No.6 -a power comparison- This study shows the increase in power output when taking Vitargo Vs Maltodextrin or a placebo.
The paper cites the benefits of a high molecular weight carbohydrate in relation the power output. The specific high molecular weight carbohydrate used in the study was, indeed, Vitargo. It’s important to note that HBCD is also a high molecular weight carb but it has no data we are aware of that shows the same results as Vitargo… we will tackle the Vitargo vs HBCD in another post.
Back to the study…
Athletes drinking Vitargo had a consistently higher power output compared to the other 2 groups.
To put this into perspective, the difference between a gold and silver on the Rogue platform can come down to a few kilos.
can attest to the importance of power output when it comes to weightlifting
If you’re a cyclist, you’re likely familiar with power output and may or may not be obsessed with your watts/kilo. Even a 10 watt increase over 5 intervals is significant.
Hands down, if you’re able to generate more power, you’ll be able to move more weight, propel yourself faster on a bike, or pack a harder punch 🥊
