Casein Shake before bed blunt GH?

[freefall365]

Does taking a casein shake before bed blunt GH production? I'm thinking about switching to just bcaa 4:1:1 before bed instead of a heavy shake/small meal.

I dont think it does....at least if it does I dont know of it- I know carbs can- but only like above 20-25 g's if im not mistaken

Doubtful. I have yet to really see any "GH" boosting make a large difference in performance. The casein before bed is still the way to go imo.

I may misunderstand your post- but r u saying The Human Growth Hormone does nothing in ones performance?

Nah, not saying HGH doesn't play a role in performance, I am talking about fretting over taking a shake v. the negligible boost that you may get from the nights boost in GH.

ahh yep I agree the shake is not going to do anything to stunt the HGH hormone release

I misunderstood lol

Casein shake will not blunt GH unless its loaded with simple carbs..

Thanks man. Most people seem to agree with you that the casein is the way to go.

I don't really think of attempts at boosting natural GH production as much of a noticeable performance enhancer, but i do think it helps one stay lean and keep off unwanted fat. but i could be wrong.

Okay so simple carbs are the culprit. I try to cut them out completely after around 6 p.m.
