Casein can also be used for periods when you take little or no food. In addition, it provides a satiated feeling for longer periods of time, delaying the urge to snack or eat.
Is Ekopura Casein Micellar?
Yes, Ekopura Casein is Micellar. Micellar Casein is the purest form of casein. In milk, casein is found in micelles. These are solid particles that float around in the milk. These particles clump together in the stomach which causes casein to acquire its special property of slow absorption by the body. As a result, the proteins and nutrients are absorbed by the body over a longer period of time (up to 7 hours).

Is the casein heated during production?
The organic milk is heated very briefly and minimally so that the proteins remain intact and are not damaged. Here the milk is heated for a short period of time and then held at 60ºC for about 15-20 seconds after which the milk is cooled again. As a result, our casein is bioactive and not denatured. Furthermore, only ultrafiltration takes place to ensure that the casein is completely clean.
