Simethicone: “it is possible that the liberated GI gas is more readily absorbed through the intestinal mucosa into the blood stream because of the change in surface tension and the reduction of adherent mucus.”
Simethicone is an effective defoaming agent both in vitro and in vivo. Gas bubbles coalesce and are dispersed by means of its surface action.

Protein (casein, 40g) ingested by athletes immediately before sleep is effectively digested and absorbed. KB.
If protein is consumed not as a drink but in a more traditional form, for instance, as a piece of meat, nocturnal digestion may interfere with sleep by spiking body temperature and cortisol levels. Higher cortisol increases muscle breakdown. Several studies found that higher cortisol levels resulting from large meals consumed late in the evening produced an increase in abdominal adiposity. We should, therefore, take the results of the study (1) with caution.
