So, what is proteína de la leche?

Proteína de la leche, also known as milk protein, is a nutrient-dense ingredient extracted from cow's milk. It is composed of two types of proteins: casein and whey. Casein is a slow-digesting protein that forms a gel-like substance in the stomach, providing a prolonged release of amino acids. Whey is a fast-digesting protein that is quickly absorbed by the body, promoting muscle growth and repair. Milk protein is a popular ingredient in sports nutrition products, as well as functional foods and beverages due to its high protein content and versatile functionality. It is an excellent source of essential amino acids and important nutrients such as calcium and magnesium.
