Native micellar casein is slightly different than the regular normal micellar casein in terms of the production and structure of casein molecules. It is purest and most natural form of protein sourced from top-notch quality fresh milk. For the native micellar casein extraction from milk, manufacturers use the cold microfiltration process, where protein can be extracted directly from milk with minimal processing.
This protein does not contain additives or involve any chemicals during processing or in the end product. Due to its minimal processing, the structure of native micellar casein is not very denaturing and very close to its natural structure in the milk with the nutritional value intact in the end product.
Recently the sales of native micellar casein have increased due to its purest form with minimal processing and its application in the wide widespread area of food and beverages especially application in nutritional products due to its nutritional benefits.

Increasing Healthy Lifestyle and Fitness Freaks helps the spike in the Native Micellar Casein use
Fitness enthusiasts and regular gym-goers are very strict in what they intake in their bodies. Milk-derived proteins such as native micellar caseins are unique in the fact that they slowly release amino acids into the body instead of giving an immediate amino acid boost, making them ideal for post-workout supplements and night-time supplements. This unique functionality combined with the non-processed, additive-free nature of micellar casein is propelling demand.
Being a ‘slow-release’ protein, micellar casein results in a peak in amino acids in the blood only three to four hours after consumption. This sharply contrasts with whey protein, which leads to a peak in blood amino acids within 20–40 minutes of consumption.
