Carbohydrate without added minerals
Choose it when you want a carbohydrate drink and prefer to manage any electrolytes separately. A 75 g serving contains 69 g of carbohydrate, with 0 g of fat, protein and sugars according to the nutrition table.
The manufacturer states that Vitargo's high-molecular-weight starch has a low osmolality and in comparative studies left the stomach faster than maltodextrin.
Preparing for a race
The distributor's directions also cover carbohydrate loading during the final 2–3 days before a race. Carboloader lets you measure carbohydrates into a drink to complement regular meals. The quantities and mixing instructions are below.
Use and mixing
75 g makes 500–600 ml
- Measure 75 g of powder. Mix it into 200 ml of water for 30 seconds first.
- Once dissolved, top up with water to a final volume of 500–600 ml and shake.
- Drink before or during intense training or a race. Adjust the amount to the duration and intensity of exercise.
- Drink it 20–60 minutes before exercise. During exercise, you can start taking more after about 20 minutes.
For pre-race carbohydrate loading, the distributor's directions specify 1–2 servings daily for the 2–3 days before the race.
The distributor's directions set an hourly maximum equivalent to 3,350 kJ / 800 kcal from the drink. This is an upper limit, not an intake target for every workout.

Carbohydrates after demanding exercise
Carbohydrates contribute to the recovery of normal muscle function (contraction) after highly intensive and/or long-lasting physical exercise leading to muscle fatigue and the depletion of glycogen stores in skeletal muscle.
The beneficial effect is obtained with the consumption of carbohydrates, from all sources, at a total intake of 4 g per kg body weight, at doses, within the first 4 hours and no later than 6 hours, following highly intensive and/or long-lasting physical exercise leading to muscle fatigue and the depletion of glycogen stores in skeletal muscle.
This use is intended for adults after the exercise described above. The total includes carbohydrates from both food and drinks.
Frequently asked questions
Carboloader or the electrolyte version: which should I choose?
Carboloader supplies 69 g of carbohydrate per serving without an added mineral blend. Carbohydrates + Electrolytes supplies 65 g of carbohydrate plus sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium. Choose the latter if you want carbohydrates and these minerals together in one drink.
How can it contain carbohydrate but 0 g of sugars?
The carbohydrate comes from starch. “Of which sugars” in the table refers to simple sugars, not all carbohydrates. The drink therefore supplies carbohydrate and energy despite the declared 0 g of sugars; acesulfame K and aspartame provide the sweet taste.
Can I use it alongside protein after training?
Yes, the Czech distributor also lists this use. Vitargo supplies carbohydrate but contains 0 g of protein according to the nutrition table. To include protein after training, get it from a regular meal or a separate protein product, following that product’s own directions.
Is Vitargo gluten-free?
Yes. The Czech distributor, ForActiv, describes these drinks as gluten-free. The manufacturer, Vitargo AB, lists maize starch as the carbohydrate source. The drinks contain aspartame, so always note the phenylalanine warning.
