So, what is casein hydrolysate?
Casein hydrolysate is a protein derived from milk that has been broken down into smaller peptides through the process of hydrolysis. This process increases its bioavailability and makes it easier for the body to digest and absorb. Casein hydrolysate is a popular ingredient in sports nutrition supplements and protein bars because of its fast absorption rate and ability to promote muscle protein synthesis. It is also commonly used in infant formulas, as it is easily digested by babies. Additionally, casein hydrolysate has been shown to have potential health benefits such as improving immune function and reducing inflammation.
