Science in Sport Beta Fuel Gels Dual Source Energy Gel, Orange Flavour, 40 g of Carbs Per Pack, 60 ml Pack (30 Pack)

Product Information

Each Science in Sport energy powder comes in a variety of flavours to suit individual preferences, in general we would recommend having a look at GO Energy or GO Electrolyte for exercise less than 2 hours, then would advise starting to look at Beta Fuel for exercise longer than this. As always though, nothing new on race day, make sure you train with any powder you are planning to use on an event! Carbohydrate ingestion in the form of a carbohydrate-electrolyte solution in the first hour of running exercise, in comparison to just consuming water alone can delay time to fatigue by 15 minutes. The Science In Sport Beta Fuel Gel crams a ridiculously high amount of carbs into an easy-to-consume and perfectly edible product. The ratio of carbs to fructose aims to be kind on the stomach, and during testing I've been thoroughly impressed. And though the price seems quite high, for what they deliver they actually work out quite good value – if you need the carbs. Although nutrition can be a challenge for a lot of runners, it’s key for performance. It is suggested that during endurance exercise (more than 2.5 hours) 80-120 grams of carbohydrate per hour should be consumed. The unique 1:0.8 ratio of maltodextrin to fructose increases the percentage of ingested carbohydrate that is oxidised from 62% to 74% when compared to a more standard ratio of 2:1. This, specially formulated, ratio also reduces the self-reported symptoms of stomach fullness, especially when compared to a 2:1 ratio.

It is suggested that during endurance exercise 80-120 g of carbohydrate per hour should be consumed to maintain blood glucose levels and prevent fatigue. If you’re a cycling enthusiast, you’ll know that the Giro is typically associated with cold weather. You’ll also probably know that the cold increases carbohydrate metabolism. In other words, the colder it is, the more carbs you need, and because of this the challenge for Team Sky in fuelling its riders became more about strategy.

A 1:0.8 ratio of glucose to fructose increases the percentage of ingested carbohydrate that is oxidized (known as efficiency) from 62% to 74% when compared with a ratio of 2:1 Unfortunately it's not just as simple as going double strength as this may cause the stomach problems that the Beta Fuel is designed to avoid. Loving the Beta fuel getting me through the hard long ironman sessions” – Tim Don 11/03/2022 Nutritional comparison per serving However, as the reporter says, that’s an awful lot of carbs in 500ml and you would have to ride at some tempo to need that many in so little fluid (I.e. you may as well have a gel!)

For any nutrition product the criterion for success is tough, and professional athletes are often their biggest critics. But unbelievably, that success isn’t just about the science and the performance benefits. It’s also about taste. And whether it’s easily digestible. And whether it enables riders to carry less on the bike. Tsintzas, O. K., Williams, C., Wilson, W. & Burrin, J. (1996).

The new SiS Beta Fuel powder solution will contain 80g of carbohydrate at this 1:0.8 ratio, in a neutral pH formula still maintaining the signature isotonic format to minimise gastrointestinal issues.Designed as a world-leading, whole body energy source, our innovative Beta Fuel Dual Source Energy Gel + Nootropics combines a new ratio of carbohydrate with Cognizin® Citicoline to improve both your physical and mental performance. A lot of this will come down to individuality and finding what works for you to perform at your best consistently. HOW TO USE SIS BETA FUEL AS A RUNNER The new SiS Beta Fuel range is leading a revolution in endurance fuelling. Already a favourite of INEOS Grenadiers, the team has been instrumental in testing and developing the new formula since 2020, fuelling Tao Geoghegan Hart to his first Grand Tour victory in the Giro that year. In simple terms, nootropics are substances that can enhance cognitive performance giving you that mental lift you might need, especially at the latter phases of exercise. So, as well as 40 grams carbohydrate at the 1:0.8 ratio of maltodextrin to fructose, the SiS Beta Fuel Gel with Nootropics contains 1 gram of the amino acid L-taurine, 250 milligrams of Cognizin® to enhance information processing and 200 milligrams of caffeine with 200 milligrams of L-theanine, the amino acid which has been shown to increase subjective feelings of alertness, while reducing feelings of ‘jitters’ that you get with caffeine alone.
