Created by Athletes for Athletes

To ensure the highest quality of the product, Vitarade® line is made of Vitargo®, high mole-cular mass carbohydrates patented in Sweden, made of barley starch. The structure of high mo-lecular mass carbohydrate reminds glycogen which explains why it is sticky after dissolving. Thanks to that structure high molecular mass carbohydrates leave the stomach faster than other kinds of carbohydrates and release gluco-se particles from side chains in just minutes after consumption. Further, that effect is prolonged by carbohydrate release from the main carbo-hydrate chain. That is why Vitargo® guarantees high efficiency in energy support for Athletes. Moreover, the high molecular mass ensures that complex carbohydrates have low osmolality and drinks based on them are hypotonic and quickly rehydrate the body.

Effectiveness of high molecular mass carbohydrates in sport supplementation was proven by independent clinical researches. Clinical trials showed that high mo-lecular mass carbohydrates leave the stomach faster (Aulin et al., 2000a) and replenish glycogen stores quic-ker (Aulin et al., 2000b) comparing to maltodextrines and simple sugars which are used in typical sport sup-plements. It was also shown that high molecular mass carbohydrates allow quicker regeneration comparing to maltodextrines and water (Stephens et al., 2007). High molecular mass carbohydrates in Vitarade® do not upset the stomach, are quickly released into the bloodstream ensuring rapid regeneration.

Vitarade® CL fueled by Vitargo® is a powder designed to prepare hypotonic drink available in 2 kg containers or 50 g sachets. It can be used in different training phases by simply dissolving in various amounts of water. Due to high content of high molecular mass carbohydrates Vitarade® CL fueled by Vitargo® prepares body for intensive physical effort. Vitarade® CL fueled by Vitargo® ensures high gastric emptying rate as well as muscle and liver glycogen resynthesis. It’s recommended for glycogen supercompensation (carbohydrate loading), prior to long-lasting effort as well as for replenishing glycogen stores after the workout. Properly dissolved, Vitarade® CL fueled by Vitargo® can also serve as hypotonic carbohydrate drink during training or competition.

1 portion: 2 scoops (50 g) dissolved in water.To replenish glycogen: Mix 2 scoops (50 g) with 400-500 ml of water. Drink 3 portions between meals. Carbohydrate supplementation should begin at least 3 days prior to the event. Keep your normal diet. It is not recommen-ded to consume excessive amount of food. During prolonged effort: Mix 2 scoops (50 g) with 600-800 ml of water and drink 1 portion per every 45 minutes of physical activity.Strength training: Mix 2 scoops (50 g) with 500 -600 ml of water and drink 1 portion per every 45 -60 minutes of physical activity.Team sports: Mix 2 scoops (50 g) with 500-600 ml of water. Drink 3 portions the day before the game. During the game drink 1 portion: 2 scoops (50 g) mixed with 500-600 ml per every 45 minutes of game.During everyday activity as a carbohydrate drink: Mix 2 scoops (50 g) in 500-600 ml of water and drink 1 portion per every 45-60 minutes of physical activity.

Vitarade® Endurance Bar is a concentrated source of carbo- hydrates, whey protein and caffeine. Vitarade® Endurance Bar contains carbohydrates of various release time which makes it a highly efficient source of energy. Vitargo® in Vitarade® Endurance Bar quickly releases glucose into the bloodstream and this effect is prolonged by glucose gra-dually released from other ingredients of the bar. Moreover, Vitarade® Endurance Bar contains fast acting whey pro-tein which prevents muscle tissue catabolism (breakdown) and quickly regenerates microdamages caused by intensive effort. Vitarade® Endurance Bar provides efficient dose of caffeine which not only supports energy metabolism in the body but also increases glycogen restoration rate after phy-sical effort.

1 portion: 1 gel (45 g)To replenish glycogen stores (carbohydrate supercom-pensation): Consume 3-6 gels between meals during the day. Carbohydrate loading pha-se should be started in 2-3 days before the competition. Keep your regular diet. It is not recommended to consume an excessive amo-unt of food.During prolonged exercise: Consume 1 gel per every 20 – 40 minutes of exercise. During strength training: Consume 1 gel per every 30 – 60 minutes of training.Team sports: Consume 3 - 6 gels a day betwe-en meals. Start 1 – 2 days before the game. During the game consume 1 - 2 gels per every 30 - 45 minutes of the activity.During every day activity as a carbohydrate source: Consume 1 gel per every 30 – 60 minutes of physical effort.Note: If necessary, each gel can be taken with 100 - 150 ml of water.

ENERGY GEL

Vitarade® Energy Gel is a source of fast released car-bohydrates in a form of gel. The product is based on uni-que TRIPLECARB FORMULA blend that ensures maxi-mal use of provided carbohydrates as a source of energy and protects liver and muscle glycogen stores at the same time. TRIPLECAR FORMULA was created to provide contained carbohydrates by various mecha-nisms of absorption from intestines which results in greater bioavailability for tissues. Vitarade® Energy Gel allows to perform high intensity excercise for a longer period of time and provides key electro-lytes: sodium and potassium that influence the muscles performance. Moreover, perfect dose of caffeine decreases the feeling of mental and phy-sical fatigue. Vitarade® Energy Gel has semi fluid consistency, is easy to consume and doesn’t cause any stomach upset during intensive effort.

1 portion: 1 gel (45 g)During workout or endurance exercise (shorter than 1 hour): Consume 1-2 gels depending on the type and intensity of training/competition. Consume 1 gel every 20 minutes of the effort.During workout or endurance exercise (longer than one hour): Consume 3-6 gels or more depending on the type and intensity of training/competition. Consume 1 gel every 20 minutes of the effort.During training or game in team sport: Consume 2-3 gels depending on the type and intensity of training/competition. Consume 1 gel for each 20-40 minutes of the effort or immediately after the half, or quarter.During resistance workout: Consume 2-3 gels de-pending on the type and intensity of your workout. Consume one gel every 20-40 minutes of the effort.During long expeditions or everyday activities as sources of carbohydrates: Consume 3-6 gels or more depending on the type and intensity of effort. Consume one gel every 60-90 minu-tes of the effort.

RECOVERY GEL

Vitarade® Recovery Gel is a carbohydrate gel desi-gned to allow quick post workout regeneration. Along with high molecular mass carbohydrates and mal-todextrines it contains collagen protein hydrolisate and whey protein that ensure positive nitrogen ba-lance after workout. Positive nitrogen balance is ne-cessary to stop tissue catabolism (breakdown) and for fast muscle protein synthesis and micro damages re-covery. Vitarade® Recovery Gel is fortified with vi-tamins C and E that fights free radicals created during the physical effort. Vitarade® Recovery Gel has semi fluid consistency which makes it easy to consume even when you are extremely tired.
