• Vitargo – ¡marca la diferencia!

Desarrollado para satifacer al deportista más exigente

Vitargo es el único carbohidrato desarrollado y patentado que aporta a los deportistas con fundamentos necesarios para el mejor rendimiento. Otras bebidas y suplementos de carbohidratos contienen carbohidratos tradicionales usados en la fabricación de artículos de pastelería o alimentarios, insuficientes para satisfacer las necesidades del atleta.

El suplemento que aumenta el rendimiento

Una dieta balanceada es la base del éxito. A los que entrenan y compiten les cuesta mucho satisfacer sus requisitos energéticos con la dieta diaria habitual.

Para alguien que pesa entre 70 y 75 kilos los dietistas recomiendan, tres días antes de competir, 600 g de carbohidratos de origen alimentario por día. Para cubrir estos valores uno necesitaría comer ¡cerca de 5 kilos de patatas o 2,5 kilos de pasta hervida al día! Con Vitargo podemos cargar carbohidratos de un modo mucho más conveniente.

¡Evite la barriga llena!

3 a 4 horas antes de una competición, cuando tenemos que llenarnos el estómago con pasta, arroz o patatas, ¡qué difícil es participar con la barriga llena de comida y rendir lo mejor de nosotros! Con Vitargo podemos cargar ese extra de carbohidratos, controlando, al mismo tiempo, los alimentos que consumimos en la dieta.

Sports Nutrition

The basis for success in sports is a well balanced diet. People who train and compete a lot have great difficulty in satisfying their total needs of easy accessible energy through their diet. This is where Vitargo® comes into the picture.It is not easy to give exact recommendations on how much Vitargo should be used.

In order to do this requires more detailed information e.g. the balance in the diet, how much energy is used, the person's weight, their sex, the type of sport etc.

All of these parameters are very individual and therefore differ from person to person.General guidelines on how to use Vitargo are written on the packaging from which the individual can later work out for him/her self the necessary dosage to achieve the desired effects.If you would like to know more about how your diet can affect your sporting performance, you can find further information under the headings: The Diet; Energy Distribution and Physical Activities.

How to eat as an athlete

For example: Intensive training's plate model

If you play sport and are a high-energy user, the plate model would look something like this:

½ plate with carbohydrates (pasta, rice, potatoes)

1/4 plate with meat, fish or chicken

1/4 plate with vegetables

At mealtimes you would eat brown or white bread, drink milk or water and normally eat fruit as a dessert. Depending on your energy requirements you may eat one or several of these portions and with extra hard training may also include extra portions of pasta, potatoes or bread and drink more liquids.

Before a competition or an extra hard training session one doesn't want to carry around these extra portions so Vitargo is an excellent compliment. You eat according to the plate method till you are full up and then in between mealtimes supplement your diet with carbohydrates in the form of Vitargo.

The Diet

A normal diet for a western man between the ages of 19-29 gives on average 2500-3000 kcal/day. Of this energy 15% comes from protein, 35% from fat and 50% from digestible carbohydrates. This means that a normal western man takes in around 310-375grams of digestible carbohydrates from his basic diet.

A normal diet for a western woman between the ages of 19-29 gives on average 2000-2500 kcal/day. This means that a normal western woman takes in around 250-310grams of digestible carbohydrates per day.

The problem with a "normal" person and a "normal" diet is that it doesn't describe a sportsman's reality. Sportsmen are usually more concerned about what they eat and often have a lower fat energy -% and a higher carbohydrate energy-% than is the case for a "normal" person. Besides this the sportsman's consumption of food per day is far greater than that of a "normal" person, as they use more energy in their physical exertions, which leads to an increased appetite.

Vitargo should be used to compensate the difference between the daily requirements of digestible carbohydrates and the amount received through the basic diet.

If extra glycogen stocks are required, as with carbohydrate loading before competition, it is necessary to decrease the amount used in training, so that the additional carbohydrates can be stored as glycogen and not burnt up directly with hard muscular activity.

Vitargo should be taken in addition to one's normal diet, it cannot be used as a substitute for ordinary food.

