• Many people ask the glycemic Index of carbs in common. A sports drink should have a high glycemic index, giving a rapid and easily accessible energy to the bloodstream and this is the case of Vitargo. No exact value is known at the moment, but insulin and blood glucose values indicates higher GI than for maltodextrin […]

  • Carbohydrate improves creatine absorption by causing an increase in insulin secretion which improves the storage of creatine. Creatine storage can be improved by taking Vitargo together with creatine. Ingesting Vitargo raises blood sugar levels and therefore the secretion of insulin, an endogenous hormone.  The improved uptake of creatine into the muscles is attributed to stimulation […]

  • Yes, Vitargo contains less than 20 ppm gluten (test:ELISA, r-Biopharm)

  • Vitargo is a huge carbohydrate molecule compared to ordinary carbohydrates used in sports drinks. Because of this Vitargo is more difficult to dissolve. Use a blender ball in your shaker bottle, and fill the bottle/shaker with 200 ml of water, then add the powder and shake vigorously for 30 seconds. Add 500-600 ml of water […]

  • The honest answer here is that you certainly can eat those foods, but if you are pre-fueling before training, you will need to eat those foods many hours prior to training to ensure that the carbs are digested and in your bloodstream, liver and muscle cells to fuel your training. If you eat them right […]

  • Vitargo is a unique, patented carbohydrate form that has an extremely high molecular weight, giving it the property of very low osmolality, or very low tendency to attract or draw water out of the surrounding tissues. This all by itself will create a sense of comfort and no bloating. All other sports beverages have a […]

  • Vitargo can be made from most plant starches. What makes Vitargo very special is not the source of the starch but the unique, patented molecular “handprint”, proven in university studies in athletes to greatly outperform other ordinary carbohydrates in speed, endurance and resistance training performance. In fact, the first two studies done on Vitargo used […]

  • Vitargo is a super complex high molecular weight starch molecule that dwarfs sugars (e.g glucose, fructose, and sucrose) as well as maltodextrin, the carbs found in ordinary energy and recovery drinks. Vitargo’s larger size minimizes its osmolality, which refers to how much water it attracts around itself, or pulls into your intestines. Less water means less […]

  • Vitargo is a unique carbohydrate because it is specially processed to yield a high molecular weight profile that is massively different from the carbohydrates that make up sugars (e.g. glucose, fructose, sucrose) and maltodextrin found in ordinary sport, energy, and recovery drinks. Most importantly, Vitargo is proven to work in athletes—in peer-reviewed published university studies. Part of […]
