VitargoÒ is a unique
patented carbohydrate, specially formulated
for elite athletes to give an effective loading of easily accessible muscle energy
(glycogen) to the body. VitargoÒ has been clinically tested at the Karolinska Institute, Stockholm and
compared with other "ordinary" sport carbohydrate drinks. The results showed
that VitargoÒ 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 |
VitargoÒ 70% quicker |
| Passage through the stomach |
VitargoÒ 80% quicker |

In short this means:
Þ VitargoÒ stays in the stomach for just a
short time and therefore does not cause discomfort during physical activity.
Þ VitargoÒ 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.
Þ Carbohydrate
storing with VitargoÒ
assures you of good glycogen levels whilst eating normally without the fear of it
affecting your endurance.
Þ VitargoÒ 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.
