Q

Casein protein

A

It simply digests slower due to its complex interaction with stomach acid. It’s ideal for when a slow release is beneficial (like before bed or when you can’t eat for 10 hours). They provide your body w/ a steady flow of nutrients and limit the risk of muscle breakdown during fasting

Q

Plant proteins

A

Dairy free, serves a lot of the same purposes as animal based protein, but good for vegan and vegetarian folks.

If you can find a plant protein with a rice and pea blend that’s best cuz when used together it has the same essential amino acids found in whey

Animal based are casein, whey and egg
