XBrain Micellar Casein

 

Overview

Here is what XBrain have to say:

XBrain’s Organic Micellar Casein is a superior protein supplement produced with the utmost care from organic milk using only the gentlest heating and filtration processes. It is free from artificial sweeteners and preservatives, using the healthy, all-natural stevia for its excellent taste. Because of the unique, slow-release properties of casein, it will ensure that your body is in a constant anabolic state throughout the day, making sure that you don’t waste the muscle gain from your workout. It should definitely be added to the muscle gain strategy of anybody who cares about deriving the maximum benefits from their training. 

Nutritional Information

 

Obviously the protein source here is casein but at 18.75g the dose is a little on the light side for me. The carb and fat content looks perfect. XBrain have wisely opted for Stevia over artificial sweeteners.

XBrain clearly believing that less is more and choosing to not add in any extras and let the quality of their product speak for itself.

Taste

I had the Chocolate flavour (Natural and Vanilla also available) and I found the actual flavour very pleasant, not too sweet or sickly, but it was a little bit “thin” for my liking and even when I reduced the water content it still seemed to be thin. It’s a minor issue but I thought I’d mention it. It didn’t have any nasty aftertaste or problems mixing up.

Side Effects

None

Price

£42.49 for a 900g tub with 36 servings in.

Results

XBrain are looking to become the go to brand for all natural, organic and “clean” supplements. They certainly have put a great amount of effort into their Micellar Casein, from beginning to end this has clearly been built to be the best Casein on the market, from the quality of the milk used to using Stevia XBrain really has taken care to make this as “clean” as possible.

The nutritional profile is very good, using Stevia always wins points in my book, I do think the protein content is a little light but that’s not the end of the world. The carb and fat content are kept very low which means this can be easily slotted into any cycle and could have benefits for cutting or bulking.

The taste is pretty good, organic products tend to taste a bit worse than their unhealthier counterparts but it wasn’t too noticeable with this product. The main issue with Micellar Casein is the price point – coming in at £1.18 per serving is simply too expensive. I have virtually no issues with the product itself, in fact I think its very good, but I’m just not sure that I’d be willing to pay for it. If you place a particularly high value on a product being all organic then you might be willing to pay for it but it would be a deal breaker for me. 7.5/10
