Night 85

What is Night 85 slow release blend casein protein?

True Protein Night 85 is a milk blend concentrate powder that boasts a 80% protein content for a slow, steady release while you sleep. Combining both casein protein and whey protein in a unique 80:20 ratio, Night 85 provides a complete set of amino acids which restore your muscles over a long period of time. Derived from ultra-filtered skimmed milk, Night 85 has a fat content of only 1.5% and carbohydrates of 3.9%. Night 85 has an impressive protein content that makes it ideal for boosting your daily protein intake and supporting lean muscle growth just before bed.

What is the difference between casein and whey protein?

True Protein Night 85 uses a combination of both casein and whey protein in a specific 80:20 ratio designed for overnight protein restoration. Mixing these two proteins together ensures a complete slow release and easy digestion protein intake. Casein carries the same amino acid profile as whey protein, however each has a unique absorption rate. Casein is the slower acting form of protein, once it has been through an ultra-filtration process and created into a protein powder. Because casein works slower, the amino acids maintain and protect protein in the body for a longer period, making it the perfect source of protein to regulate protein levels overnight. When the body works hard throughout the day whether it be through exercise or physical and mental exhaustion, the protein levels in our body deplete. Casein works to slow down the process of protein breakdown and therefore over a long period of time maintains and restores protein stores in the body. Whey quickly increases amino acids upon supplementation and boosts our protein synthesis process to jump start the functions of casein in the body. Casein and whey protein work better together especially when the body is in a state of rest. Night 85 uses whey to increase protein synthesis at a high rate and casein through a gradual state of release to repair and build protein stores.

Why should I take Night 85 before bed?

True Protein Night 85 works to supplement the protein stores lost after a full day's work. Whether you are exercising intensely throughout the day or are looking for a slow absorbing protein to fullfil your daily protein intake, Night 85 will work while you sleep to keep a healthy supply of protein and protect the body against further protein breakdown known as an anti-catabolic state. Taking Night 85 is ideal as it promotes a sustained supply and release of protein stores while you sleep. Research has proven that casein and whey protein, which are the core ingredients in Night 85, support the potential for lean muscle mass and a decrease in overall body fat when complemented with a balanced diet and exercise regime.

Can I take Night 85 as a dinner meal replacement?

We recommend using Night 85 as an after dinner, before bed protein shake to supplement the protein stores lost after a full day's work. We always recommend a balanced wholefood diet before adding supplements. We do not recommend replacing Night 85 for breakfast, lunch or dinner, it should be in addition to your meals. It is best to take the protein shake either 30 minutes to an hour before bed.

How is Night 85 flavoured?

Here at True Protein we have opted to use organically sourced all-natural stevia to sweeten our flavoured Night 85. Stevia is derived naturally from a plant that originated in South America and is 600 times sweeter than sugar. We therefore only need very small quantities of this naturally produced sweetener to flavour large quantities of protein. Our in-house development team has pushed the boundaries of natural flavouring, to develop completely unique flavours that contain no artificial flavours or additives, while possessing a fantastic natural and clean taste.

How does casein protein help improve my metabolic rate?

There are many myths and confusing information when it comes to defining your metabolic rate. Everybody, depending on their height, weight, climate you're living in and age, will have different metabolisms. When it comes to the consumption of milk casein proteins, there is evidence to suggest that dairy intake is associated with a decreased presence of metabolic related disorders such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol and high blood sugar. When these levels are stabilised through sufficient dietary supplementation of a whole foods diet and regular exercise, milk casein protein works to support gut health and an improved metabolic rate. It is suggested that through lifting weights, drinking a sufficient amount of water, improving sleeping patterns and managing stress, your body will learn to sustain a healthy body composition. Throughout these changes Night 85 can assist in reaching a stabilised metabolism. Night 85 is made up of 80% casein protein and 20% whey protein which makes the Night 85 formula extremely slow digesting to fuel the body consistently over a 6-8-hour period. Night 85 prompts changes in compositions due to controlled protein intake and thus an improved metabolic rate. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3703276/
