Rule1 Casein Protein 1.8kg

Rule1 Casein Protein – micellar casein, Chocolate Fudge flavour

Rule1 Casein Protein is a protein powder from the US manufacturer Rule One Proteins in which all of the protein comes from micellar casein. Casein is the main protein in milk, and micellar casein is the form in which casein naturally occurs in milk. One 35 g serving provides 25 g of protein and 120 kcal, with 1 g of fat and less than 1 g of sugar. According to the manufacturer, a serving contains 11 g of essential amino acids from milk protein. The flavour available at Sportlab is Chocolate Fudge, created with cocoa processed with alkali and natural and artificial flavourings. The container holds 1.82 kg of powder, or 52 servings.

Protein and calcium

Protein is a nutrient the body needs every day. A 35 g serving of Rule1 Casein Protein provides 25 g of protein, and protein supplies more than 80% of the product's energy. A serving also contains 600 mg of calcium, which is 75% of the nutrient reference value.

• Protein contributes to a growth in muscle mass.
• Protein contributes to the maintenance of muscle mass.
• Protein contributes to the maintenance of normal bones.
• Calcium is needed for the maintenance of normal bones.

A varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle are important. According to the manufacturer, essential amino acids make up 44% of the amino acids in the protein. These are amino acids the body cannot produce itself and must obtain from food.

How to use?

Mix about one scoop (35 g) of powder with 296–355 ml of water, milk or another drink of your choice. Use a shaker or stir the drink in a glass with a spoon – the manufacturer recommends mixing for about 30 seconds. If you prefer a thicker drink, use less liquid. The manufacturer recommends drinking Casein Protein in the evening before bed or between meals, but it can also be used before or after a workout and as a snack at any time of the day. The product is sold by weight, not volume: the powder settles during transport and the container is not completely full. The scoop may settle to the bottom of the container during shipping. To preserve freshness, store the container tightly closed in a cool, dry place.
