Top 7 casein supplements
After having made a ranking of the best health supplements whey protein, which you can consult here, we have now decided to choose those that are the best health supplements Casein.
And how did we do this?
Unlike the comparison of Whey supplements, in which we only used products that had already been previously analyzed on the website, here we chose to take what are probably the best-selling Caseins in Portugal and put them all head to head.
We assign a score to each supplement's protein content, its ingredients, price and also our opinion of the supplement.
You can consult the criteria in detail at the end of the page.
Don't you know what Casein is? Do you have here A brief description.
Let's get to the point, what are the best Casein supplements?
Myprotein Micellar Casein
Micellar Casein from Myprotein took first place and added 17 points in our table.
What is so special about Myprotein Micellar Casein anyway?
Well, to begin with it has a protein content of 80% where the source is exclusively Micellar Casein and nothing else.
Then it is the second cheapest Casein on the entire list, costing just 2.15? for every 100g of protein in the 4kg version.
In other words, it is an excellent quality supplement at an excellent price.
We give this supplement 5 stars.
Is available here.
| Protein | H Carbon | Fat | ?/100g Prot | |
| Values | 80g | 6g | 1.5g | 2.15? |
Prozis Sport Micellar Casein
In second place was Prozis Sport's Micellar Casein, which scored 16 points, one point less than the Myprotein supplement.
Why did you have one point less?
Mainly because it is significantly more expensive, costing 2.66? for every 100g of protein 1.5kg version.
This supplement has 80% of protein, but not all of it is Casein, as it is a formula composed of isolated and concentrated milk protein.
What does this mean?
It means it is made up of 80% Casein and 20% Whey, which is both good and bad.
Bad because the name ends up being misleading, as it is not exclusively Casein, but good because it combines the benefits of Casein with those of Whey protein, just like milk.
We give this supplement 5 stars.
| Protein | H Carbon | Fat | ?/100g Prot | |
| Values | 80g | 5.67g | 1.14g | 2.66? |
Xcore Xtreme Casein
In third place we have Xtreme Casein from Xcore.
Xtreme Casein is an excellent Casein supplement, with 80% of protein and also includes vitamins, minerals and lactase, a digestive enzyme.
The problem?
Is it expensive, costing 3.44? for every 100g of protein.
But it's good!
We give this supplement 4 stars.
| Protein | H Carbon | Fat | ?/100g Prot | |
| Values | 80g | 6.86g | 1.14g | 3.44? |
Prozis Prime Fusion Night Casein
In fourth place was Prime Fusion Night from Prozis, which is Whey Prime das Caseínas, which is our review of Whey Prime, you know that's not a compliment.
Prime Fusion Night Casein is the cheapest supplement on the list, costing 1.72? for every 100g of protein in the 1.814kg version, which is basically why it is listed in 4th place and not lower.
The protein is of low quality, much of which is not Casein, and includes unwanted additions such as the famous Glycine or even Wheat Protein.
Unfortunately, Prozis does not present the aminogram for this supplement.
Our rating for this supplement was 2.5 stars.
| Protein | H Carbon | Fat | ?/100g Prot | |
| Values | 80g | 9.67g | 3g | 1.72? |
Optimum Nutrition 100% Casein Protein
100% Casein Protein from the famous Optimum Nutrition came in fifth place.
So, ON's casein isn't any good?
Calm?
ON Casein is of very good quality, contains 76,25% of protein, exclusively from Micellar Casein and also has the interesting addition of digestive enzymes.
The problem?
The price.
Does it cost 3.7? for every 100g of protein in the 1.8kg version and is the 2nd most expensive protein on the list.
We give this supplement 4 stars.
It is available on Zumub and at Body&Fit.

| Values | 76.25g | 10g | 1.56g | 3.7? |

Muscletech Platinum 100% Casein
Was Muscletech in last place?again.
Why did the Platinum 100% Casein come in last place?
Well, it's not a bad supplement.
They contain 77,42% of protein, and all of it is micellar casein.
So why is it in last place?
Why is the price absurd, costing 4.85? for every 100g of protein in the 1.65kg version and reaching 6.09?(!) for every 100g of protein in the 837g version.
We give this supplement 3 stars.

| Values | 77.42g | 6.45g | 1.67g | 4.85? |
Aminogram?
If you have already read any of our analytics to proteins, you know we are big fans of aminograms.
Did you think we forgot?
No.
Unfortunately, several Casein supplements do not include the aminogram, but here are the values for the supplements we found information on online.
The supplement Myprotein Casein It did not come first by chance, and it also shows it here in the aminogram, being the supplement with the highest percentage of BCAA's and essential amino acids.
The remaining supplements also have good values, especially Xcore's Casein, while Optimum Nutrition 100% Casein is the one with slightly lower values overall, as would be expected taking into account its protein content.
The objective of this comparison was simple, to show you which are the best Casein supplements and why, in a simple way.
We used all available data to make a good comparison and make your work easier when looking for a Casein supplement.

Our score is at the end of each rating in the article, it was based on our opinion regarding the supplement, with the price/quality ratio being the main factor.
We did not include aminograms because several casein supplements do not present their aminogram, which made it impossible to carry out a uniform analysis of all supplements. However, you have a table with the values of supplements that make their aminogram available online.
The values and prices used are those practiced on the Myprotein website and the Prozis website.

Analyze the hard gainer extreme from myprotein…it seems like a very promising gainer
Briefly :)
Hey
I really admired this content.
For more sites, ditto this one!
Marcio from Somatodrol Guide
Good afternoon...I have nothing against myprotein, on the contrary, but in the case of casein in this article and on the website itself in the nutritional values it says that in 100g it has 80% protein A LIE, because I bought a 4 kl bag without flavor to have more percentage of protein and I was wrong because on the bag it says that 100g has 74g of protein and per 30g scoop it has 22g and on the website it says 24g….I think the brand is deceiving consumers…
Hi Daniel, that's a little strange, because we already had it on hand with the 80% protein, have you contacted the brand?
Well, I also thought it was strange… no, I don't think they have contacts
Can I take casein from myprotein together with impact weight gainer? Any recommendations you can give me?
Yes you can.
As for recommendations, it's complicated without knowing the diet, but it's probably a good idea to use Impact Weight Gainer before/after training and Casein before bed.
Does MyProtein also have digestive enzymes?
No.
Hello,
The fact that ON and Xcore contain enzymes that help the digestion of casein cannot be considered a point in favor that justifies the higher price in relation to casein from myprotein or prozis?
Or could it be said that the presence of these enzymes does not present significant differences in digestive terms that justify the higher price?
Is there a relevant role in the presence of this type of enzymes or not?
Cumps
Hi Francisco.
It's a valid question.
Therefore, I did not find the quantities of digestive enzymes used by ON.
Without these values it is difficult to value it.
In terms of opinion, no. It's not worth the extra price.
In terms of experience, I know of one case (just one) that says there were benefits in protein digestion…but using a specific digestive enzyme supplement, not these additions.
Therefore, it was not a factor taken into account in the assessment.
