Scitec Night Pro

 

Overview

Here’s what Scitec have to say:

Caseins and caseinates make the other group of milk proteins besides whey. They are high in the essential branched-chain amino acids (BCAA’s) and in L-Glutamine (higher than whey), the most abundant free amino acid in human blood. NIGHT PRO's calcium caseinate and micellar casein are so-called complete proteins, because they provide the body with all necessary amino acids, including the 9 amino acids (i.e. Histidine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Threonine, Tryptophan, Valine) that are considered essential for life, because the body cannot synthesize them. They are also the substantial sources of calcium. 

NIGHT PRO can be used when meals are too far apart for some reason, or before going to bed. If you use pre- and intra-workout nutrition (including protein or amino acids), it may be preferable to include it as your post-workout protein! NIGHT PRO is a low-fat product with a high protein content.

Slow digesting protein is ideal for taking at night time otherwise you could potentially fall into a catabolic state which would obviously be problematic if you are trying to add mass or maintain muscle.

There are very few carbs/sugar/fat included in Night Pro this means you haven't got to worry too much if you are on a fat loss cycle.

Taste

I had the vanilla flavour and it was very nice, it mixed up very well and didn’t leave an aftertaste. It had a smooth texture and was very easy to drink.

Side Effects

None

Price

£26.59 for a tub with 36 servings in.

Results

Night Pro is obviously for use before bed so there are certain things that Night Pro needs to be good at. Firstly it needs to be comprised mostly of slow digesting protein – Night Pro's primary protein source is Casein. Then the shake needs to be drinkable – Night Pro tastes pretty good and doesn’t have any side effects which brings me on to my next point. The shake shouldn’t bloat you or make you feel uncomfortable. This is very important because who wants to be uncomfortable in bed, if you aren’t sleeping you aren’t recovering and that almost defeats the object of the shake so it’s a good thing that Night Pro doesn’t cause any discomfort at all.

So Night Pro accomplishes exactly what it set out to. The fact that its reasonably priced as well means that this is pretty much the perfect bedtime shake.

If you want more carbs then I recommend blending some oats in to the vanilla flavour. Its delicious – I actually used this as a breakfast shake a few times.

Night Pro is an excellent choice for a slow digesting protein source. 9/10