Energy Distrubution

Today's food lacks energy that comes from digestible carbohydrates and has a high fat content. Energy's composition has during the past 100 years changed. From previously having had a composition of 12% fat, 13% protein and 75% carbohydrates, to today where the breakdown is 15% protein, 35-40% fat and 45-50% digestible carbohydrates. Of these carbohydrates, sugars of low molecular structure have increased by 500%. The effects of these changes can be seen in present day so called "good living diseases".

Physical Activity

One hours running training with a 70% VO2max intensity (which represents about 16 on the so-called Borg-scale and around a 160 pulse rate for a 20 year old i.e. intensive training), burns about 1000kcal in a man who weighs 80-85kg. At such an intense level of training around 80% of energy comes from carbohydrates.

This means to say that with such intensive training around 200 grams of carbohydrates are used up.

This increases the need for carbohydrates, which as a result means that carbohydrate stock levels become depleted and need to be replenished so the body has a chance to recover before the next activity.

The carbohydrate reserves are stored as glycogen in the muscles and liver.

Total reserves can reach about 300-500 grams in a "normal" person and up to 1kg for an elite athlete at maximum stock levels.

Especially important is the replenishment of depleted stock levels after an intense work out, when training daily or even several times a day.

If this not happens there is a risk that glycogen stock levels will be emptied and causes fatigue which can result in an ineffective training session.

What amount of digestible carbohydrates would need to be consumed outside of the basic diet to cover the carbohydrate requirements of training/competition?Under carbohydrate burning are the tables you need.

Why Vitargo?

2007-09-07T03:32:00.000-07:00

The choice of sports- and energy drinks, carbohydrate supplements etc. is enormous.

The consumer has no easy choice when it comes to deciding which product he/she should use. It's easy to get lost in the maze of chemical terminology like osmolality, glucose polymers, maltodextrin, dextrose etc. etc.We are now going to sort out once and for all the whole concept of energy drinks and it will become clear then why Vitargo® is the better alternative than the other carbohydrate supplements on the market!
Carbohydrates in sports and energy drinks consist of broken down starches. On the contents label you will often find ingredients described as maltodextrin, glucose syrup, and dextrose(glucose). These mixtures can also be called for example hydrolysed starch, complex carbohydrates and glucose polymers.Besides these ingredients, most products also contain ordinary sugar.Starch is usually produced from corn, wheat, barley or potatoes.
Starch is a giant molecule that is built up of long chains of which glucose is the smallest part. This means that if starch is completely broken-down one is left with a glucose solution (called dextrose in powder form).

Maltodextrin and starch syrup are starch products which, relatively speaking, are well broken-down. The level of breakdown is described by the average molecular weight.

To understand what this means we have taken the most common carbohydrate sources and listed their average molecular weight to serve as a guide:

Starch > 250 000 000
Vitargo® 500 000 - 700 000
Maltodextrin 1 000 - 1 0000
Starch syrup 250 - 1 000
Dextrose 180

Vitargo® has an average molecular weight that is about 100 times greater than those carbohydrates currently being used in sport and energy drinks.

Vitargo® contains no simple carbohydrates or monosaccharides.

* Usually this mix is occuring in ready-made-drinks: Water/Sugar/Maltodextrine or Water/Glucose syrup/Fructose syrup. Minerals as Sodiumchlorid(salt) is often added.
* In a powder sports drink, this mix is often occurring: Sucrose/maltodextrin/dextrose or dextrose/sugar/maltodextrin. Also pure maltodextrin is occurring in some drinks. Minerals as Sodiumchlorid(salt) is often added.

Vitargo sports drinks is 100% free from sugar. The carbohydrate source is the barley amylopectine starch Vitargo!

Vitargo – a winning choice!

During activity A lot of athletes have at some time had stomach-churning experiences in connection to competition.

What do we mean by this?
We know it is not enough to just look at the fluid in-take during long physical activities, but also energy supplements in the form of carbohydrates.
The choice of carbohydrate is essential if you are to achieve your best results and avoid stomach problems. If you choose a carbohydrate which is well broken down i.e. a short molecular structure such as sugar or glucose syrup, the possibility of experiencing stomach problems is increased.
On the other hand if you choose a carbohydrate which is of similar structure to starch i.e. a long molecular structure like Vitargo®, you have made a winning choice.

