Usage

General Description

Casein is a family of related phosphoproteins commonly found in mammalian milk, comprising about 80% of the proteins in cow milk and between 20% to 45% of the proteins in human milk. Casein has a wide variety of uses, including being a major component of cheese, as a food additive, and in the production of adhesives and paints. It is also used in some nutritional supplements and in the making of plastics and textile fibers. Casein is a valuable source of protein and essential amino acids, with potential benefits for muscle growth and repair, weight management, and bone health. However, some people may have allergies or intolerances to casein and should avoid it in their diets.
