Prebedtime snack

[mvasquez830]

Was thinking of subtituting by prebedtime casein shake with some aminos just dunno which to choose from.
Theres, bcaa, eaa, and amino acids, carnatine, arginine, orthine, or glutamine.

Which should I choose from? and how many grams.

none of the above. FFAA are not what you are going for; the digestion rate is too quick, and most of the ones you listed would be basically useless/wasted pre-bed. BCAA, EAA, A, O in particular. Carnitine still doesn't make much sense (and is not a replacement to slow-digestion protein), glutamine is consternated about if there is actually any effect to it in this application - but it still falls into the problem of carnitine.

The casein pre-bed is the best option you have so far. The slower digestion rate helps maintain out of a catabolic state.

what about going old school and doing a egg (albumin protein) and milk (casein and albumin protein) in a shake?
Is this a good idea?
or do Arginine 5gm and Glutamine 5gm?
