What is Heliogen Casein?

Heliogen Casein is the world's highest quality micellar casein protein. While most companies use calcium caseinate and sodium caseinate we use casein from fresh skimmed milk. The casein is made through a process called "Milk Prism" which was invented in 2010. The manufacturing technique helps the Heliogen casein maintain most of all its nutritional benefits naturally found in milk. Secondly our Heliogen cassein is imported from the Netherlands which means the cows are grass fed and hormone free.

The unique benefit of casein protein is that it is digested slowly in the human body. This protein clots together in an acidic environment such as the stomach. Due to this effect, the amino acids in casein are slowly released into the bloodstream which clearly explains why casein protein is defined as 'slow'.

The slow digestion of casein has even more benefits. Protein delivers nitrogen to the body. The faster the protein source, the more nitrogen will be excreted. In a "fast protein" source 66% of the nitrogen is utilized while in a "slow protein" 80% is utilized (studied by Dangin, 2001). These outcomes suggest casein protein can be an important anti-catabolic agent.
