Limitless Micellar Casein Review


 

Overview
Here’s what Limitless have to say:

Limitless Micellar Casein is formulated using premium grade micellar casein powder. It is considered the perfect shake for those who need a slow releasing protein to take before bed. Micellar Casein delivers a slow sustained release of aminos to the muscles whilst you sleep, therefore better aiding recovery and growth.
Limitless Micellar Casein has an excellent amino acid profile and is particularly high in branched chain amino acids (BCAAs). It is also extremely low in fat whilst providing an excellent source of calcium.

25g of slow digesting protein is a good amount for last thing at night to drip feed your muscles to prevent falling into a catabolic state while you sleep. This shake doesn't bloat you like some Casein products which can be an issue and make going to sleep a bit uncomfortable.

4.9g of Sugar is quite high and more than I normally like to see. The Fat content has been kept in check though with only 1g.

Taste
I was very impressed with the flavour of this shake. The vanilla was very creamy and refreshing. It also mixed very well in a standard shaker, it did have a bit of a grainy texture though.

Side Effects
None

Price
£24.99 for a 907g tub which has 25 servings in. This is comparable to similar products on the market.

Results
Limitless Casein has a good nutritional profile (apart from that pesky sugar content) and is priced reasonably. I think that the flavour was great and there were no noticeable side effects. This is a Casein shake so its primary use is supposed to be before bed but I also found that it was great to take between meals. The only thing that I didn't really like about this shake is the texture. Although the powder mixed in well it left a grainy texture behind. This is only if you mix it with water, when mixed with milk it was fine.  Apart from that it's a great shake. As a late night sweet protein fix it's great and you don’t wake up feeling empty. 7/10
