Calcium caseinate

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Calcium caseinate is a protein that neutralizes capsaicin, the active (hot) ingredient of peppers, jalapeños, habaneros, and other chilli peppers. It is also used as a dietary supplement by bodybuilders and other athletes, who ingest it before bed, with breakfast, or as post-work out meal, as it breaks down at a slower rate than whey protein, thus supplying the body with a sustained protein release. It is synthesized from dried skim milk, and is very high in glutamic acid.
