BTW...Micellar is slow digesting protein. But how slow? Is it like eating chicken or beef? Does the body digest it that slow?

Real food will be digested slowier

 

[Smokescreen]

Slower then Casein???? Is this a fact????

"Real food" will definitely digest more slowly than whey. I'm not so sure about micellar casein. A few things came out of the boire study.

1. Whey emptied within and hour and amino levels rose and fell off within two hours.
2. In this whey only meal 40% of the aminos were metabolized in the liver for energy.
3. Micellar casein elevated amino acid levels for up to seven hours and demonstrated a strong anti-catabolic effect.

Micellar casein is slower digesting for two reasons.
1. It formed a gel in the stomach slowing gastric emptying. Beef will leave the stomach in 1-2 hours.
2. Casomorphins in the micellar casein slow intestinal motility. It's so effective at slowing motility that it will stop diahrea. The longer the protein stays in the intestine the more will be absorbed.

I read the exact same thing somewhere on the web last night. Dont remember where I got it from though.

Why os casein so expensive (compared to whey)

 

[Tom Treutlein]

'cuz it's better and the companies want to make their profit margins that much higher, just to piss you off. Get 'im, Anthrax.

 

[Smokescreen]

What? casein is cheaper. But what whey are you talking about? CFM whey? Iso Whey? Whey concentrate?

 

[anthrax]

Casein in bulk (proteinfactory) is cheaper than whey

but

Brand name casein is more expensice than any whey (because the volume of whey sold are 10 times bigger than thjose of casein)

Maybe but casein costs nothing, just nothing
Far less than whey

Yeah , I had the understanding that when you ferment milk in order to pull the protein out of it , you get 80% casein and 20% whey...
