ProviCo MCI-Pro™ Micellar Casein Isolate (MCI)

Premium Native Milk Protein

ProviCo MCI-Pro™ Micellar Casein Isolate is a high-protein dairy ingredient produced from fresh Australian skim milk using gentle membrane filtration technology. This process concentrates the natural casein micelles while preserving their native structure, delivering excellent functionality, a clean dairy flavour and superior heat stability.
As a naturally slow-digesting protein, Micellar Casein Isolate provides a sustained release of amino acids, making it an ideal ingredient for sports nutrition, healthy ageing, clinical nutrition and high-protein food applications.
