Sleeping Supplement: Bullet Proof
When it comes to weight loss and training one of the most important components for your success is not only having a good amount of sleep, but having a deep restful sleep.
A few weeks back I came across the sleeping supplement by Muscle Pharm called Bullet Proof but I was very skeptical that it would be any good at all as I’ve tried quite a few different natural sleeping aids and none of them have worked very well, or if they have they have made me extremely groggy the next day.
If you’re like me and have a thousand things going through your head at night and either have a hard time falling asleep or staying asleep then keep reading…
Sleeping Supplement: Bullet Proof – 3 Day Test
So like I mentioned I’ve tried to stay from certain natural sleep aids like melatonin or similar herbs simply because they became ineffective or I would become too dependent on them. Sound familiar?
Well I heard lots of great things about Muscle Pharm’s Bullet Proof, it has been making waves in the fitness industry and have been given a rating of 9.1 out of 10 on Bodybuilding within 200 reviews. So I decided to give it a try and within 3 days I was surprised of the results!
On my first night taking I didn’t really notice any difference at all, and I was already nervous that it wasn’t going to live up to its hype.
On the second night I noticed I had a bit of hard time falling asleep but once I was asleep I slept almost straight through.
On the third night, I fell asleep almost instantly and slept right until my alarm went off. Holey crap, would it continue to work on the following nights?
You bet it does, Muscle Pharm Bullet Proof was in fact an awesome formula because it continues to work for me 3 weeks later and nothing is as good for giving you a wicked workout than having a really good night sleep the night before.
So what is in this magic formula anyway?
Sleeping Supplement: Bullet Proof – The Formula
If you take a close look at the ingredients you’ll notice Bullet Proof has one of the best natural sleep complex’s by the name of ZMA (aka Zinc Monomethionine Aspartate with Magnesium and Vitamin B6). This mineral/vitamin complex has been used for many years by athletes because it helps increase anabolic hormones and muscle strength. The ZMA also helps with muscle growth, endurance and restful sleep.
Another powerful component is a supplements which helps regulate our neurotransmitters which are related to excitability, this components is called GABA or Gamma Amino Butyric Acid. If you look at the wiki on GABA you’ll see that is is also directly responsible for the regulation of muscle tone!
Pretty awesome so far, but Muscle Pharm Bullet Proof takes it further and includes muscle recovery amino acids such as Gltuamine, Beta-Alanine and BCAA’s.
All I can say is BRILLIANT! No wonder this stuff works as well as it does.
Sleeping Supplement: Bullet Proof – The Cons
What if any are the cons of Bullet Proof? Well the first and most important is that if you take this on a full stomach then it’s effectiveness becomes much more limited.
Also if you don’t leave an adequate amount of time for your sleep then you may find that it is actually a little hard to wake up.
Other than that, I wish they would take out the artificial color and even reduce the amount of sucralose to make it a little more tasty. One trick I did find though is that if you mix it with lots of ice then it pretty much tastes like a freezy!
Sleeping Supplement: Bullet Proof – Conclusion
I think this is one of those supplements you have to try for yourself to see the benefits. The ingredients will help you have a deep restful sleep but will also help you increase your muscle to fat ratio and have more muscle tone as well. I would recommend to anyone training intensely, it has all the right components to make all your hard work in the gym worth it. At under a $1 per serving ($35 for 40 servings) it is definitely worth the investment. Here is the link – Muscle Pharm Bullet Proof.
