The Potential for Casein Protein in Overnight Recovery
06 Jan 2017 | FrieslandCampina DMV
FrieslandCampina DMV presented Excellion Calcium Caseinate S “Overnight recovery protein” at HIE 2016. Studies show that casein ingestion prior to sleep increases muscle mass and strength. With Excellion Calcium Caseinate S, containing >90% casein protein, customers can create a neutral tasting Recovery drink with an excellent stability and mouthfeel enabling a release of amino acids in the bloodstream over 7 hours. Benno van Mersbergen of FrieslandCampina DMV explains: “Athletes commonly take a shake with whey protein after exercise, which is very effective in increasing muscle mass and muscle recovery. Yet we found one moment that everybody is lacking protein: during the night we don’t eat. Whey is fast processed in the diet, which is why it is very popular in recovery today.”
