Unlock Your Muscle-Building Potential

Build Muscle and Strength While You Sleep

 

Most growth is not in the gym during your training— it’s outside of the gym, and more specifically, while you rest/sleep. Eight hours of uninterrupted sleep is the best time for growth and recovery potential. Without quality sleep, you could do biceps curls, squats and deadlifts until the cows come home but you won’t see the gains you want. To maximize muscle recovery while you sleep, CYTOSPORT SLEEPING GIANT™ could be the most important training partner you’ve ever had to help unlock your muscle-building potential.

 

Sweet Dreams of Recovery

CYTOSPORT SLEEPING GIANT™ Nighttime Protein Supplement Mix supports the body’s natural ability to repair muscle and recover during sleep. Quality sleep equals better recovery and more muscle growth. To get you primed for this anabolic snoozefest, each serving provides a unique blend of high-quality (slow releasing) micellar casein, tart cherry powder, melatonin, tryptophan and magnesium. Let’s take a closer look at the ingredients in CYTOSPORT SLEEPING GIANT™ and see how they will benefit your sleep, muscle recovery and gains.

• The optimal serving of melatonin and the addition of magnesium promotes relaxation and enhances overall sleep quality. CYTOSPORT SLEEPING GIANT™ provides 25 percent daily value (DV) of magnesium.

• 1,100 milligrams of tryptophan to help keep you in REM sleep.

• 30 grams of high-quality micellar casein protein, specially sourced to mix amazingly easily with only a spoon.

• Tart cherry powder, which may reduce inflammation and has been shown to further boost melatonin levels.

 

For Muscle Gains, Sleep On It

Getting a good night’s sleep to repair and rebuild muscle has never been easier. Enjoy CYTOSPORT SLEEPING GIANT™ before bedtime, and wake up recovered and strong to hit the gym in the morning. CYTOSPORT SLEEPING GIANT™ tastes great cold, and it tastes even better hot. And like the rest of the NEW CYTOSPORT®Brand line, it’s NSF®Certified for Sport(free of banned substances).

Why Sleep Is Critical for Recovery and Protein Synthesis

Sleeping less than seven to eight hours per night can ruin your health and increase the risk of heart attack, stroke and diabetes. Poor sleep patterns impair metabolic health, promote abdominal obesity, increase insulin levels, diminish blood sugar regulation, trigger abnormal blood fats and raise blood pressure. Warning signs include snoring and daytime sleepiness. You need adequate sleep for recovery and restoration. Lack of sleep leaves you fatigued, achy and disoriented. Sleep is critical for protein synthesis. Lack of sleep causes tissue breakdown marked by increases in catabolic hormones such as cortisol, and decreases in anabolic hormones such as testosterone and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). Inadequate sleep slows pathways involved in protein synthesis, increases protein breakdown and promotes loss of muscle mass and muscle degradation. In athletes, inadequate sleep slows injury repair and tissue recovery. In older adults, sleep deprivation contributes to sarcopenia— the loss of muscle tissue.
