Nutritional Information From Matt Lovell Part 1

Vitargo Pure - Super Soluble Vitargo Vitargo® is a patented carbohydrate derived from barley starch. It is different because it is made up of larger carbohydrate molecules instead of smaller sugars (e.g. glucose, fructose, sucrose and maltodextrin) found in ordinary sport drinks. Scientists use molecular weight (how heavy the molecule is) to determine the size of molecules. As shown in the table below. Vitargo® is hundreds and thousands of times larger than maltodextrin, sucrose and dextrose.

How does Vitargo® work? Vitargo® has a larger molecule size than sugars (e.g. glucose, fructose, sucrose and maltodextrin) found in ordinary energy and recovery drinks. Vitargo®'s larger size minimises its osmolality, which refers to how much water it draws. Vitargo®'s low osmolality allows it to move through the stomach 2 times faster than other carbohydrates which tend to act more like a sponge in the stomach. Spending less time in the stomach allows Vitargo® to be absorbed faster, providing a near instant surge of energy into the working muscles, far superior to other carbohydrates. After training or competition Vitargo® recovers glycogen 68% faster allowing for an increase in performance of up to 23% after just two hours, when compared to carbohydrates found in ordinary sport drinks.

Carbohydrate-based energy and recovery beverages can make you feel bloated. That's because the type of carbohydrate used in ordinary formulas act like sponges drawing water into the stomach, which can cause uncomfortable bloating and cramping. Vitargo® is a patented carbohydrate form designed to empty from the stomach faster and be absorbed in to the body more quickly. In fact, university researchers found that Vitargo® emptied from the stomach more than 2 times faster than a comparable beverage with sugars and maltodextrin (the type of carbohydrate used in many popular sports drinks).

Can I use Vitargo® before or during training or when I compete? Absolutely! Vitargo® is a favorite fuel source of thousands of athletes world-wide during training and competition. That's because it is university proven to be the fastest muscle fuel available. You can use one to two scoops before you begin or during training or competition.

Is your Vitargo the Super Soluble (S2) variety? Yes we use the Super Soluble variety. Vitargo® is made from barley and is considered a starch. In general, starches don't mix very well in water. We use Vitargo® S2 which is a super soluble form that mixes more easily in water than other starches.

Is Vitargo® sugar free? Unlike most other sport drinks and recovery supplements Vitargo® is completely sugar free! That means you can enjoy Vitargo® before, during or after training or anytime and not be concerned about sugar.

Is Vitargo® vegetarian? Yes. Vitargo® is made from barley starch and will fit in with any vegetarian nutrition plan.

Can I use Vitargo® to carb load prior to competition? Absolutely. In fact, using Vitargo® during "carb-loading" is common among elite athletes and Olympic competitors. You can use Vitargo in shakes and smoothies as a sugar-free carbohydrate source. Each scoop provides 50 grams of glycogen building carbohydrate. Many athletes use Vitargo between meals to ensure they meet their carbohydrate goals during loading and after exhaustive training so that they can eat normally during regular meals.

Is Vitargo® safe? Vitargo is a safe and natural product.

What Clinical Studies have been carried out? The original study on Vitargo, performed at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden in 2000, found Vitargo replenishes glycogen levels in your muscles 70% faster than any other sports drink carbohydrate! This means recovery after exercise has been clinically proven to occur much faster with Vitargo than ordinary

Colostrum (NZ) - Fat & Lactose Reduced Colostrum is the milk produced by cows within the first 48 hours of giving birth. Colostrum is an exceptional natural food prized by many cultures for thousands of years. Our Colostrum is 20% igG. Our colostrum is processed from fresh chilled material. It is then pasteurised, defatted and dried immediately before packing. It is an unflavoured powder ready to mix with milk, water, live yoghurt or fruit juice. Our colostrum has also been de-fatted and the lactose (carbohydrates) levels reduced to leave a pure colostrum product free of the unwanted extras.

What are the key benefits? Colostrum has been found to contain many important components such as antibodies, enzymes and proteins. Colostrum also contains prominent concentrations of valuable hormones, growth-promoting compounds, vitamins, minerals and amino acids. It is commonly thought that Colostrum is so rich in anabolic and energy enhancing compounds that it is ideal for use during heavy periods of training. It has even been suggested that Colostrum can have a direct, positive effect on physical performance. Research has shown that the immune and growth factors in dairy colostrum, including epidermal growth factor (EGF) and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I), are nearly identical to human. Dairy colostrum is not species specific and works effectively in humans and other animals.

Additional information Colostrum is not a by-product of cheese manufacture. All our colostrum products are suitable for vegetarians and are derived directly from the cow's surplus without any additives. The care of the calf is the producer's foremost consideration, its needs come first. Our colostrum is certified by the New Zealand government to be free of BSE. The cows are pasture fed under strict standards. They are not given hormones or antibiotics, and are not exposed to pesticides, heavy metals or other chemicals.

What are the ingredients? This product is 100% Colostrum (NZ) with nothing added or taken away.

Nutritional Information Protein (as-is): 78.6% Lactose: 10.0% Fat: 2.0% Key Benefits of Colostrum (NZ): Rich source of immune and growth enhancing nutrients Taken in the first 48 hours after calving Defatted and lactose reduced

Suggested Use: Take 5g to 10g on an empty stomach, 1 to 2 times a daily for an improvment to your athletic performance. It is best taken with half a pint (300ml) of cold milk, water, soda water, juice (non-acidic, as proteins will curdle) or yoghurt. It should be stirred or blended to a smooth paste with a little fluid before slowly diluting to full volume. One rounded tablespoon is approximately 5 grams

The need for Electrolytes and mineral replacements Additional information A loss of just 2% of body weight through dehydration can dramatically impede and negatively affect your physical performance.

Exceed - Workout enhancer MP Max Exceed is an advanced blend of amino acids devised to promote energy production, increase strength and endurance, enhance the recovery process and boost lean muscle growth. The scientifically proven 2:1:1 ratio of Branched Chain Amino Acids (L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine and L-Valine) and the presence of Beta Alanine, L-Glutamine and Citrulline Malate help generate an anabolic environment optimal for building lean muscle whilst enhancing exercise capacity. Several studies have proven Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) can have a beneficial effect on performance; reducing fatigue and raising energy levels. By limiting levels of tryptophan (an amino acid that can cause the sensation of fatigue in the brain), BCAAs can help maintain a higher exercise intensity for longer. BCAAs have also been shown to prevent muscle breakdown during intense bouts of exercise whilst promoting the growth of lean muscle. Each serving offers a useful and awesome combination of Beta Alanine, Citrulline Malate and Vitamin B6, making MP Max Exceed one of the most advanced non-stimulant strength, endurance and energy supplement on the market. By promoting the amount of energy you produce and reducing the presence of fatigue inducing toxins such as lactic acid, MP Max Exceed will push your training beyond its normal limitations and amplify your exercise capacity. MP Max Exceed can also be an excellent instrument for those looking to lose weight and reduce body fat without the use of ‘edgy’ stimulants such as caffeine. Promoting the growth and maintenance of lean body tissue will provide you with an improved potential to burn off stubborn body fat and excess calories. MP Max Exceed combines some of the most exciting pre-workout ingredients into one convenient and highly effective supplement.
