Where does the organic casein come from?
Ekopura casein comes from organic farms in the Alpine region. The cows graze there on rich Alpine pastures. An environment with clean air and a healthy atmosphere. The cows graze outside as long as the temperature permits.
Does your casein come from grass-fed cows?
Yes, the cows mainly eat grass from the pasture all year round. Only when it gets too cold in winter do the cows go inside.
Can the cows graze freely?
Yes, the milk for our casein comes from organic farms that care about the well-being of animals and nature. This is part of the basic principles of organic food.

What are the health benefits?
Ekopura casein promotes muscle recovery, muscle building and muscle maintenance. Casein is slowly absorbed by the body and is therefore well suited to take before going to sleep so that the body also absorbs sufficient proteins during the night and there is no shortage. You can also use casein for periods in which you take little to no nutrition. It also provides a feeling of satiety for a longer period of time, which delays the urge to snack or eat.
Is Ekopura Casein Micellar?
Yes, Ekopura Casein is micellar. Micellar Casein is the purest form of casein. In milk, the casein is found in micelles. These are solid particles that float around in the milk. These particles clump together in the stomach, which ensures that the casein acquires its special property of slow absorption by the body. As a result, the proteins and nutrients are absorbed by the body over a longer period (up to 7 hours).
Can you take it during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Yes, this product is a good supplement to get enough or extra protein, also during pregnancy. The casein is pure, unprocessed and organic. As a result, we can guarantee that there are no artificial additives, GMOs or other harmful substances in the product.
Contains Ekopura Casein Lactose?
Yes, Ekopura Casein contains a small amount of lactose. If you are allergic to this, we also offer Vegan Proteins that are lactose and allergen free.
Is the casein heated during production?
The organic milk is heated very briefly and minimally so that the proteins remain intact and not damaged. The milk is heated for a short period and then kept at 15ºC for about 20-60 seconds, after which the milk is cooled again. Our Casein is therefore bioactive and not denatured. Furthermore, only ultrafiltration takes place to ensure that the casein is completely clean.
