Waxy Maize Starch

[Stout1]

What is up with this Waxy Maize Starch that True Protein keeps raving about? Any info would be appreciated.

[KC Lifter]

I'll be ordering some next week. I've heard of excellent results from a highly respected prep guy and competitor. Supposed to be just like vitargo.

well 1-1.5 scoops or 50-100g was the recommendation. A typical protein powder scooper is a 60 or 70g scooper I think...

Yeah, thats the only negative that I can see with it... but as long as you can get to a blender within 45 minutes you shouldn't have to worry about it.

TP has sent me 3 emails now trying to sell it to me, that say its the latest new thing, but oddly enough I have never heard of it on any other boards???

[buffness]

Try checking the links - there is more to it than that.
There are other products out there, this is just their version of it. I guess it is pretty much the same as Vitargo... here is something about Vitargo:

The Ultimate Scientifically Proven Sports Drink Of The Pro's!
Pure Vitargo is the Ultimate Nutrient Transporter! Due to Vitargo's unique hypotonic solution, nutrients are super shuttled through the stomach (80% faster than dextrose) and quickly delivered to the muscles. With Pure Vitargo your nutrients will spend less time breaking down in stomach acids and more time reloading your muscle tissue! Combine Pure Vitargo with your favorite creatine, glutamine, taurine, arginine, BCAA or Creatine Ethyl Ester combinations and make them twice as effective! Pure Vitargo super shuttles nutrients into your blood steam and muscle tissue.

What the Pro's Use!

Many top professional athletes train, eat, sleep and breathe their competitive sport. Leading athletes know that Pure Vitargo gives them a substantial and powerful advantage. That's why the cream of the crop wont "share" this information with their competition. After all, there can only be one 1st place winner or gold medalist! In addition to the significant competitive edge that Pure Vitargo provides, many elite athletes literally cannot say they use Pure Vitargo due to their contracts with "other" supplement companies. Nevertheless, guess what product you'll find in their gym bag, locker or kitchen cabinet? You guessed it! We receive massive amounts of emails, phone calls and orders from top professional athletes around the world demanding our precious supplement. Pure Vitargo is the product being delivered to their doorstep! Many leading pros have referred to Pure Vitargo as "Athlete's gold!"

The staff at Professional Supplements has inside information that Pure Vitargo was used by at least 5 out of the TOP 10 male pro bodybuilders at this past 2004 Mr. Olympia contest! Why? Because loading with Pure Vitargo literally pulls water quickly and efficiently into the muscle tissue where it belongs. This "pump effect" gives the pro athlete that full, round, rock-hard looking muscle that fans, photographers and judges love! Pure Vitargo helps keep the stomach small and tight whereas sugars will distend and bloat pulling water out of the muscle and into your gut. (Sugars can flatten the muscles out! An absolute nightmare for a bodybuilder!)

Pure Vitargo is manufactured only in Sweden by the company Lyckeby Starch. Lyckeby Starch is one of the largest starch manufacturers in the world. Pure Vitargo is already being used by top European Olympic athletes and is responsible for nearly 100 Olympic medals. Now that Lyckeby Starch has successfully developed the technology to get Pure Vitargo into mass production, not only elite athletes but ALL athletes can benefit from Pure Vitargo's unique effects.



From The Desk Of Art Atwood

I discovered this remarkable supplement at the 2003 Mr. Olympia and post-European Tour. I was discussing carb-loading with one of the top pre-contest gurus (Milos Sarcev) and wanted to find out just how Mr. Olympia looked so incredible that year. The reigning Mr. O came in the contest HUGE, full, round, rock-hard and dry-as-a bone. Add to these qualities, a drastically reduced stomach distension spelled out a unanimous victory in 2003 & 2004 for Big Ron. I was so astonished by these improvements and even more surprised by the answer. This pre-contest magician laid it out to me plain and simple, he said these enhancements were from loading with Pure Vitargo.

I was so intrigued about this "Vitargo" that I spent the next 2 months researching this unique carb supplement. I started implementing it into my diet, post-workout recovery drink and my pre-contest prep. Need less to say I was immediately hooked! My recovery was phenomenal, my muscles were fuller and harder & I didn't get that bloated feeling like I usually did from dextrose or glucose polymer formulas.

So what is Pure Vitargo?

Pure Vitargo® is a unique patented high molecular weight carbohydrate made from Swedish waxy maize starch. Pure Vitargo® is a long chain complex carbohydrate which acts far more favorably than dextrose & maltodextrin (the main ingredients in sports drinks today). Pure Vitargo® has a molecular weight that is about 100 times greater than maltodextrin and about 3000 times greater than dextrose. Due to its high molecular weight, Pure Vitargo® passes through the stomach very quickly. In doing so it acts like a pump, pulling water and nutrients along with it. In Fact, Pure Vitargo® moves through the stomach 80% faster than dextrose and maltodextrin. Dextrose also binds water from the body's reserves (small intestine, blood & muscles) and draws it into the stomach. This explains why so many dextrose users experience stomach discomfort or a bloated feeling. Pure Vitargo®, on the other hand, keeps you bloat-free and the muscles super-hydrated.

After using Pure Vitargo for over a year now, here is my take on the main benefits of this ultimate carbohydrate formula:


Pure Vitargo reloads muscle glycogen 70% faster than any other carb drink on the market. This helps the muscles recover quicker and makes it an ideal post-workout carb drink.
Pure Vitargo passes through the stomach 80% faster than dextrose. With this rapid absorption, depleted muscles will receive vital glycogen in record time. Also, vital nutrients that are combined with Pure Vitargo are PULLED into the muscles 80% faster. What this means is that if you combine Pure Vitargo with creatine, glutamine, taurine, NO2 products, BCAA's, or creatine ethyl esters, you'll get almost double the absorption! These nutrients can now bypass harsh stomach acids and are super-shuttled into your muscles. Adding Pure Vitargo to my cell volumizers makes them more efficient and I don't have to take as much so I'm saving money in the long run. Talk about an ultimate nutrient transporter!
Pure Vitargo acts like a pump and pulls nutrients and water into the muscles. This "pump effect" super-hydrates the muscles and helps them expand creating fuller, rounder and harder muscles. Add to this Pure Vitargo's non-bloating properties makes it the ideal carb-loader for pre-contest bodybuilders! Why do you think 5 out of the top 10 Mr. Olympia competitors used Vitargo for the 2004 contest? Because it works like magic! (But due to sponsorships and contracts, they can't admit it!). I noticed that when I load with Pure Vitargo for a contest my muscles are fuller, rounder and harder. With Pure Vitargo I also get that dry, crisp and grainy looking muscle that I'm always striving for.
Finally, I found that I could take Pure Vitargo while I was on my low carbohydrate diet and still rapidly lose bodyfat. The only difference is that now I had tons of energy and noticed that I was gaining muscle at the same time! Being that Pure Vitargo is sugar free makes it a very efficient carbohydrate formula for dieting and also when I'm trying to put on quality muscle mass.
Now the "secret" is out! I've personally developed a solid relationship with Swecarb AB and they are allowing me to exclusively bring this precious supplement to the masses!

Oh - and for the "scoop size" - DC posted this: "15 (70CC OR 1/3 of a cup) scoops in a pound roughly"

I've got 15lbs of dextrose/malto blend in my cabinet... but I think I'm going to get a few pounds of this to try out once I am able to workout for real again.

[KC Lifter]

If it's as good as it sounds it could put an end to vitargo because of the price savings.

[goes4ever]

but still I do not hear anyone talking about vitagro, if it is that great people would be raving about it.
