Vitalyn POWDER Vitargo is a dietary supplement powder made from 100% Vitargo, a complex carbohydrate with a high molecular weight (amylopectin from maize starch).Vitargo is a complex carbohydrate (a starch) patented by the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, and designed to be absorbed by the body in order to provide a balanced and long-lasting rise in blood glucose levels.
Vitargo allows the user to compensate for the loss of muscle glycogen during intense and prolonged exercise. Its use, therefore, is particularly important in situations where an athlete has to recover from a prolonged effort in time for the next day, such as in stage races.

The synthesis of muscle glycogen from ingested carbohydrates depends on glucose being transported through the intestinal mucosa and through the membranes of the muscle cells and enzymes responsible for phosphorylation and glycogen synthesis.
Blood glucose levels are influenced by the flow of glucose coming from the stomach, through the intestine and directly into the blood.
It has been demonstrated that the osmolarity of an ingested solution can affect the rate at which the stomach empties. A high level of osmolarity may therefore delay the emptying of the stomach, which could delay the release of glucose from the intestine.
With Vitalyn POWDER Vitargo, you get the benefits of a drink rich in carbohydrates, but with very low osmolarity!
