Casein Protein

Whey is fast digesting protein, Casein in slow digesting. Whey is used after workouts, which is typically when most people would have any kind of protein shake whatsoever. "Normies" and people just starting into fitness don't realise Casein before bed is good for you. They don't care; they 'work hard' in the gym and want the instant gratification of whey protein to make the most of it, because they've been told that if they don't get fast digesting protein in during the magical anabolic window then all that hard work is for literally nothing.
Whey protein is in high demand because any and everyone getting into fitness is told it's essential. Supply is high to meet the high demand, and price has settled at what it is. Casein protein has a lower demand so, despite it being cheaper to supply than whey, it wouldn't be beneficial to supply as much because demand wouldn't meet it. There would be product left over that would go off or never sell. Supply is lower so price is higher.

There is left over product, milk makes 4.5x as much casein than whey.

Where the fuck does all that casein go? Is it just thrown out?

just this. perfect. hydrolisate is the fastest absorbed whey, but tastes bad and is pretty expensive.

its sold to other companies and used in different products, i.e. protein bars, ready-to-drink protein shakes, etc.

That would still result in more casein products than whey products on the market though.

whey is a byproduct of cheesemaking, all the casein goes into making cheese. whey used to be thrown out before people realized they could make money by processing and selling it as protein supplements.
