Milos.....
Before developing and marketing your KNS, you were an avid supporter of Vitargo. I remember over 2 yrs ago when I saw your article in Flex where you described pre/intra/post workout drink concoctions. You were a very strong advocate of using vitargo.
I have 2 questions...
Are you still a strong advocate of Vitargo?
AND..when you finally developed your own delivery system with KNS...from what I see, not only did you NOT use vitargo, but your actual carbohydrate blend is a small blend of dextrose and malto. Your KNS system doesnt have NEARLY the amount of carbs in any of the 3 mixes that you were suggesting in Flex with Vitargo use.
Or do you simply have your athletes take Preload, XXpload, and Reload with added Vitargo in each?
A:
I love Vitargo and I think it is excellent product...but IF amount of carbs taken at any specific time DOES NOT EXCEED 70-75 grams - than simple dextrose or mix dextrose/maltodextrin/and touch of sucrose does EXACTLY the same thing![providing your drink is made as maximally 8-10% solution (to make easy example: 100grams of powder diluted in 1000ml = 1liter of water)...for reasons high molecular glucose polymers were invented in the first place: osmolility problems often occurring when too much glucose monomers, dimers, oligomers and low molecular weight polymers are used in solutions with inadequate, or rather insufficient amount of water...
Simply - if your "drink" makes you run to the bathroom (well how should I say this? Well - I guess in English: due to diarrhea - your drink didn't have enough water...)
I would certainly like to point out THE MOST IMPORTANT reasons we would take any carbs during the training or immediately before or after: spiking the insulin with elevation of the blood sugar (glucose)...And dextrose is absolutely IDEAL up to 70-75 grams level (otherwise you would think glucose test in US hospitals would use Vitargo instead?)...advantage Vitargo has [where difference is definitely IN FAVOR of Vitargo over dextrose/mix] is when someone uses more than 75 grams of carbohydrate powder in any "chosen drink"...
