Proteins with slow release

From this point of view, proteins with slow release therefore perform a very important task, namely the supply and plastic support with amino acids and with a positive nitrogen balance during rest periods, such as at night or during the day, where you have no opportunity to eat for several hours. As for the elements and protein fractions that we find in slow-release protein formulations, casein, which comes from milk and egg proteins, is most often used in terms of sources of animal origin. In addition, slowly releasing proteins of plant origin have also been developed in recent times, in which we find various sources such as pea, rice, soy or hemp proteins.

Due to the property of slow digestion and gradual release of amino acids, it is recommended to incorporate slow-release proteins at certain times of the day, for example, when waking up with breakfast, to start the day with a full protein boost and achieve a positive result nitrogen balance for several hours or, as we have seen, in the evening before going to bed, to take advantage of the rest period and counteract catabolism. The most suitable slow-release proteins for this type of supplement are casein, protein or soy proteins.

Among the innovative slow release protein formulations, products that combine a full load of amino acids, such as glutamine, digestive enzymes, to absorb nutrients, Vitamins and minerals are often used throughout the day to improve, promote muscle regeneration to support well-being and health of the athlete.

The slowly releasing protein formulations often consist of different sources. Within the extensive Nutrition Center catalog, you can then select the best products based on your nutritional needs and based on specific training needs.

The new extended-release protein blends guarantee a constant supply of amino acids, which, as recent studies show, last up to 8 hours. In these mixtures we often find micellar caseins, calcium caseinate, which are also mixed with rapidly assimilated sources such as concentrated whey protein.
In the Nutrition Center catalog you will find slow-release proteins from the best brands, innovative new generation products and classic formulations suitable for any sports nutrition need.
