When you're buying the ZMA its important to note the type of zinc/magnesium you're getting - they should both be of the aspartate variety (ie. zinc aspartate and magnesium aspartate) otherwise it may be less effective. But like I said before, taking casein before your ZMA will block the effectiveness (certainly of the zinc) - so take the ZMA a reasonable amount of time before the casein.

Zinc 30mg Magnesium 450mg should be sufficient. you can increase that if you are a big guy but keep same ratio.

MP bedtime extreme. been using it for months and really rate it. About 40g casein, 10gL-glutamine and 5g HMB... perfect

like the comments above your looking for a product that contains a high level of Casein that will drip feed your body during the night. There are quite afew brands that really stand out from the rest, one of which has worked they're magic and been able to add ingredients like HMB without sacrificing taste. Others have included Flaxseed which will slow protein absorption down even futher. There are some cracking pre-bed blends on the market now a days.

Jindlay; I know what you mean about the white chocolate, i couldnt quite decide whether i liked it or not. White chocolate is probably the hardest flavour for any supplement company to get right and produce, hence thats why theres hardly any white chocolate flavoured products on the market. Think PhD have done a good job, but again, its a hard flavour to master and not to everyones taste

If you go for both ZMA and a casein drink make sure you space them out a bit, as calcium blocks the absorption of many micro-nutrients (in this case zinc and magnesium) - so you would get the beneficial effects of the casein but not the full effects of ZMA.

Boditronics midnight express.

Contains Micellar casein other proteins HMB L-Glutamine flax seed oil.

And tastes pretty good.

You should go with this imo.

Cheers guys, that phd pharma 6hr blend seems worth a shout.

Any other brands?

I used Phd pharma blend 6hr with a little taurine.

Now I use Dorian Yates Protein.

40g casein before bed is what i would recommend. ive found stacking it with ZMA actually works well for me.

For pre-bed casein options are always a good bet. They're slow release and will help feed your body through the night.

I've used MP milk protein for the last year or so but I'm getting bored with it, can anybody suggest an alternative? I'm not fussed about bulk or branded.
