ProgenexCocoon | Micellar Casein Protein Powder | Nighttime Rest and Muscle Recovery Supplement and Sleep Aid | 30 Servings, Silk Chocolate

I've been taking Cocoon for about a month now and I can say, without a doubt, it's made a world of difference in my recovery. I used to have a hard time falling and staying asleep. With the addition of the tryptophan that's in Cocoon, I'm able to fall asleep quickly and stay asleep until my alarm goes off. The slow release proteins are great too. They've allowed me to wake up more recovered and less sore and ready to go again for another tough workout.For anyone concerned about the taste, the Cinnamon Slumber tastes like the milk that is leftover after Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal. I would definitely recommend that you follow the instructions and drink it warm however.

I'm not a fan of Casein shakes. Progenex has found a way to make it taste good!!! Not weird chalky taste. Make sure you read the instructions!! Add warm water for the best results.The price is worth it.

The flavor is much better than other proteins out there however it was almost too sweet to drink right before bed. I've been trying to think of bitter things to add and vodka is the only thing I've come up with and but that seems counterintuitive. I didn't notice much of a difference in how I slept or felt the next day though.

After the honey moon affect wears off, the flaws of this product are apparent. Pros: I am able to get some rest and sleep through the whole night without waking up. I go to sleep at around 10:30 and wake up refreshed consistently around 4:30am. I don’t have to get up till 6:30 so I get a snack and go back to bed.The rest is a huge plus because I have a hectic work schedule while raising two kids and taking care of wifey. I’m at the gym at 6 and feel pretty banged up as I’m feeling age catching up. I usually take melatonin to wind down but I don’t need to after taking this before sleep. The taste is really tasty no doubt, especially if you add almond milk instead of water. I love that it contains casein protein feeding my muscles all through the night. Definitely takes away the midnight cravings. Now the cons: it doesn’t mix well at all. It’s probably the worse mixing protein I’ve ever purchased for that fact. It says to mix it in shaker bottle but it creates more inconvenience especially when it contains scalding hot water in it. One night I shook It up and he pressure from the temperature made the top burst open spilling everywhere and burning my hand. So I stir it as best as possible in a mug. The clumps taste very chemically as well.You can tell this is a quality product. Overpriced for the servings you get especially if you’re on a budget. I’m thinking of next time buying some Caron protein and getting some zma pills or continue taking melatonin for similar results. And who ever says this thing takes soreness completely away is not doing the same workouts at our box cuz I’m still wrecked, although not as wrecked I can honestly say. It’s not A magic supplement. But I can tell it works. I’m sure I’ll be able to tell even more when I run out. By then I’ll either give this another star or remove one, depending how the second half of this goes.

My crossfit box promoted/sold all of Progenex's products, so I took all of the recommendations I got with a grain of salt. I was also nervous about trying Cocoon because I am lactose intolerant and have several other food sensitivities such as gluten, but after 3 days of using the product I've had no stomach issues. It tastes like swiss miss hot chocolate, but I suspect it would taste chalky if consumed cold. I made the mistake of taking drinking mine while finishing up work before bed. Let's just say the tryptophan kicked in and sleep outweighed my work deadline! The morning after taking Cocoon, I have consistently felt refreshed and less sore that usual post-WOD.

I did not feel that this helped me sleep, by any means. The ingredients contain multiple types of sugars for flavoring. It definitely needs to be consumed warm and it was a little too sweet.

I had sampled this product once before a few years ago & vaguely remember the sleepy effect it had on me. I was looking for a quality casein protein to drink before bed. I recalled this one. I have been lifting rigorously & have been extremely sore. I forgot to take it one night & the next day could barely walk. That night I remembered to take it & tge next morning my muscles felt 80% better than they had the day before. I was shocked at how noticeablely less sore I felt. It also has helped me to get to sleep & stay sleeping. I start feeling drowsy within 20min. Cocoon is an absolute staple in my nighttime routine now. I wake up feeling rested and recovered!

I just started using it this week and it's AMAZING!! It tastes really good and is very soothing. I love it!
