Collection: Slow-Releasing Protein

Support your fitness goals while you sleep with our slow-releasing protein powder!

Looking to boost your fitness goals, reduce muscle breakdown, and promote lean muscle growth while you sleep? Slow-release protein powder could be your new best friend! Unlike whey protein isolate and other fast-digesting proteins, slow-release protein is designed to digest slowly and deliver a steady stream of nutrients over an extended period, keeping your muscles nourished and supporting recovery while you're not eating.

At Maxine's Burn, we’ve got two tasty slow-release protein options: Burn Sleep Protein and Burn Dessert Mousse. Whether you're after a night-time protein fix or a delicious treat, both can help you build or maintain muscle, promote weight loss, and stay on track with your fitness goals while keeping things simple and tasty.

What is slow-releasing protein?

Slow-releasing protein powder is the opposite of fast-digesting proteins like whey protein. Instead of being absorbed quickly, slow-release protein sources take their time to break down in the body. This means they provide a continuous supply of amino acids to your muscles for several hours, which is beneficial if you're fasting, e.g. during sleep.

This steady release helps reduce protein breakdown, supporting muscle recovery and growth. If you're serious about maintaining or building muscle mass, incorporating this complete protein source into your diet can be beneficial (even if you’re working towards a calorie deficit).

Steady Supply of Protein

Thanks to their slower digestion rate, slow-release protein sources continue to provide your muscles with the building blocks they need over an extended period. 

So, if you take one before bed, your body can continue repairing and building muscle while you sleep. This helps prevent muscle protein breakdown and keeps you in an anti-catabolic state, which is key for keeping those hard-earned muscles.

Promotes Muscle Recovery & Growth

The slow, steady stream of nutrients provided by slow-release proteins aids in muscle recovery and growth. Whether you're recovering after a tough workout or simply looking to maintain your gains, these proteins ensure your muscles have what they need for muscle repair over an extended time.

Prevents Muscle Breakdown

When your body goes without food for long periods—such as overnight—it can start breaking down muscle tissue. Consuming a slow-release protein before bed helps prevent this by providing your muscles with the amino acids they need to stay in a state of repair. This is particularly helpful if you're trying to maintain or grow muscle.

Tasty & Convenient

Our slow-release protein powders are not only effective but also easy to incorporate into your daily routine. Whether you’re mixing up a shake before bed or enjoying a protein-packed dessert, Maxine’s Burn offers a convenient and delicious way to get your protein intake on track.

Why use slow-releasing protein?

If you're someone who likes to eat fewer, larger meals, or you're looking for something to help support muscle recovery while you sleep, slow-release protein powders are a great choice. They’re beneficial for anyone who has long breaks between meals because they help provide a sustained supply of protein that keeps working long after you’ve finished your last meal.

Unlike fast-digesting whey protein, which is ideal for those post-workout windows when your body needs protein quickly, slow-release proteins are better suited for situations where a gradual release of nutrients is needed. This helps keep your muscles nourished and supports continuous muscle protein synthesis—a fancy way of saying your muscles are repairing and growing.

How to use slow-releasing protein as part of a healthy lifestyle 

Incorporating slow-release proteins into your routine is easy! Here are a few key times to consider adding them to your diet:

• Before Bed: Taking a slow-release protein supplement like Burn Sleep Protein before bed is a great way to provide your muscles with a steady supply of nutrients throughout the night. This helps prevent muscle protein breakdown and supports muscle recovery while you sleep.
• Between Meals: If you have long gaps between meals, adding a serving of Burn Dessert Mousse can help keep your body fueled with the protein it needs to prevent muscle breakdown. It’s a convenient and tasty way to ensure you’re hitting your protein intake goals without constantly snacking.
• Post-Workout: While fast-acting proteins are ideal for post-workout recovery, combining them with a slow-release protein, such as micellar casein, can ensure your muscles receive an immediate and extended supply of protein. This combination helps to maximise recovery and muscle growth.
