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. The larger carbohydrate, the quicker the drink passes through the stomach and then the intestines can absorb the energy into your blood stream. This is called osmolality, the lower osmolality the quicker passage through the stomach. 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.
