Casein is considered a long-acting protein. The casein micelle has the ability to form a gel/clot in the stomach which makes it very efficient in supplying nutrients over a sustained period. This slow release of amino acids into the blood stream, sometimes lasting for several hours, provides for better nitrogen retention and utilization by the body.
