Alpha-Lactalbumin Sleep Quality Randomized TrialResults : During the ALAC condition, the objective number of awakenings increased (CON: 10.25 ± 5.28, ALAC: 11.01 ± 5.79; p = 0.031), the average jump height reduced (CON: 28.58 ± 5.53 cm, ALAC: 27.68 ± 5.14 cm; p = 0.037), the subjective physical and mental performance capabilities declined in the evening ( p p = 0.001) were reduced.4Barnard J (2025)Pre-Sleep Alpha-Lactalbumin Supplementation Does Not Improve the Habitual Sleep and Performance of Sportspeople with Sleep Difficulties.
Alpha-Lactalbumin Sleep Quality Randomized TrialBackground : Many athletes experience sleep difficulties, and prior research within this cohort suggests that acute supplementation of alpha-lactalbumin (ALAC), a whey protein rich in the amino acid tryptophan, may improve sleep and performance.4Barnard J (2025)Pre-Sleep Alpha-Lactalbumin Supplementation Does Not Improve the Habitual Sleep and Performance of Sportspeople with Sleep Difficulties.
Alpha-Lactalbumin Sleep Quality Randomized TrialTherefore, this study investigated whether sub-chronic ALAC supplementation in the evening would improve sleep and physical performance within a poor-sleeping athletic population.4Barnard J (2025)Pre-Sleep Alpha-Lactalbumin Supplementation Does Not Improve the Habitual Sleep and Performance of Sportspeople with Sleep Difficulties.
