Collection: Slow Releasing

What is slow-releasing protein?

Slow-releasing protein powder is the opposite of fast-digesting proteins like whey protein. Instead of getting absorbed quickly, slow-release protein sources—like micellar casein—take their time to break down in your body. This means they provide a continuous supply of amino acids to your muscles for several hours, which is useful if you're going without food for a while, like when you're asleep.

This steady release helps reduce muscle protein breakdown and supports muscle recovery and growth. If you're serious about maintaining or building muscle mass, incorporating a slow-digesting protein source into your diet can help.

Steady Supply of Protein

Thanks to their slower digestion rate, slow-release protein sources continue to feed your muscles the building blocks they need over a long 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 you get from slow-release proteins helps with 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 for long periods without food—like 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 repair mode. 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 especially useful 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 great for those post-workout windows when your body needs protein quickly, slow-release proteins are better suited when you need a gradual release of nutrients. 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 

Incorporting 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 like Burn Sleep Protein before bed is a great way to give your muscles a steady supply of nutrients throughout the night. This helps prevent muscle protein breakdown and supports muscle recovery while you sleep.
