These products also include L‑glutamine to further aid muscle repair.

- Micellar Casein (or blended caseinate) as the primary protein source.
- High Protein Content: For the 908 g micellar casein, ~73% protein.
- Added L‑Glutamine: Helps with muscle recovery.
- Slow Absorption: Micellar casein digests slowly, releasing amino acids over several hours.

Benefits
- Sustained Muscle Nutrition: The slow digesting casein ensures a steady supply of amino acids over several hours, which is great for night-time recovery.
- Enhanced Muscle Recovery: With added L-glutamine, it supports muscle repair and reduces post-workout muscle breakdown.
- Muscle Maintenance During Fasting: Since it's slow-absorbing, it helps preserve lean muscle even when you’re not eating for a while (like overnight).
- Low Sugar Profile: Helps you meet your protein goals without adding too much sugar.
- Gluten-Free Formula: Makes it safer for those with gluten sensitivity.
- Supports Bone Health: Casein naturally contains calcium and phosphorus, which support bone strength (common benefit for micellar casein).
