Vitargo

Vitargo is a brand of the Swedish company Swecarb AB, which produces and markets the patented carbohydrate Vitargo®, developed in 1993 by the Swede Roger Sandström. Sandström wanted to launch a unique sports drink and collaborated in its development with the Research & Development Center of Lyckeby Starch, a company specializing in the production of starch products. The result was Vitargo@ - a carbohydrate made from amylopectin -- , which is characterized by a very high molecular weight combined with very fast absorption. In 2001, the Swedish company Swecarb AB bought the patent for Vitargo.

According to studies, Vitargo@ can replenish glycogen stores 70% faster than maltodextrin and passes through the stomach 130% faster than maltodextrin. At the time of its launch, Vitargo was superior to other available carbohydrate products for athletes. Vitargo is made from grains grown in Sweden and guaranteed non-GMO.

To ensure consistently high product quality, Vitargo is produced according to HACCP guidelines and is guaranteed free of prohibited substances, which is ensured by testing each batch. In addition to this, the product is certified as halal and kosher. The product range of Vitargo is quite manageable and includes pure Vitargo@, as well as Vitargo@ that has different flavors or is enriched with minerals. The target group includes bodybuilders and athletes who need a quick boost of energy and/or want to accelerate their recovery after training.
