Active Ingredients
Micellar Casein Protein
This is a very slow to absorb protein that is able to maintain high blood amino levels for up to 7 hours.
Calcium Caseinate Protein
Calcium caseinate releases bioactive peptides as it is slowly absorbed into the muscle cell.
This improves the metabolism as it repairs muscle fiber.
BCAAs
The three branch chain amino acids – valine, iso-leucine and leucine – quickly replenish cell protein while limiting the catabolic effects of cortisol (1).
Glutamine
Glutamine increases protein synthesis, aids in workout recovery and boost brain functioning (2).
Who Takes It?
Max’s Casein SR is taken by weight trainers who are looking to build or maintain muscle mass.
How to Take
Mix one 30 gram scoop of Max’s Casein SR with milk or water and take it 30 minutes before going to sleep.
