best supplement before bedtime??

[diggers]

what do you guys suggest?

I have been taking USN IGF and Amino acid tablets

 

[Outside Backer]

LIPOtrophin PM is a awesome night time sleepy sleepy propduct from applied nutriceuticals


pardon my typing i just got out of work and took 3 15 min ago and im dozin off

l-dopa is great


phenibut and ltheanine has worked for me as well

 

[bigswole30]

I love the combination of MST Somnidren-GH and ZMK. I sleep like a baby and wake up tight as a drum.

 

[JBerto]

Maybe L-Dopa + L-Arginine

 

[UKStrength]

IGF-2 by Applied Nutriceuticals or PowerFULL by USP Labs, both these products augment the natural release of human growth hormone (hGH) at night, speeding up recovery time.

Expect deep sleep, eliminated soreness from workouts, increased libido and strength improvements in the gym.

Check out my log or ask one of the reps from either company if you need more details mate.

 

[A_I_Sports_Nutrition]

Somnidren-GH was very good. Glycobol is also getting good reviews from people taking it before bed.

[vpower]

a handful of almonds

Thats a supplement?

 

[steam]

Thats a supplement?

sure, its a supplement to my regular diet

 

[duffmt6]

Glycobol is also getting good reviews from people taking it before bed.

i was thinking about trying this. i heard the best way to take it was with BCAAs and a gh booster. any suggestions for the gh? maybe mucuna pruriens?

 

[JW32Hoops]

I would definitely recommend some :439:

Glad I could help!

Lipotrophin-PM and IGF-2

Lipotrophin-PM and IGF-2 definitely. These are my staple pre-bed supplements.

[Young Gotti]

i'm going to be taking I-gh-1 before bed with my pct of the trifecta stack, i can let u know how that turns out

 

[McBurly]

I swear by phenibut and bulk powerfull, i usually dose every other night. With random 4-7 day breaks. I just wake up feeling great and rested, and a nice boost in my mood, probably due to its effects on dopamine receptors, "it has shown to stimulate dopamine receptors. "

go back to BULK :wave2:

GICH!

 

[andrew732]

Powerfull plus glycobol

Great suggestions here... You could even add some ZMK for mineral support.

 

[JW32Hoops]

I desparately need to BULK :worried:

GICH!

indeed

 

[brk_nemesis]

The correct question is what supplements do I not take before bedtime? LOL

 

[andrew732]

The correct question is what supplements do I not take before bedtime? LOL

Any food including whey protein, and obviously no stims lol

 

[hl80]

I normally eat cottage cheese before bedtime, but MyoFusion tastes so good, I might drink that, instead, since it contains a lot of casein.

GABA (via ReductionPM) helps me sleep, too.

 

[rms80]

what do you guys suggest?

I have been taking USN IGF and Amino acid tablets

IGF-2 from Applied

or the GH-releasing/sustaining product we have on tap for mid-09- going to be nothing else like it out there

 

[Rosie Chee]

Generally you would not use stimulants within 6 hours of going to bed (this of course depends on the user and their stimulant tolerance).

Any food including whey protein, and obviously no stims lol

Food, including whey protein, IS OK ok before bed.

IGF-2 from Applied

or the GH-releasing/sustaining product we have on tap for mid-09- going to be nothing else like it out there

And I get to be one of the first to try this Excited and looking forward to it!

Powerfull plus glycobol

New or the old powerfull?

 

[thegodfather]

a handful of almonds

My neighbor had recommended this to me one time. Apparently it naturally raises the bodys' melatonin stores.

 

[RenegadeRows]

I'd go with REDuction PM, ZMA, Casein and Powerfull... depending on your goals.

 

[A_I_Sports_Nutrition]

i was thinking about trying this. i heard the best way to take it was with BCAAs and a gh booster. any suggestions for the gh? maybe mucuna pruriens?

PowerFULL would work well with the Glycobol.

 

[justreading]

Try TotalForce 1 by force of green labs... look it up

 

[CHAPS]

ZMA
Protein blend+fish oil

K.I.S.S :wave2:

 

[Mjolnir]

My favorite so far is BulletProof. I love it, I feel great in the morning and I have some crazy freakin dreams more so than any other PM GH supp ive tried. ReductionPM is good too though.

 

[jason2459]

I'm with chaps. Always been a fan of ZMA before bed. Nice deep sleep with some crazy ass dreams. Wake up nice, rested, and ready to hit some hard training.

 

[PowerHouse555]

a **** tail favorite of mine is

ZMA
GABA
Powerfull
DOPA Tech form pro source
melatonin (at times)

All equals a great sleep and better recovery

 

[Fabulous One]

I never could sleep well with ZMA. I think it must be the b vitamin that most have in them. I have been getting some great sleep with the following:

Theanine Serine with Relora
Bacopa
L-Dopa
Rhodiola
Cinnamon
VitD3
Equate Night Time Sleep Aid
Cottage cheese/yogurt/blueberries
almonds/brazil nut
1 or 2 peices of dark chocolate or cocoa

Thats just some good stuff right there! Add in a completely dark room, some good sex, and a fan and you're set!

 

[thegodfather]

Velarian root is great too, but the capsules smell like **** cover puke. You have to wash your hands after handling it even for a few seconds. Great stuff though for relaxing and going to sleep.

This is a good post, however please note the 'at times' for melatonin. You need to cycle it if you're using it. Like any exogenous hormone - use it carefully. I think there's a feedback loop on this one.

 

[matthias7]

Caesin is considered better. Whey has worked okay with me. The idea is that caesin is broken down slowly providing nutrients O/N.

 

[matthias7]

RenegadeRows I've never heard of REDuction. Could you fill the rest of us in?

It is the non-stimulant pm fat burner made by Controlled Labs. It can be used alone or stacked with REDuction-A.M.

[CTDeuce]

sounds like someone needs the GHSR stack (somnidren gh + zmk)

 

[loki515]

i was informed that if you took gultamine before bed it helped raise Gh but I def. don't know if it's true. Is that true? looking for imput myself

 

[medicone]

ZMA
Protein blend+fish oil

K.I.S.S :wave2:

I would go with this, plus add in some GHRP-6 300mcg. Also some Melatonin 2-3mg. Helps keep you asleep, but you wake up refreshed and not groggy.

 

[medicone]

Yes it is true. I wish I could tell you the exact science, but it bascially works on the pituitary gland to stimulate growth hormone release in individuals that engage in weight training. The body actually craves the amino acid and anyone who lifts should supplement with glutamine every day, atleast 15-20mg a day....IMHO. Before bed is the optimal time. The other times are pre and post workouts. There was some research that it inhibits growth after workouts so you should not include it in post workouts, but I call BS on that. Its an anti-catabolic, so that makes no sense at all.

I like the ingredients of this product! I will have to google it to find it. I have one small question. Do you worry about the Insulin spike since it has maltodextrin in it which is higher in the glycemic index than even table sugar? I guess at night would you really want an insulin spike? Or has it shown to not be that bad?

I like it too. It has ZMA, Arginine, Glutamine, GABA, L-Dopa,... almost everything that has been commented in this thread to take before bed.

But i've a doubt: Anyone knows if that protein in Musclepharm's Bullet Proof is Micellar Casein?

no it has not been bad @ all.. Please correct me if I am crazy but maltodextrin is a good thing becuse it will foce feeds your muscles protein. bullet proof has 10g Protein .. Let meknow if my thinking is correct... This is the best product on the market... I have a log using MP products...

 

[Iron Lungz]

Hands down for me: BCAA/EAA and CoQ10.
