Introduction
Since the Caesin vs Whey protein battle died down, many supplement companys have begun developing much a much more diverse range of protein supplements within there range. Not only are we seeing a mix of concentrates and isolates, we are now seeing protein supplements being "tailored" to perform best at different periods of the day. Timed release protein, or sustained release protein, is one such development. American supplement company, Nutrasport, claim to achieved something special, so we take a look at Nutrasport Nitrovarin-PLS, their new "night time" protein. Here's what Nutrasport have to say:

As you know, slow-release protein complexes you drink at night, before you go to bed, have become the hottest-selling new category of bodybuilding product since the introduction of creatine.

NutraSport™, the exclusive United States distributor of Cutting Gel™ and The Patented ECA Stack™, is proud to announce it has secured the rights to distribute the only 100% pure NitroVarin™ Slow-Release Night Time Protein Complex – under the trade name NitroVarin®-PLS.

NitroVarin®-PLS, the specially prepared, “slow-release” (patent-pending) protein complex specifically designed to overcome Nocturnal Post-absorptive Muscle Catabolism.

That’s right, while most companies have concentrated on producing super-absorbable pre- and post-workout protein powders, bars, and drinks, they have overlooked one of the most potentially productive anabolic periods of the day… that 6 - 8 hours when you sleep.

Now, we know what you’re thinking: “A protein shake before bed is gonna help me grow muscle while I sleep? Yeah, right.” Well, these amazing new compounds are not your “ordinary” daytime protein powder. Their structure and composition have been altered (through a unique patent-pending process) to maximize the anabolic character of slow-wave “Delta” sleep while effectively controlling the catabolic nature of the later stage of slumber known as “REM.” Sound confusing? Let’s look at the science.

It’s called Nocturnal (sleep-induced) Post-Absorptive Muscle Catabolism… better known in elite bodybuilding circles as “NPMC.” No, NPMC is not a disease. It’s a natural, everynight event that occurs during the later hours of sleep… after the release of Growth Hormone has abated… when your body’s ability to synthesize new protein (build new muscle mass) is drastically cut. NPMC affects everyone… reducing muscle growth during what should be the most productive muscle-building cycle (sleep).

So why haven’t you heard much about NPMC? Frankly, until the development of “slow-release” night time proteins, there was nothing you or anyone else could do about it
