What is Vitargo®?

Vitargo® is a patented carbohydrate with unique properties, specially formulated for elite athletes to give an effective loading of easily accessible muscle energy (glycogen) in the body. Vitargo® is a considerably larger carbohydrate than ordinary sports drinks carbohydrates, the molecular structure reminds of glycogen (see table below). Vitargo® has been clinically tested at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, and compared with other ”ordinary” sport carbohydrate drinks. The results showed that Vitargo® was 70% quicker in replenishing glycogen levels1 and 80% quicker in passing through the stomach2 compared with the normal combinations of complex glucose polymers. For you as a consumer this means faster recovery, no stomach bloating, and the glycogen levels will be replenished in the fastest and most effective way. To preserve the “Vitargo®-effect”, it is important not to mix Vitargo® with sugars/sugar-like carbohydrates (glucose, fructose, maltodextrine). The Vitargo® product line is sugar free. German studies3 clearly demonstrate that a mix of Vitargo® and pure creatinemonohydrate increase muscle strength and produce weight gain considerably faster than a regular carbohydrate-creatine mix.

MUSCLE GAIN / RECOVERY

Vitargo Gainers Gold To benefit muscle gain and recovery, we have an optimised car- bohydrate-protein formula with Vitargo® Gainers Gold. This is a combination of first class proteins (whey protein, milk protein isolate, glutamine peptide and alpha-lactalbumin) and Vitargo®. Vitargo® Gainers Gold helps your body in the most effective way, to prevent infections and overtraining. For usage immediately after exercise as a recovery drink or as an in-between meal, to give extra energy during the day. Ratio Vitargo®:protein (2:1). No sugars added! Vitargo® Gainers Gold (chocolate or strawberry), 2kg plastic container. Minerals added. GAIN

STRENGTH / PERFORMANCE BOOSTER

Vitargo +Creatine Ever tried creatinemonohydrate? In combination with Vitargo® it is even more effective. Vitargo® helps the creatine transport into the muscle tissue, and at the same time effects your stamina and recovery during and after the exercise bouts. Vitargo® +Creatine makes you stronger and your muscles more explosive. German studies3 (see diagram) showed increase in strength, weight gain and muscular volume when using the same formula as Vitargo® +Creatine. 8,75g pure creatine per 100g powder. No sugars added! Vitargo® +Creatine (tropical), 2kg plastic container. Minerals added.
