Collection: Casein Protein Powder

Maxine’s Burn Casein Protein: your slow-release superstar for overnight recovery

If you’re lifting, training, or simply trying to stay strong and energised, you already know protein matters. But not all protein works the same way. When you want something that keeps delivering for several hours, casein protein powder is your go-to. It’s the slow-digesting, steady-release option that feeds your muscles while you rest, especially overnight.

Unlike fast-absorbing whey protein, casein protein takes its time. It forms a natural gel-like substance in your stomach, allowing a gradual release of essential amino acids that support muscle repair, prevent muscle breakdown and keep your body nourished for long periods. It’s perfect for bedtime, long gaps between meals, or anyone who wants consistent muscle support around the clock.

If you’re ready to boost your strength, support overnight muscle recovery and wake up feeling refreshed, now’s the time to add casein powder to your routine.

What is casein protein?

Casein is a milk protein, making up around 80% of the protein found in cow’s milk (the other 20% is whey). What makes it unique is how it behaves during digestion. Casein thickens and forms a gel-like substance, which slows down the release of amino acids into your bloodstream. This gives your body sustained nourishment, ideal for:

• Preventing muscle breakdown
• Supporting muscle repair over long periods
• Feeding your muscles steadily throughout the night
• Staying fuller between meals.

Micellar casein protein is the purest, least processed form, and it delivers that perfect slow-release effect your body loves while you sleep. If you’re consuming casein protein before bed, you’re setting yourself up for better recovery and less muscle soreness the next morning.

Why use casein protein powder?

Casein protein isn’t just for bodybuilders or elite athletes; it’s for anyone who wants stronger muscles, better recovery and more consistent energy.

1. Slow-release protein for overnight recovery

Casein is the ultimate slow-release protein. Because it digests gradually, you get a steady release of amino acids for hours, perfect for overnight muscle recovery, muscle support and preserving lean muscle mass.

2. Helps with weight loss and appetite control

Casein digests slowly, keeping you fuller for longer. If you’re trying to manage weight, avoid overeating, or curb late-night snacking, casein can help.

3. Supports lean muscle growth

While whey protein is great immediately after training, casein is ideal for building muscle throughout the night. It supports muscle protein synthesis, reduces muscle breakdown and promotes lean muscle development.

4. Great source of calcium

Because it comes from milk, casein naturally contains calcium, which is great for bones, metabolism and overall health.

5. Perfect for fitness enthusiasts

Whether you’re new to training or already smashing heavy sets, casein offers consistent nourishment that keeps you progressing between sessions.

Casein protein vs whey protein

Casein and whey protein come from the same place (milk) but they behave very differently in your body.

• Whey protein: fast-digesting, best taken after workouts for immediate muscle repair.
• Casein protein: slow-digesting, best taken before bed or between meals for long-term support.

That's why many women choose a combination of casein and whey protein. Whey helps with recovery after training, while casein facilitates the slow, steady repair during the night. Together, casein and whey make a powerful duo for women wanting balanced support all day and night.
