Calcium caseinate is a protein extracted from the insoluble portion of milk and purified in a chemical process. It has the ability to neutralize the active ingredient capsaicin, which causes the hot sensation found in peppers such as jalapenos and habaneros. Calcium caseinate is often used in powder form as a dietary supplement, particularly by bodybuilders, due to its tendency to release proteins at a slow, steady rate. The supplement is commonly ingested in conjunction with other types of proteins, as it has both pros and cons. Athletes, weightlifters and others who require extra protein added to their diets may find many potential benefits from ingesting this powdered supplement. It is perhaps most well-known for the ability to be digested slowly.Casein proteins are able to stay in the acidic environment of the stomach, thereby releasing helpful muscle-building amino acids for hours longer than other protein powders. Bodybuilders generally take calcium caseinate before bed and with breakfast in the morning for that reason. Due to the slow release of proteins, the caseinate can also make one feel full throughout the day, possibly eliminating the desire for unhealthy snacks or unnecessarily high-calorie meals. Proteins derived from fresh milk are often high in a particular type of amino acid called glutamic acid, essential to building muscles. Amino acids are fuel for a bodys metabolism and are created when the body breaks down proteins.Glutamic acids can help not only with feeding the muscles, but with disposing of waste and nitrogen as well. Some do find that calcium caseinate has downsides. The powder is sometimes considered blander, chalkier and thicker than other protein powders. An unpleasant taste or feeling can be left in the mouth after ingestion. Those who are used to the supplement, however, say they have found ways to mix caseinates with certain ingredients and combine it with the use of a blender to mask any unwanted taste or texture. Bodybuilders and others who should pay particular attention to protein intake sometimes find that the best way to use calcium caseinate may be in conjunction with whey proteins. Whey has the ability to synthesize twice as much protein and works faster than calcium caseinate.Many athletes believe that by using whey immediately before and after workouts along with caseinate proteins once or twice per day, appropriate protein levels may best be reached. It is generally a good idea for individuals to consult a doctor or nutritionist before introducing a strict supplement regimen into the diet. .How to Use:Dosing: Consume one scoop of 35 grams with water or your favorite beverage.Direction: Shaker: Add one heaping scoop to your shaker cup and then pour 10-12 oz of your preferred beverage.
