5% Rich Piana : Knocked The Fuck Out Sleep Aid

5% Nutrition provides a new hard-hitting product in the form of a night-time formula to assist optimal sleep to maximise recovery, build muscle and burn fat. This product is packed with an endless list of well researched ingredients to help promote a deeper sleep state and to ensure that full recovery from a strenuous workout is achieved. Getting a good night’s sleep is difficulty at the best of times and a common problematic area for many of us. Not getting in the right quality of sleep will impair our bodies recovery process and not recover the full benefits of an intense training regime. A lack of adequate sleep also increases the amount of stress hormones insulin and cortisol leading to an increase of fat storage and muscle tissue wastage.

Those who have tried this product have never looked back and recommend this product to help to improve the quality of your sleep. The honey lemon tea flavour provides a soothing and calm touch to help you to nod off into the deepest sleep you’ll ever have. Our hormone levels peak when asleep and the bodies release of growth hormone is highest during the first part of the night, so when we cut our sleep short we disrupt the bodies release of this critical hormone for muscle recovery. Growth hormone can increase lean body mass, enhance muscle strength and decrease fat mass. If we are not getting in the adequate length or quality of sleep, then we are compromising our recovery process and jeopardising our quest for a better body.

Knocked the fuck out contains 14 different sleep promoting ingredients including GABA, l-tyrosine, chamomile flower extract, tryptophan, melatonin to name a few. A few of the core ingredients are highlighed below.

Melatonin is a key ingredient in knocked the fuck out. It is a physiological hormone involved in sleep timing and is currently used for its therapeutic effects in the treatment of sleep disorders. The results from a meta-analysis from this year found that supplementing with this ingredient resulted in reducing sleep onset latency in primary insomnia, regulated sleep-wake patterns and delayed sleep phase syndrome.

Tryptophan is another key ingredient and is an amino acid that is commonly used for the treatment of sleep disorders, anxiety and cognitive disorders as it helps synthesise serotonin and melatonin. Tryptophan is considered to play a significant role in the correct functionality of the brain-gut axis and immunology. Users of this product can expect to see their quality of their sleep improve dramatically and see the physical manifestations of this in the form of optimal recovery, build more muscle and experience greater fat loss. These are only two of the fourteen research backed ingredients in knocked the fuck out that will knock you out like a light when taken before sleeping.
