Casein:

Casein is a slow-digesting protein, and taking it at night has several benefits, especially if you're looking to optimize muscle recovery and maintain consistent nutrition during sleep.

Some of the main benefits include:

Sustained release of amino acids : Casein is digested slowly, which means it provides a steady release of amino acids into the blood for several hours (up to 7 hours). This helps prevent muscle catabolism during the night, when the body does not receive food for a long time.

Improved Muscle Recovery : By reducing muscle breakdown, casein can aid in muscle repair and growth while you sleep, especially if you train in the evening or at night.

Hunger Control: Casein may provide a feeling of satiety throughout the night, which can be helpful in preventing cravings or late night eating.

Improved Nitrogen Balance : Due to its slow protein release, casein can help maintain a positive nitrogen balance, which is key to muscle growth.

Increased Protein Synthesis : Although slower than other proteins like whey, casein can still stimulate muscle protein synthesis, helping with long-term muscle repair and building. (Overnight)

Taking casein before bed is helpful in improving recovery, preventing muscle loss and maintaining a constant supply of protein throughout the night.

Melatonin:

Melatonin is a natural hormone that the body produces in the brain's pineal gland, primarily in response to darkness, helping to regulate the sleep-wake cycle. It is commonly referred to as the "sleep hormone" because it plays a crucial role in inducing sleep. However, it also has other benefits and applications:

Benefits of melatonin:

Improves sleep quality: Melatonin is widely used as a supplement to treat sleep disorders such as insomnia or jet lag. It helps induce sleep and regulate sleep cycles.

Adjusting the biological clock : Melatonin may be helpful in resetting the body's biological clock, especially when there are changes in sleep schedules, such as with night shift work or international travel.

Antioxidant Properties: Some studies suggest that melatonin has antioxidant properties, which may help reduce oxidative stress and protect cells from damage.

Improved immune function : Melatonin has been observed to have positive effects on the immune system, helping to regulate the immune response and reduce inflammation.

Relief of some anxiety disorders : In some cases, melatonin has also been used to help reduce anxiety, especially when it is related to insomnia or sleep disorders.

Considerations when taking melatonin:

Dosage and timing: Generally, melatonin doses for adults range from 0.5 mg to 5 mg, and it is recommended to take it 30 minutes to an hour before bedtime.

In summary, melatonin may be useful in improving sleep and regulating circadian rhythms.

Protein intake is an important factor in increasing the response to resistance training in healthy individuals.

Although a balanced diet can support anabolism during the day, the time period during sleep is typically characterized by catabolism and other metabolic changes.

Pre-sleep casein supplementation has been attributed to an enhanced adaptive response of skeletal muscle to resistance training through increases in muscle protein synthesis, muscle mass, and strength.

Casein: The release of protein from casein is slower than other protein sources, making it ideal for taking before bed.

Melatonin: Exogenous supplementation seems to help with sleep and, above all, to improve sleep quality. It also seems to be useful against headaches and seasonal affective disorder.

Magnesium: Inadequate magnesium intake is associated with poorer sleep quality and reduced recovery capacity. Sport can reduce magnesium levels, so the needs of physically active people may increase.
