Nocté promotes restful sleep; it improves the health and performance of active people, and improves immune function. Nocté contains slow release proteins, or agents that promote slow release, it enables supplementation with minerals such as zinc and magnesium throughout the night when you are asleep. This is the best time for zinc and magnesium supplementation.

Nocté is available in chocolate flavour and vanilla flavour. Suitable for vegetarians.

Improves Performance by Improving Quality of SleepNocté contains lactalbumin the highest naturally occurring tryptophan content of any protein. Evening intake of lactalbumin has been shown to improve sleep and morning alertness. Nocté’s unique formulation also contains Magnesium shown to help reduce muscle twitching and restless leg syndrome. Typical milky drinks are relatively low in tryptophan and contain high levels of Calcium that can reduce Magnesium and exacerbate poor sleep.

Accelerates Overnight RecoveryNocté contains 27g of a special protein complex that delivers amino acids into the blood stream through the night to maintain the bodies protein pool so maintaining substrate availability. Muscle repair can continue without further feeding or stripping out vital proteins from other areas.

Boosts Adaptation to Exercise While You SleepSleep Maybe Athletes Best Performance Booster - Sleep is a common problem in the general population, and more so in athletes because of their training intensity. Poor quality sleep has serious implications for general health as well as athletic performance. Lack of sleep or poor quality sleep can reduce cardio-vascular performance by 11% and slow glusose metabolism by 30-40%, and increase appetite. induced cravings for inappropriate foods causes weight gain and other wide ranging implications for athletes. Your body will naturally adapt and recover from exercise and the rigours of the day when you sleep.

Good quality sleep is essential for good quality adaptation and recovery. Science in Sport ,leaders in sports nutrition, and winners of the Queens Award for Innovation, has produced Nocté, to ensure that adaptation and recovery are optimized. Extensive research and analysis of recent scientific findings concerning “lack of sleep” and “poor quality sleep”, and taking advantage of the latest breaks-through in food technology’ led to the development of Nocté. Nocté will aid “good quality sleep” and optimise the metabolic and hormonal environment to improve the adaptation to exercise during good quality sleep.

Science in Sport where the first to harness the Protein Kinetics System to utilise different protein absorption rates to create a range of protein products. REGO Nocté the Night Time Recovery Drink for Athletes was given the Runners World Nutrition Product of the year for its innovation. Now Science in Sport have taken Nocté to a whole new level combining the Protein Kinetics System with the latest scientific research linking nutrition and sleep. By harnessing the latest ingredient technologies it has been possible to create the right metabolic and hormonal environment to improve the quality of sleep and work with the body to optimize the adaptation to exercise.

Nocté promotes restful sleep; it improves the health and performance of active people, and improves immune function. Nocté contains slow release proteins, or agents that promote slow release, it enables supplementation with minerals such as zinc and magnesium throughout the night when you are asleep. This is the best time for zinc and magnesium supplementation. Going to bed on an empty stomach causes muscle breakdown (Protein catabolism) in athletes and sportspeople and anyone-else, particularly people doing intense exercise. Nocté is formulated such that each of the main ingredients, tryptophan (from the alpha-lactalbumin), vitamin B6, zinc and magnesium, and fructo-ogilosaccharides are in forms that work synergistically to improve absorption. They help each other to be absorbed slowly overnight. The level of natural tryptophan is high and this helps sleep and facilitates the absorption of the minerals and vitamins in a slow release protein formula that is low in calcium. (Calcium would interfere with the process and in particular will reduce the absorption of the zinc and magnesium.) In each serving (40g of Nocté) there are 26g of protein that is low in calories and low in fat.

Nocté does not result in a large spike in plasma amino acid levels which would trigger increased protein oxidation instead it feeds the body steadily with amino acids during sleep so that the body is not “eating itself” overnight.

Rapidly absorbed protein will result in protein synthesis but also increase protein oxidation such that the body can soon end up with a negative nitrogen balance if more protein is not consumed within a relatively short period of time. This would typically happen in exercising athletes when they sleep. Many athletes report waking up hungry during the night. Nocté is designed to feed the body overnight during full periods of restful sleep.

"If you go to multi-day races or training holidays, you'll notice your body start to flag as the week goes by. This night-time protein drink (REGO Nocté) seems to make a difference by slowly releasing nutrients into the body from the stomach. If means you can race harder and assimilate your training better it's worth considering" - Runners World, February 2002
