For those who workout, what's your favorite nighttime supplement to keep the anabolic process going? Some proteins can keep you awake, and I imagine sugar would be the last thing you want in your system before bed. I understand that it supresses the growth hormone release that occurs a ways into the sleep cycle. Also, anyone like HMB?
Which? The recovery supplement? No, I'm looking for a supplement that feeds the anabolic (or muscle-building processes) at night. And FWIW, as long as you don't snack on sugar ... and aren't too old... your body releases some growth hormone a while after going to sleep and that burns some fat, but any type of metabolic enhancer taken at night could really screw-up your sleep. As for HMB, claims are made that it assists the anabolic processes by keeping muscle from being torn-down (essentially digested) by the body.
There's this cool new supplement I take called Placebo. Give me your credit card info and I'll pick you up some.
Cohen, look into glutamine. It helps to specifically burn fat instead of lean muscle. You take it a couple of times a day.
Yep. I take extra glutamine, but you need a balance of aminos to build muscle. I am going to try Twinlab's PM formula. They use milk protein since it takes longer for the body to assimilate than whey. And thanks guys, but I think I'll stay away from the chili dogs and gummi bears.
