Product type
Casein is a family of related proteins that are commonly found in mammalian milk, constituting about 80% of the proteins in cow's milk. It is produced through the acidification or enzymatic coagulation of milk, resulting in a white, odorless powder. Casein is known for its slow digestion rate, making it a popular choice in dietary supplements and food products aimed at muscle recovery and sustained energy release.

When choosing casein, buyers should consider the protein content and the form (powder or granules) that best suits their application. It is also important to specify any desired certifications, such as non-GMO or organic, as well as the required solubility for specific uses. Quantities can vary widely, so buyers should clearly communicate their needs to ensure they receive an appropriate quote.
