Night Protein (520g) - Vanilla

Scientific studies have confirmed the positive effects of protein on muscle strength and/or mass and have shown that protein promotes rapid muscle recovery after exercise. These positive effects are maximized by taking 20 to 30 g of protein every 3 to 4 hours. These doses should therefore be taken at every eating opportunity and certainly after training. For the elderly and after strength training during which the whole body is used, a dose of 40 g of protein is even recommended. A regular diet is advised, but ingesting protein at night is not practical. Additionally, setting the alarm every 3 or 4 hours during the night would disrupt athletes' sleep and recovery. This is why researchers are looking for a practical solution to stimulate muscle recovery overnight.

In addition to the famous whey protein, which is absorbed very quickly, milk also contains casein protein. Casein appears to be the most suitable protein source to take before bed due to its sustained release profile. In recent years, several protocols have been tested with casein protein. A few years ago, researchers already showed that protein intake before bed increases muscle protein synthesis during the night. In a follow-up study, scientists showed that ingesting casein before sleep led to increased muscle mass and strength during a 12-week resistance training program. 

Although the optimal protocol has not yet been determined, and more research is certainly needed, there is strong evidence that at least 40 g of protein is needed before sleep to provide muscles with sufficient building blocks. to spend the night. Even adding leucine at a lower amount (e.g. 30 g of protein) is insufficient.

For these reasons, 6d NIGHT PROTEIN consists exclusively of premium micellar casein isolate with an exceptionally high casein:whey ratio (95:5). Therefore, one serving contains 37g of slow-absorbing protein and only 2g of fast-absorbing protein. Additionally, this exceptionally high dose of protein comes in a relatively small volume (300ml). This reduces the risk of nighttime sleep. interrupted, because a larger volume of fluid significantly increases the risk of a nighttime visit to the toilet.

In summary, 6d NIGHT PROTEIN is the ideal shake to take before bed. Especially for athletes who want to develop their muscles and/or muscular strength, but also for athletes who want to optimize their nighttime recovery after intense physical exercise!
