Post workout nutrition is often considered the Holy Grail; the best time to refuel for optimum nutrient delivery and recovery. You only have to take a look around your gym or sports club as people are finishing their sessions to notice. The treadmill has bearly stopped revolving, and the weight plates are still vibrating on the floor, but the protein shakes have already been glugged down in a frantic effort to regenerate body tissue like The Terminator.
Much is said about the timing of post workout nutrition, but it’s not only the timing that is important, the nutrients are important too. There isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to supplementation. When and what you take should always depend on what your fitness goals are.
For the purpose of this article, we’ll take a closer look at Vitargo®, a relative unsung hero in the category of fast release carbohydrates, the primary macronutrient for rapid glycogen replenishment when the body is low on energy stores. Vitargo® is a patented molecular carbohydrate derived from barley starch. The thing that makes Vitargo® so unique is its extraction technique, which is different to other starch based carbohydrates. The osmolality, molecular weight and ‘branching’ are also key.
