Product Information

📋 Directions for Use

Protein does not boost recovery performance - Train to exhaustion. Take Vitargo one time, and Vitargo + whey protein a different time, same workout. Wait two hours. Go back and do an all out, 15-minute maximum effort workout. In this preliminary study adding whey protein did not boost recovery perform-performance over Vitargo alone.3 Athletes do not recover on protein alone.

Intructions Virtago POST is easy to mix, and deserves quick drinking! How In a shaker bottle Add 14-16 oz. of cold water to a large shaker bottle. Add 2 and one-third scoops of Virtago POST and shake vigorously for 10-15 seconds. Drink - don't sip! In a blender Add 14-16 oz. of cold water to a blender container. For best results add 2 and one-third scoops into a blender after water has been added, while it's blending at low-medium. Add a few pieces of ice, if desired, and blend at hight speed for 10-15 seconds. When Virtago POST is designed for just that-post-training, post-competition, post-race, post-exhaustion. You can also add more protein powder and/or Virtago S2 (our patented, university validated carb alone), to boost the protein and carb content, respectively (although if you weigh < 187 lb./85 kg, university research indicates that protein doses more than 20 grams, at one time, are wasted). Also, feel free to add your favorite amino acids/creatine, electrolytes, or other non-carb supplements. If you are performing multiple training sessions, races, or competitions in the same day you can also use Vitargo POST as an acute substitute for protein and carbs-and enjoy super digestibility and re-fueling recovery.

Additional Information

Recovery. The 'R' word. Thrown and kicked around like a ball. With Intense Training Or Athletic Competition Two Key Metabolic Demands Are Created: Replace fuel and provide amino acids/protein. Intense muscular work - the intensity that elevates performance and/or increases muscle mass - almost always relies upon carbohydrate as the primary fuel. Amino acids - the full spectrum of all of the essential aminos, not just branched chain aminos - are obligatory components that feed the anabolic response in muscle - for both muscle contracting proteins (strength) and muscle enzymes (endurance).

Muscle glycogen refueling, unparalleled - Vitargo taken after glycogen depleting exercise showed 1.7x higher/faster muscle carbohydrate replacement just 2 hours later, compared to the fastest generic carb, maltodextrin - muscle biopsy validated.

Muscle protein needs matched - Why just 20 grams of protein? Several studies in resistance-trained athletes have revealed that taking in more than 20 grams of protein (including whey protein) post-training delivers no greater muscle protein anabolic response.4-6 If your body weight is up to ˜ 187 lb/85 kg any additional protein intake is used as an energy source and lost in the urine. Why waste your most expensive macronutrient?
