Vitargo® is a unique patented carbohydrate, specially formulated for elite athletes to give an effective loading of easily accessible muscle energy (glycogen) to the body. Vitargo® has been clinically tested at the Karolinska Institute, Stockholm and compared with other "ordinary" sport carbohydrate drinks. The results showed that Vitargo® was quicker in replenishing glycogen levels* and passing through the stomach.Compared with the normal combinations of complex glucose polymers, Vitargo®'s results showed:
Re-charging of glycogen levels Vitargo® 70% quicker
Passage through the stomach Vitargo® 80% quicker
In short this means:
→ Vitargo® stays in the stomach for just a short time and therefore does not cause discomfort during physical activity.
→ Vitargo® does not absorb water (fluid) from the body's reserves, quite the opposite it can actually increase the water supply into the blood stream by acting as a sort of pump during the activity.
→ Carbohydrate storing with Vitargo® assures you of good glycogen levels whilst eating normally without the fear of it affecting your endurance.
→ Vitargo® also helps replenish your glycogen levels most efficiently if you take it immediately after training/competition. This helps you retain a positive energy balance that counters over training symptoms and means you are less likely to be susceptible to infections.
