• supports the health of the immune and nervous systems,
• tastes delicious and dissolves perfectly.

By purchasing Select Protein 880g, you receive a complete protein supplement that works both immediately after training and during night regeneration.

Whey and casein protein blend - how does it work on muscles?

For years, the fitness world was divided. On one side, whey protein enthusiasts praised it for its lightning-fast absorption, ideal right after a workout. On the other - casein advocates valued it for its slow release of amino acids, ensuring muscle protection for many hours. But what if I told you that you don't have to choose? What if nature (and specifically milk) has always suggested that the combination of both is the best?

Immediate muscle support thanks to WPC

Imagine you've just finished an exhausting workout. Your muscle fibers are strained, full of micro-injuries. They need immediate intervention, a "repair crew" that will get to work right away. This is the role of whey protein concentrate (WPC) in this blend.

When you drink a serving of Select Protein, the whey is absorbed from the digestive tract in just a few minutes. This causes a rapid, but desirable, increase in the level of amino acids in the blood. Among them, leucine plays a key role - an amino acid from the BCAA group that acts as an on/off switch for the process of muscle protein synthesis (MPS). You give your body a clear signal: "Training is over. Time for building and repairing!".

Thanks to this:

• You initiate anabolism (building processes) almost immediately after exertion.
• You inhibit catabolism (muscle breakdown), which naturally intensifies after intense training.
• You quickly replenish the "fuel" for tired muscles, which is the first step to full recovery.

Long-lasting nutrition - the role of casein in protecting your muscles

But what happens after an hour or two, when the whey is already fully utilized? In the case of a standard WPC supplement, the amino acid level drops sharply. Your muscles may become "hungry" again. And this is where the genius of Select Protein is revealed.

The casein comes into play – the second, slow-releasing protein in the blend. Casein has a unique property: in the acidic environment of the stomach, it forms a kind of "gel". This gel is digested by the body slowly and systematically, releasing amino acids into the bloodstream not over minutes, but over many hours (even 6-8).

How does casein protein work on muscles?

• Constant muscle nutrition: Your body receives a continuous, balanced supply of building material, which allows for the maintenance of protein synthesis long after training.
• Powerful anti-catabolic effect: Casein is a master in protecting muscles against breakdown. This is crucial not only at night (when you sleep and don't eat for many hours), but also during the day, during long breaks between meals.
• Greater feeling of satiety: Slower digestion of casein makes you feel fuller for longer. This is an invaluable benefit, especially if you are in the fat reduction phase and fighting hunger pangs.

How to dose the Select Protein supplement?

Thanks to its unique "fast & slow" formula, Select Protein is one of the most versatile proteins on the market. You can use it:

• Immediately after training: To instantly start regeneration (using the power of whey) and at the same time secure the muscles for the following hours (thanks to casein).
• Before bed: This is the ideal time for a serving of casein. By drinking Select Protein 30-60 minutes before bed, you provide your muscles with an hours-long supply of amino acids during the time when the body's regenerative processes are most active.
• Between meals: Do you have a long break at work? Don't have time for a full meal? A serving of Select Protein is the perfect way to boost protein in your diet, satisfy hunger and protect muscles against catabolism.
• As an addition to meals: Add a scoop to your morning oatmeal or yogurt to enrich the meal with complete protein and improve its taste.
