Proliva Sport Build is a customised protein supplement designed to meet overnight recovery in sports person and athletes and therefore, is also called “night protein”. It contains a perfect combination of different proteins, led by Casein which is ideally suited for overnight recovery and also contains whey & soy for complementary benefits of these proteins. Please read the below article to read more on the benefits of casein-led proteins for overnight recovery:

Does the type of protein matter? “So far we have only used casein protein in our studies,” notes Trommelen. “Casein is a very slowly digested protein and during the night it is the longest period where you can’t have a meal, pre-sleep it’s going to be at least 8 hours until you have your breakfast. If you have slow digestive protein you provide your body with the building blocks for the entire period. I’m not sure other proteins would be the same, but casein is certainly effective.” A lot of research has been done on proteins in general and it’s clear that animal-based proteins are better than plant-based proteins when it comes to muscle building or recovery, Trommelen claims. “Animal proteins are higher in leucine, the main amino acid that stimulates muscle protein synthesis. You can benefit from plant or pea proteins but you would likely need a higher dose than what you do with animal-based proteins,” he explains. The type of protein used in the studies has been casein protein, which is better suited for muscle rebuilding. When asked about opportunities in whey protein for overnight recovery, Trommelen replied: “Whey protein is certainly an area for further research, whey is interesting as it is essentially the opposite of casein, it is rapidly digested and stimulates muscle protein to a very high extent, but because it is so rapidly digested, the amino acids also break down very quickly.” “During the day you can ingest protein and benefit from it, during the night you need these building blocks, which casein offers to rebuild the muscle,” he adds. “Whey is good for muscle growth, but casein is better suited for muscle rebuilding – there is a reason why these tests have been done so far using casein.”“Across the board, I do see an interest for variations of protein, consumers are looking for experiences so anyone who would like to create a new product format which is appealing for ingesting protein, would receive a warm welcome in the market,” Trommelen concludes.
