True Protein Night85 uses a combination of both casein and whey protein in a specific 80:20 ratio designed for overnight protein restoration. Mixing these two proteins together ensures a complete slow release and easy digestion protein intake. Casein carries the same amino acid profile as whey protein, however each has a unique absorption rate. Casein is the slower acting form of protein, once it has been through an ultra-filtration process and created into a protein powder. Because casein works slower, the amino acids maintain and protect protein in the body for a longer period, making it the perfect source of protein to regulate protein levels overnight.
When the body works hard throughout the day whether it be through exercise or physical and mental exhaustion, the protein levels in our body deplete. Casein works to slow down the process of protein breakdown and therefore over a long period of time maintains and restores protein stores in the body. Whey quickly increases amino acids upon supplementation and boosts our protein synthesis process to jump start the functions of casein in the body.
Casein and whey protein work better together especially when the body is in a state of rest. Night85 uses whey to increase protein synthesis at a high rate and casein through a gradual state of release to repair and build protein stores.
