Hibernate Micellar Casein Protein - Slow-Release Protein for Recovery and Better Sleep Hibernate Micellar Casein Protein is specially formulated to support muscle recovery and improve sleep quality. Designed as a slow-digesting protein, Hibernate delivers a sustained release of amino acids throughout the night, helping to enhance muscle building and repair while you sleep. Available in Chocolate Brownie, Cinnamon & Vanilla Swirl and White Chocolate* flavours, Hibernate can be enjoyed hot, cold, or even as a mousse for a versatile nighttime recovery solution. *White Chocolate With the addition of 5-HTP, a natural serotonin precursor, it also promotes better sleep cycles and overall well-being. Why Choose Hibernate Micellar Casein Protein? Slow-Release Protein for Muscle RepairWith 24g of pure micellar casein protein per serving, Hibernate delivers a prolonged amino acid release to help prevent muscle breakdown and support recovery overnight. 100% Grass-Fed CaseinHibernate’s micellar casein is sourced from 100% grass-fed milk, ensuring high-quality protein without unnecessary fillers. It's perfect for those looking to fuel their bodies with clean ingredients. Fortified with MCTs from Coconut OilMedium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) in Hibernate offer an efficient source of energy that’s less likely to be stored as fat. MCTs are also known for their antimicrobial and anti-fungal properties, making them a great addition to support your health. Low in SweetenerHibernate contains only 0.01% sucralose, avoiding excessive sweeteners and supporting gut health. Key Benefits Supports Overnight Muscle Recovery: Slow-digesting protein provides a steady supply of amino acids while you rest. Clean Energy from MCTs: Derived from coconut oil, MCTs serve as a healthier fuel source. No Artificial Additives: Only pure, quality ingredients without blends or fillers. Versatile Consumption Options: Enjoy Hibernate as a warm drink, cold shake, or rich mousse. How to Use Hibernate Micellar Casein Protein Hibernate is versatile and can be consumed in different ways to suit your preferences: Hot Chocolate Before Bed:Add two scoops (30g) to 150-200ml of water or milk. Shake well and microwave for 60-90 seconds. Stir and enjoy. Cold Shake:Mix two scoops (30g) with 150-200ml of cold water or milk. Shake vigorously for 10 seconds. For added chill, throw in some ice cubes. Protein Mousse:Mix with yogurt (Greek or Natural) for an instant dessert or add two scoops (30g) to 150ml of water or milk. Stir until thick, then refrigerate for 45 minutes. Enjoy as a creamy dessert!

What is micellar casein, and why is it beneficial?Micellar casein is a slow-digesting protein that releases amino acids over an extended period. It's ideal for overnight recovery, preventing muscle breakdown during sleep and aiding in muscle growth. 2. How does 5-HTP* help with sleep?5-HTP is a precursor to serotonin, a neurotransmitter that regulates the sleep-wake cycle. Increasing serotonin levels can help improve sleep quality, reduce anxiety, and promote a stable mood.*Only in White Chocolate Flavour 3. What are MCTs, and how do they benefit me?MCTs (Medium Chain Triglycerides) are fats that the body can use as an efficient source of energy. Unlike long-chain fats, they are less likely to be stored as body fat and instead are burned for energy, making them a great addition for those looking to support metabolism and fat loss. 4. Can Hibernate be consumed in different ways?Yes! Hibernate can be enjoyed as a hot drink, cold shake, or even made into a protein mousse. It’s versatile enough to suit various preferences while still delivering the same recovery benefits. 5. Is Hibernate free from artificial additives?Hibernate contains just 0.01% sucralose, and we do not use any protein blends, fillers, or artificial additives. Our formula is 100% pure micellar casein with added MCTs for extra health benefits. Sources European Journal of Nutrition: The effects of casein protein on muscle recovery.
