Casein and whole egg / Eight-hour window / Every dose printed
Casein digests over hours rather than minutes, and egg fat stretches that further, so amino acids are still arriving long after a whey shake has gone quiet. Four more ingredients work on the sleep itself.
Every serving: 34 g of complete protein from micellar casein and pasteurised whole egg powder, with all nine essential amino acids; 8 g of bioactive collagen peptides listed separately because collagen is not a complete protein; and a sleep-depth stack of 3 g glycine, 120 mg elemental magnesium as bisglycinate, 150 mg L-theanine and 480 mg Montmorency tart cherry. Seven ingredients, no proprietary blends, third-party tested. Contains milk and egg.
An isolate is engineered to arrive fast. That necessarily means it leaves fast. Plasma amino acids spike inside an hour and fall away well before the night is over.
Stoke Shake is built on micellar casein and pasteurised whole egg powder. Both are slow by nature: casein releases gradually as it digests, and the egg's fat slows the whole meal down further. Together they turn a spike into a curve that is still releasing during slow-wave sleep, the window where the growth hormone pulse lands and physical repair happens. The fat-soluble vitamins, choline and phospholipids come along because the yolk is still in there. Then four more ingredients work on the night itself, because an overnight window is worth nothing if the sleep is poor. Seven in total, every dose printed.
Read the scienceWhere it comes from
A milk fraction, a whole food and a cherry. Each one is in here for a reason that survives being asked about, and every dose is printed on the tub page.
30 g of powder, about 24 g of protein. It digests slowly by nature, which is why it is the protein the pre-sleep research keeps returning to. It is milk, and that is on the front of the tub rather than in the small print.
20 g, about 10 g of protein and 8 g of fat. The yolk is why it is in here: vitamins A, D, E and K, choline, and the phospholipids that come with an intact lipid structure. Using the whole egg keeps all of that at a cholesterol load you can take every night.
3 g glycine, 120 mg elemental magnesium as bisglycinate, 150 mg L-theanine and 480 mg Montmorency tart cherry: the named cultivar, chosen for the anthocyanins. Every other overnight protein claims a window and then does nothing to improve the sleep inside it.
Per serving: 61 g scoop
Third-party tested / Contains milk and egg
Fat and cholesterol come out of the formula itself: roughly 8 g and 300 mg, both from the whole egg. Calories and micronutrient amounts publish once final lab analysis is verified. We will not print a number we cannot stand behind.
We are not going to pretend micellar casein is a whole food. It is a milk fraction, and it is in here because it is the most-studied protein for the hours before sleep. The comparison worth making is against the other tub marketed for bedtime.
| Specification | Stoke Shake | A standard bedtime protein |
|---|---|---|
| Protein source | Micellar casein plus pasteurised whole egg powder | Casein alone, or whey with a slow claim |
| Complete protein | 34 g, casein and egg only | Headline figure, collagen often folded in |
| Collagen accounting | 8 g, listed on its own line | Added to the total to inflate it |
| Does anything for sleep | Four ingredients, each at its studied dose | Claims a night window, adds nothing to it |
| Release curve | Gradual by design: slow casein, slowed further by egg fat | Fast spike, short window |
| Label transparency | Seven ingredients, every dose printed | “Proprietary blend” |
| Allergens | Milk and egg, stated on the front | In the small print |
| Third-party testing | Every batch, COA on request | Rarely, and rarely published |
One tub. 30 nights. $100.00, about $3.33 a serving.
