Pre-bed drink

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.
 

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

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

Milk?

I have quark pre-bed.  Sometimes followed by a glass of milk.

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

Now I use Dorian Yates Protein.

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

Any other brands?

DONT get 6HR in white choc, it's nothing like it whatsoever.

Boditronics midnight express.

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

And tastes pretty good.

You should go with this imo.

If you love something let it go,if it comes back to you it's yours,if it doesn't it never was.

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.

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

 

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

First cycle log - Epi/Bold

what dose of zma before bed do you guys recommend?

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

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.
