Because more than 40 percent of Americans don’t get the ideal amount of sleep each night, sleep is a hot topic among sport medicine physicians and scientists. Seven of 10 adults experience so much daily stress that it disrupts their nightly sleep. Athletes are no different – if anything, they experience greater-than-average stress and its negative effects on their sleep. In fact, two-thirds of athletes report worse-than-normal sleep the night before a competition. For example, an evaluation of professional hockey players showed the number of players who report sleep disturbances doubles during the season compared to off-season. And student athletes who sleep less than eight hours a night are twice as likely to suffer an injury.

RecoveryPro® a synergistic blend of four proven ingredients to moderate stress, support restful sleep, and optimize nighttime muscle recovery.* It contains a unique blend of whey protein, tryptophan, natural-source GABA (PharmaGABA®), and well-absorbed magnesium bisglycinate in a chocolate-flavored powder that mixes easily in water and tastes great hot or cold. When taken before sleep, RecoveryPro works to support restful sleep*, optimizes nighttime muscle recovery*, enhances lean muscle mass while you sleep*, and can lower cortisol to help modulate stress.* 

Melaton-3, which contains 3 mg of melatonin per capsule, helps maintain your normal sleep-wake cycle – your circadian rhythm.* In an individual who has difficulty sleeping or has altered circadian rhythms – such as occurs in jet lag and night shift work – supplementation with melatonin promotes the resynchronization of this cycle.* An adequate melatonin level has been reported to be a positive factor in cardiovascular, neuroendocrine, and bone health.* Research indicates melatonin exerts its sleep-promoting action by decreasing the amount of time it takes to fall asleep – by improving the ability to stay asleep and by enhancing the depth of sleep.*

Multi-Vitamin Elite provides two multi-vitamin/mineral formulas to meet daytime and nighttime needs. The A.M. formula helps boost energy during the daytime, while the P.M. formula supports rest and recovery at night.* The P.M. formula contains more minerals, and also contains Relora®, a proprietary blend of two plant extracts shown to curb late-night food cravings, optimize the stress hormone cortisol, aid in weight management, and support restful sleep.*

Thorne’s Multi-Vitamin Elite was studied in cyclists. Despite sleeping in a new environment and experiencing pre-race anxiety, the cyclists who took the Multi-Vitamin Elite P.M. formula the night before an endurance race reported that they fell asleep 28 minutes sooner and achieved better sleep quality compared to two control groups – with no reported side effects.* 

Because an athlete needs to know that his or her nutritional supplements are trustworthy and quality compliant, every batch of an NSF Certified for Sport® product is tested for compliance with the claims on its product label and to ensure the absence of more than 200 substances banned by many major athletic organizations, including stimulants, narcotics, steroids, diuretics, beta-2 agents, and masking agents.
