Vitargo Teams Up With USA Weightlifting

FOUNTAIN HILLS, AZ – Vitargo, Inc. has entered into a formal agreement with USA Weightlifting to be the official sports nutrition sponsor. The partnership will help bring the fastest muscle fuel and recovery drink into the lives of the nation’s strongest athletes.

“Our team has been working with elite athletes across multiple sports for a long time, including multiple Olympic medalists and American record holders,” Vitargo CEO, Bernadette (Bernie) Wooster says. “We are beyond excited to be partnering with USA Weightlifting and to be fueling the performances of some of the strongest athletes in our country and throughout the world.”

Vitargo is a crucial component on an athlete’s journey to greatness. Athletes across multiple sports have been using it for years and it’s earned the stamp of approval from some of the best coaches and athletes in the world. Weightlifters specifically have found measurable gains in their power output when utilizing Vitargo. Some in the sport have often turned to sugary beverages, candy, and sweets looking to provide quick energy. Consuming these foods generally results in a rapid crash. These fueling options pale in comparison to what Vitargo can do for these strength athletes. Vitargo is the only functional fuel that has been proven by science to empty from the stomach faster, leading to faster and greater replenishment of muscle glycogen. This ultimately provides significant advantages in endurance and strength, which is what Weightlifters are looking to increase.

Vitargo is made through a special fractionation process that makes it rapidly digestible and therefore capable of delivering glucose to the blood, liver, and muscle at over twice the speed of ordinary carbohydrates. Vitargo was developed and researched at some of the top academic institutions in the world, including the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm. The research resulted in a highly regarded published study which proved that Vitargo replenished glycogen levels in muscles 70% faster than maltodextrin-based sports drinks. A second study was published later the same year which showed that Vitargo also left the stomach 130% faster. Vitargo also has significant performance benefits, enhancing endurance up to 23% and improving power output by an average of 5%. Today Vitargo is still the fastest muscle fuel and recovery drink, used by athletes in all sports to fuel their drive.

When it comes to sports supplements, expect more! We understand that clean and safe ingredients are important to our community. The highly regarded raw starch of Vitargo comes from specially selected and strict non-GMO contract farming in the southeast of Sweden. Each and every batch is tested by an accredited laboratory.

USA Weightlifting PR Announcement

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – USA Weightlifting today announced Vitargo as its official sports nutrition sponsor. The partnership will help bring the fastest muscle fuel and recovery drink into the lives of the nation’s strongest athletes.

With a history dating back to 1993, Vitargo is the only functional fuel that has been proven by science and athletes to boost power, enhance recovery and unleash potential like nothing else on the market – an ideal supplier for the national governing body of Olympic weightlifting.

“Reliable nutrition is a crucial component on every athlete’s journey to greatness, from platforms at clubs across the nation to sport’s most premier international stages,” USA Weightlifting CEO Phil Andrews said. “We are thrilled to work with a leading sports nutrition company in Vitargo.”

Proven, clean,. and superior, Vitargo was birthed as a solution to the physical challenges athletes faced of digesting and absorbing fuels and fluids while exercising intensely. Athletes reported stomach discomfort and bloating from the available sports drinks, causing them to under-fuel and experience energy crashes. The company understood athletes needed a carbohydrate that did not cause distress but could still deliver a rapid uptake of fuel.

“Our team has been working with elite athletes across multiple sports for a long time, including multiple Olympic medalists and American record holders,” Vitargo CEO Bernadette Wooster said. “We are beyond excited to be partnering with USA Weightlifting and to be supporting some of the strongest athletes in the world!”

Vitargo was developed and researched at some of the top academic institutions in the world, including the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm. The research resulted in a highly regarded published study in 2000 that proved Vitargo replenished glycogen levels in muscles 70% faster than other maltodextrin-based sports drinks within one hour. A second study was published later the same year which showed that Vitargo left the stomach 2.3 times (130%) faster than other maltodextrin-based sports drinks. Vitargo also has significant performance benefits, enhancing endurance up to 23% and maintaining power output by an average of 5%.

USA Weightlifting’s partnership with Vitargo began at the start of the calendar year and extends through the end of 2022.
