Stark Micellar Casein (casein)

Stark Micellar Casein 30 g serving — slow “night” protein for amino acid support

Stark Micellar Casein is a micellar casein (milk protein) that is often chosen for intake in the evening, before bedtime, to support the supply of amino acids during the night's rest.

According to the manufacturer's technology, casein is obtained from fresh skim pasteurized milk by ultrafiltration followed by low-temperature drying and spray drying - this is a gentle approach that helps preserve the natural properties of milk proteins.

The product is Kosher Certified KC# 4145772-1 and is positioned as free from GMOs, artificial stabilizers, or antibiotics.

Briefly about the product:

• 1 serving: 30 g (2 scoops).
• Nutritional value per 30 g: protein - 24 g; fat - 0.45 g; carbohydrates - 2 g.
• Energy value per 30 g: 108 kcal / 452 kJ.
• Options: 500 g or 1000 g.
• Flavors: unflavored, strawberry, vanilla cookie.
• Kosher certificate: KC# 4145772-1.

How it works:

• Slow release: Micellar casein can be digested gradually, supporting a longer supply of amino acids.
• Gastric coagulation: In the acidic environment of the stomach, casein can form a denser protein “clot” that can slow gastric emptying.
• Plasma amino acids: slower kinetics may contribute to a more even rise in blood amino acids over a longer period of time.
• Nighttime interval: Taking before bed can help maintain amino acid supply during extended periods without food.
• Protein balance: Slow delivery of amino acids can help maintain a positive protein balance during recovery periods.
• Satiety: Casein protein can help maintain a feeling of fullness in the evening as part of a diet.

The effect of the Stark Micellar Casein supplement

• Nighttime recovery: may help maintain protein metabolism during nighttime rest.
• Amino acid support: may promote a more even supply of amino acids over time.
• Muscle mass: May help maintain muscle mass as part of a training regimen and adequate protein intake.
• Post-workout: May be appropriate on evening training days as part of a recovery regimen.
• Diet control: can help maintain dietary discipline in the evening due to protein satiety.
• Daily protein: can be a convenient way to increase your total daily protein intake.

Benefits of the formula

• Gentle production: ultrafiltration and low-temperature drying are described as technologies that preserve the properties of milk protein.
• Simple composition: the unflavored version contains only micellar casein.
• Flavor choice: Strawberry and Vanilla Cookie options available.
• Certification: Kosher certificate KC# 4145772-1 is indicated.

Who might be interested?

• For those who want to add “nighttime” protein to their diet before bed.
• For people with an active lifestyle and regular training, when recovery is important.
• During periods when there is a long interval without food between dinner and breakfast.

Scientific data

1. “Slow” protein and longer amino acid response

Source: Boirie Y. et al., 1997 (PMID: 9405716).

In short: In the study, casein produced a longer-lasting amino acid response compared to “fast” proteins, which is associated with slower gastric emptying and slower amino acid uptake.

2. Protein intake before bed and nocturnal protein metabolism

Source: Groen B. et al., 2012 (PMID: 22330017).

In short: Protein taken just before bed has been shown to be digested and absorbed throughout the night, maintaining amino acid availability during overnight recovery.

3. A longer “before bed” course combined with strength training

Source: Snijders T. et al., 2015 (PMID: 25926415).

In short: The study considers the strategy of consuming protein before bed in conjunction with training as a practical approach to support muscle adaptations within the training process.
