Nutrend
Micellar Casein 2250 g

Nutrend Micellar Casein is a casein protein made from 91% milk protein isolate with a 75% micellar casein content. It is called a night-time protein because casein is digested and absorbed significantly more slowly than whey – amino acids are released gradually over several hours. This prevents overnight muscle catabolism and supports anabolic processes during sleep, making it an ideal choice taken just before bed.

Nutrend Micellar Casein is recommended before bed or during extended gaps between meals. The ideal time is 30–60 minutes before sleep, when the body requires a continuous supply of amino acids for muscle recovery during the night. It is also suitable during the day when there is a long break between meals, helping to prevent muscle catabolism and maintain a positive nitrogen balance.

Mix 30 g of powder (one serving) with 300 ml of water – ideally in a shaker or blender. Casein protein naturally has a thicker consistency than whey protein, which is a characteristic property of micellar casein and not a product defect. The 900 g pack contains 30 servings. You can also mix it with milk for a creamier texture, although this will increase your overall calorie intake.

One serving of Nutrend Micellar Casein (30 g) contains 22.5 g of protein and approximately 5.2 g of BCAAs. The energy value per serving is 104 kcal, with only 0.6 g of fat and 1.9 g of carbohydrates. Protein contributes to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass, whilst BCAAs actively support the recovery of muscle fibres after training.

The key difference is the rate of absorption. Whey is absorbed quickly – within 1–2 hours – making it ideal immediately after training. Casein, such as Nutrend Micellar Casein, is digested slowly over several hours, releasing amino acids continuously. The two proteins are not competitors – the most effective strategy is to combine whey post-training with casein before bed for maximum muscle protection throughout the day.

Nutrend Micellar Casein stands out through the addition of the patented prebiotic-probiotic complex LactoWise®, delivering 900 million CFU of Bacillus coagulans per serving – which is fairly exceptional among casein proteins. The product contains 75% micellar casein in milk isolate, 22.5 g of protein per serving, and 699 mg of calcium. The customer rating is 3.8/5 – when choosing, compare the ingredient profile, cost per serving, and your individual flavour and texture preferences.

Yes, Nutrend Micellar Casein is well suited to a calorie-controlled diet. One serving (30 g) contains only 104 kcal, 1.9 g of carbohydrates, and 0.6 g of fat, whilst delivering 22.5 g of protein. The high protein content promotes satiety, protects muscle mass during a calorie deficit, and the minimal fat and carbohydrate content keeps the overall calorie contribution low. It is therefore an excellent choice for anyone managing their calorie intake.

Nutrend Micellar Casein contains milk and milk-derived ingredients – it is not suitable for individuals with a milk protein allergy or those with severe lactose intolerance. The formula contains gluten-free wheat fibre, which reduces the gluten content; however, for those with coeliac disease, we recommend consulting a doctor. The product is not suitable for vegans. Always verify the current allergen information directly on the packaging of the product you purchase.

No, Nutrend Micellar Casein is not suitable for vegans. The product is made from 91% milk protein isolate with a 75% micellar casein content – both derived from animal sources. Vegan athletes looking for a slow-releasing night-time protein should consider plant-based alternatives such as pea, rice, or soy protein, which can provide a comparable amino acid profile.

LactoWise® is a patented prebiotic-probiotic complex combining the probiotic strain Bacillus coagulans with prebiotic galactomannan. One serving of Nutrend Micellar Casein delivers 900 million CFU of Bacillus coagulans. This complex actively supports gut microbiome health and healthy digestion – which is particularly important at higher protein intakes, as some individuals may experience digestive discomfort. This addition sets the product apart from the majority of standard casein proteins on the market.

Yes, Nutrend Micellar Casein can readily be combined with other supplements. A classic strategy is whey protein post-training and casein before bed – these two proteins naturally complement each other. Before bed, it can also be combined with magnesium or ZMA to support recovery. It is not recommended to mix casein with acidic drinks, as these negatively affect its texture. When combining with any medications, always consult a doctor first.

Nutrend Micellar Casein is a safe dietary supplement when used as directed. Possible side effects are primarily associated with sensitivity to milk proteins or lactose – including bloating, digestive discomfort, or diarrhoea. The built-in LactoWise® complex with probiotic cultures may help to partially alleviate digestive issues. With long-term high protein intake, experts recommend ensuring adequate fluid intake and periodically monitoring kidney health.

One serving of Nutrend Micellar Casein contains 699 mg of calcium, representing a substantial contribution to an adult's daily requirement (the recommended daily intake is 800–1,000 mg). Calcium contributes to normal muscle function as well as the maintenance of healthy bones and teeth. This naturally high calcium content from milk isolate is a further advantage over many protein supplements that do not contain calcium in comparable amounts.
