Nighttime supplement timing

rjn001 · 09-17-2009, 01:40 PM

I'm looking for some help here as I've never taken either of these supplements before. I plan to start taking casein protein and ZMA next week, and I know its suggested you take the ZMA 30-60 minutes before sleeping on an empty stomach, so should I be taking the casein protein shake immediately before going to sleep or should the ZMA be the last thing I take?

Thanks,
RJ

I would take the ZMA 30-45 mins before the casein shake.

/\ This. Or something close. I go to bed at 10pm, so I take my ZMA at nine, then chug my casein at 10 and pow! Freaky ass weird dreams, compliments of ZMA and a good nights rest...

I have read that calcium reacts with the ZMA, so you need to consider that too if taking your caesin with milk.

That's why we're telling him to take the casein (w/milk) an hour apart from his ZMA.
