Hey all, in conjunction with Lisa I am looking at the NZ distribotorship for Vitargo, here's some infomation on the product & I'd love some feedback of what you guys think.
What is Vitargo?
Vitargo is a patented carbohydrate derived from barley starch. Starch is comprised of two compounds one is called amylose and the other, amylopectin. Each compound has a characteristic molecular structure and physical properties. These physical properties are what make Vitargo superior to maltodextrin and glucose based sports drinks when it comes to gastric emptying, glycogen loading, providing energy, muscle growth and recovery..
Vitargo was developed for elite athletes. The goal when formulating Vitargo was to optimize glycogen replenishment, quickly and efficiently, without gastric upset to enhance performance. At that time traditional maltodextrin and glucose based carbohydrate drinks, bars and gels were available. However, the question remained: Can our ability to recover be improved? That’s what concerns strength and endurance athletes because optimal recovery leads to improved performance and in our case….bigger muscles, increased stamina and strength.
Why you should use Vitargo:
Clinical testing at the Karolinska Institute, Stockholm showed that Vitargo®
Replenished glycogen levels 70% quicker than typical glucose and maltodextrin based sports drinks
Passed through the stomach 80% quicker than sports drinks containing glucose/maltodextrin
* Abstract: European Journal of Applied Physiololgy
(Unlike many sports nutritional supplements, Vitargo is supported with anectdotal evidence, a patent and peer reviewed research)
Other benefits of using Vitargo:
Vitargo® passes through the stomach quickly and facilitates the quick and efficient storing of glycogen. Therefore, you are able to eat your "normal" portions of food combined with Vitargo to load muscles with glycogen with no bloating..
Vitargo® contains no simple sugars and is absorbed 70% faster by the muscles than dextrose or maltodextrin!
Using Vitargo® for glycogen replenishment immediately after exercise is most effective to prevent the risk of over-training.
Vitargo enhances the uptake of nutrients because it acts as a nutrient pump into muscle cells. This is due to Vitargo’s unique hypotonic solution which helps nutrients shuttle through the stomach (80% faster than dextrose) and be quickly delivered to muscles. Nutrients spend less time being broken down in the stomach and more time being utilised by muscle.
Vitargo optimises the effectivness of BCAA, EAA, arginine, taurine, nitric oxide products, cell volumisers and creatine supplements (including creatine ethyl esters and Kre-alkalyn).
Who uses Vitargo?
Vitargo can be used by both strength and endurance athletes. Sports teams that have used Vitargo with great results are soccer (English Premier League Newcastle United was amongst the first) and Super 14 Auckland Blues. Other sports where Vitargo has had a tremendous benefit are triathlon, cycling, running, mixed martial arts and swimming. The examples are numerous. For all you hardcore bodybuilders, power lifters and strongmen and women, search the web and you will read comments by IFBB pro bodybuilders Luke Wood, Art Atwood, Markus Ruhl and Milos Sarcev and others as to the effectiveness of Vitargo for recovery, energy/stamina, glycogen loading and muscle size and fullness.
Carbing up for your bodybuilding contest:
Pure Vitargo acts like a pump and literally pulls water into the muscle tissue where it belongs. This “pump effect” gives the body builder that full, round, rock-hard looking muscle that fans, photographers and judges love! Pure Vitargo helps keep the stomach small and tight whereas sugars will distend and bloat pulling water out of the muscle and into your gut. (Sugars can flatten the muscles out! An absolute nightmare for a bodybuilder!)
I'll also be running a board special once I have stock!
