Vitargo Science

There are many other "sports drinks" on the market, but none like Vitargo. It is specially formulated to reload glycogen inthe muscles 70% quicker after activity than other traditional sport drinks.

So what is Vitargo?

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:

• Recharging of the glycogen levels Vitargo - 70% quicker
• Passage through the stomach Vitargo - 80% quicker

Other sport and carbohydrate drinks are formulated on traditional carbohydrates used in the production of
normal grocery and confectionary products. Therefore
they do not meet the special demands of the athlete.

Now we are going to see what separates Vitargo from
other well-known energy and sport 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 sport drinks usually remain in your stomach,
  causing you discomfort?
• Is it difficult to ensure recovery through quick
  and effective replenishment?

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.

"...It has generally been accepted that prolonged submaxi- mal exercise is limited by the availability of muscle and liver glycogen stores and that these stores increase when carbohydrate intake is high (BergstroÈ m and Hultman 1967; BergstroÈ m et al. 1967)..."
