I’ve been doing quite some reading on supplements that might help with recovery. A lot of conflicting studies and no real conclusive ones. These are some of the supplements i’ve been reading about: glutamine, magnesium, creatine, BCAA/EEA’s, l-carnitine, l-arginine, coQ10, glucosamine and others. Ev…

I take magnesium citrate before bed to help with recovery. I find after a big day I have tight legs and the magnesium helps the muscles relax and I sleep better.

Haven’t time to dig it out now, but the Sigma Nutrition podcast did one with a researcher who showed that there’s no benefit of one protein over another at night. I kinda sit on the fence though, and mix my evening whey with greek yogurt! That’s notwithstanding the benefit if it helps you sleep bet…

I usually take EAAs pre workout and magensium post workout and magensium actually made a significant impact. Tbh the EAAs might be have a placebo affect but i take them because you tend to get a worse amino acid profile from plant based protein which my diet is based around. In regards to additiona…

[image] Macy: the Sigma Nutrition podcast did one with a researcher who showed that there’s no benefit of one protein over another at night During the heart of last season, I took casein protein for about 2 months every night before bed and found that to be extremely helpful and I was stronge…

True, i bought it because it’s label says “overnight protein” :slight_smile: I guess in your case greek yogurt slows digestion, serving same purpose of providing protein longer to restore body.

N=1 is the most important research!

I don’t do supplements. But, I can highly recommend compression boots as a recovery aid.