To explain this more simply, the more broken-down a starch is the higher osmolality it has in a water solution. Osmolality affects the stomach in such a way that a high osmolality gives a slower rate of passage through the stomach. Besides that water is retained in the stomach longer as a high osmolality binds water to it through something called osmotic effect.Solutions that have a lower osmolality than blood are called hypotonic. The more hypotonic a solution is the quicker it passes through the stomach into the intestine where energy uptake occurs. It is also possible that a low osmolality can have a beneficial effect working as a pump into the blood stream.

Vitargo® has the lowest osmolality on the market that gives an ultra-hypotonic solution.
The energy will in the most rapid way get into the bloodstream!Vitargo® minimises the risk of stomach problems and yet is a winning choice in the hunt for quick energy!

Loading / re-loading Clinical studies at the Karolinska Institute, Sweden, shows that Vitargo® loads and re-loads carbohydrates more effectively than ordinary sport/carbohydrate drinks. The explanation as to why Vitargo is so much better than the others differs according to different researchers, but the fact remains that Vitargo® is the quickest and most effective way to reset the energy balance in the body.Those who first noticed the difference between Vitargo® and other carbohydrate supplements were athletes in physically demanding endurance sports such as triathlon, marathon, cross country skiing and cycling. They found that they lasted longer, recovered quicker and the number of infections and over training symptoms decreased.
In recent time, strength sports athletes report that Vitargo gives a great “pump” in the muscles, they increase strength and recover quicker.In other words if you try Vitargo® products once, then you're locked. Elite athletics is all about winning, with focused training and Vitargo® you have all the tools you need for success.

What is Vitargo?

2007-09-07T03:28:00.000-07:00

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.

Welcome to Vitargo!

Now we are going to see what separates Vitargo® from other well-known energy and sports drink carbohydrates on the market.

We're even going to look at what you the consumer should look at when choosing your energy drink.

Do you eat loads of pasta the day before a big race or activity, which just bloats your stomach?Do sports drinks usually remain in your stomach, causing you discomfort?

Is it difficult to ensure recovery through quick and effective replenishment?

We are pleased to announce the launching of a new and unique sports drink and its product line where all of these problems will just fade away into a distant memory.

The carbohydrate Vitargo® has been developed to meet the needs and demands of elite athletes. Vitargo® passes through the stomach quickly and allows the storing of glycogen in the body in the most effective way. The benefit of this is that you are able to eat your "normal" portions of food without being concerned that you lack the necessary glycogen and energy levels.

Vitargo é uma revolução para todos os desportos: musculação, ciclismo, futebol, basquetebol, e muitos outros.

Vitargo é um carbohidrato único, especialmente desenvolvido para dar um eficaz armazenamento de energia muscular no corpo.

Vitargo recarrega o glicogénio mais rapidamente que uma bebida energética “normal”. Estudos realizados indicam também que Vitargo aumenta a performance de forma mais eficaz que as bebidas energéticas “normais” quando tomado durante a prática de desporto de resistência.

Sugestão de Uso:

Carga: Antes de uma competição ou teino, deve estar carregado de glicogénio. Isto é possível se complementar uma dieta equilibrada com Vitargo durante os últimos dias antes da prova.

Recomendação: uma dose por dia, durante os três dias antes da competição. Para ser bebido entre refeições.

Recarga: Depois de uma competição ou treino, tem pouca ou nenhuma energia restante nos músculos. Agora é altura de reabastecer. É um facto que a capacidade do corpo armazenar glicogénio é maior após esforço. Com Vitargo logo depois da competição ou treino, o corpo recupera mais depressa. Pode treinar mais intensamente sem aumentar o risco de sintomas de excesso de treino.Recomendação: 1 dose logo após competição/treino.

Durante competição e treino: Durante trabalho físico que dure mais do que 45 minutos, o consumo de água deve conter carbohidratos. Recomendações: 1 dose por hora.

Preparação: Vitargo dissolve-se mais lentamente devido às suas propriedades, em comparação com outras bebidas energéticas, por isso as instruções devem ser seguidas com atenção.Encher um 1/3 de garrafa (200 ml) com água e adicionar o 75g de vitargo. Agitar vigorosamente durante 1-2 minutos. Depois juntar mais água (solução total 750 ml).

Ingredientes: Amido de cevada.
