Drink Sleep Grow® contains an advanced BCAA Blend that stands out from the crowd with a timed-release form of L-Leucine known as L-Leucine (Active-TR™). This advanced form of Leucine is time-released and only starts the absorption process approximately 2 hours after ingesting, making it ideal for nighttime use. This translates into an extended stimulation of protein synthesis in the body and the ultimate support for muscle growth and recovery.(1)
Glutamine - A big part of dealing with the stress of an intense workout is recovery and that’s where Glutamine comes in. This is an amino acid that can help keep you in an anabolic state and it’s no coincidence that it works synergistically with the BCAAs to stimulate protein synthesis, act as an anti-catabolic during training, and promote post-workout recovery.
GABA (Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid) – This is a non-protein amino acid that acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter. This means that it helps to promote relaxation, which is critical to being able to fall asleep every night. Often used as a sleep aid, research indicates it also stimulates GH release.(2,3)
Mucuna Pruriens - This Ayurvedic herb is a natural source of L-Dopa which is a precursor to dopamine, a neurotransmitter that is involved in the release of GH.(4,5)
When you think of Carnitine you usually think of the transport of fats. Well, we have included this version of Carnitine because it also supports testosterone production and has anti-catabolic properties.
Healthy joints are an essential aspect of your success in the gym. While you can take a joint support formula during the day (we have our own, such as Joint Defender), why not replicate many of those same benefits while you sleep? It’s for that reason we’ve added a Joint Support Blend to Drink Sleep Grow®. After all, your joints need to recover too.
The latest clinical studies indicate that protein synthesis is stimulated to a greater degree if additional EAAs are included, which is why we have added them to the formula. You can count on 5% Nutrition when it comes to staying on top of the most recent research.
