THE SCIENCE IS BEHIND US

In a clinical study, it was shown that the consumption of high molecular weight carbohydrates (Vitargo®) allowed athletes to generate more than 10% more power, on average, during exercise compared to other sources of sugars and a 23% increase in total training volume. (Stephens et. al. 2008).
Vitarade® is characterised by its high molecular weight and low osmolarity, thus leaving the stomach faster than other forms of carbohydrates and replenishing energy lost during exercise.
Scientific studies have shown that glycogen restoration after its consumption is 70% faster within 1 hour, and 77% within 2 hours, than after consuming the same amount of other sugars (Leiper et. al. 2000).

Vitarade® Powder Vitargo® powder was further enriched with Enduracarb®, a patented source of glucose. In clinical studies, trehalose has been shown not to cause sudden increases in blood glucose levels or high insulin outputs (Yoshizane C et. al. 2017). Thanks to its slow release, it can support athletes performing prolonged periods of exercise. In a randomized crossover study by Prof. Suzuki and team, a significant improvement in athletic performance was demonstrated during exercise preceded by a drink of trehalose solution (Suzuki, Y. et al. 2020).

The Vitarade® Vitargo® formula was further enhanced with natural Aquamin® Sea Minerals, which have high bioavailability.
Advantages of using Aquamin®
The mineral complex of red algae (kelp) from the Irish coast is 100% plant-based. It provides calcium, magnesium and more than 70 of other important elements.
Minerals are invaluable for endurance sports because valuable minerals are lost with sweat. These are called electrolytes and include chlorides, sodium, magnesium, potassium and calcium. They are important for the proper functioning of the heart, brain, muscles, and also help reduce the feeling of fatigue.
