Product Description
Slow Release Casein Protein for Overnight Muscle Recovery
You train hard all day. But here's what most athletes don't realize: the real rebuilding happens while you sleep. Your body is in full recovery mode for 6-8 hours, and without protein, it starts breaking down the muscle you just worked so hard to build.
Ascent Native Fuel Micellar Casein Protein is your overnight muscle recovery secret weapon.
What Makes This Slow Digesting Protein Different
Rebuilds While You Sleep
This isn't your typical protein shake. Micellar casein takes 6-8 hours to digest, delivering a steady stream of muscle-building amino acids throughout the night. Your body gets exactly what it needs, exactly when it needs it.
Clean Ingredients, Real Results
25g of protein per serving with zero artificial flavors, zero artificial sweeteners, and zero sugar. Just native fuel sourced from fresh milk—the building blocks that prevent muscle breakdown and maximize recovery.
Informed Sport Certified
Every batch is tested for banned substances. Whether you're competing at the highest level or crushing personal records, you can trust what's in your shake.
The Science Behind Overnight Recovery
Unlike whey protein that hits your system fast and burns out in 90 minutes, casein forms a gel in your stomach that releases amino acids slowly over 6-8 hours. You get 4.9g of naturally occurring BCAAs and 2.2g of leucine—the key amino acid that tells your muscles to grow, not break down. Research shows that taking 40g of casein protein about 30 minutes before sleep significantly increases amino acid availability during overnight recovery, helping your muscles repair and adapt from your training.
How to Use It
Mix it: Blend 1 scoop with 10-12 oz of liquid. This is thicker than your standard protein shake, so add extra water or milk if needed.
Timing matters: Take it 30-60 minutes before bed, after your evening training session.
Pro tip: Your longest stretch without food is overnight. This is when casein shines—keeping your body in muscle-building mode instead of muscle-breakdown mode.
This isn't just another bedtime protein powder. This is how you maximize the 8 hours your competitors are wasting.

Ascent Native Fuel Micellar Casein Protein FAQ's
Everything you need to know before getting started.
Take it 30-60 minutes before bed, after your evening training session. The slow 6-8 hour digestion makes it perfect for overnight recovery when you're not eating.
Whey digests quickly (90 minutes) making it ideal post-workout. Casein digests slowly over 6-8 hours, making it perfect for overnight recovery or long periods without food. Use whey after training, casein before bed.
Micellar casein forms a gel-like substance in your stomach—that's what makes it slow-digesting. Mix with extra liquid (12-14 oz) if you prefer a thinner consistency, or blend it for best results.
Absolutely. While it's ideal before bed, casein is also great between meals or during long training days when you need sustained protein release for 4-6 hours.
