The Beta Fuel Energy Chews are a brilliant fuelling option for high-intensity riding. The texture is a nice bridge between a gel and a bar, they pair well with the other Beta Fuel products, and they're easy to wolf down between efforts.

If you’re not used to consuming this much carbohydrate during exercise it is a good idea to test it out to ensure the body is capable. You may have to build up the amount of carbohydrate gradually, as you would when building up your training.Generally, Wiener recommends consuming 1g of carbs per kilo of bodyweight every 60 minutes. So, if you weigh 80kg, aim for 80g of carbs per hour of exercise. Priyankaa has an MA in Magazine Journalism from Cardiff University and over five years’ experience in health and fitness journalism.

A 1:0.8 ratio of glucose to fructose reduces self-reported symptoms of stomach fullness when compared with a ratio of 2:1

The new enhanced Beta Fuel formula allows you to increase your carbohydrate intake to around 80-120g per hour as a result of the optimised 1:0.8 maltodextrin and fructose ratio. This will aid your performance by minimising gastrointestinal distress and enabling faster absorption. However, if you’re new to performance nutrition products, it is important to practice consuming this amount of carbohydrate. Individual requirements will vary depending on body weight and it may take time to adapt. We recommend you practice your nutrition during training to find the optimal amount that works for you. Our Beta Fuel Dual Source Energy Chews deliver scientifically superior fuel in unique and satisfying chews. Part of an entire world-leading fuelling solution range that includes drinks and gels, they are super easy to consume and deliver 46 grams of carbohydrate to improve and maintain optimum performance.

McGregor recommends consuming 30-60g of carbs per hour for the first three hours of running, increasing to 60-90g of carbs per hour if you’re still going after that. This can be in the form of gels, drinks or solids. Haskell, C. F., Kennedy, D. O., Milne, A. L., Wesnes, K. A., & Scholey, A. B. (2008). The effects of L-theanine, caffeine and their combination on cognition and mood. Biological psychology, 77(2), 113-122. Without compromising taste or consistency, you can double the amount of carbohydrate in comparison to normal gels which is great on longer distance races when you have limited storage on the bike. Fair enough, but you will NEVER pay RRP for Bulk Powders products, they swap from one offer to another constantly, usually 40-50% off. Even at full RRP it is still less than half the price of the SIS Beta Fuel, so I can’t imagine there is a huge market for cyclists who need Beta Fuel over a significantly cheaper option with the odd gel (which you can pre cut the sachet to rip open easily with your teeth mid race).

The SiS Beta Fuel Gel with Nootropics is available in Apple and Lemon and Lime flavours. For optimal results we recommend consuming the Nootropic Gel during the latter phases of your exercise with a maximum of one serving per day.The new range of Beta Fuel products has an optimised ratio of maltodextrin to fructose. Our previous version used a ratio of 2:1, whilst the new range is 1:0.8. The new Beta Fuel is available as energy drink powder, gels (including gels with nootropics for improved cognitive function) and chew bars in a variety of flavours. The new SiS Beta Fuel range is leading a revolution in endurance fuelling by utilising an optimised ratio of maltodextrin to fructose, providing a science-based complete fuelling solution for cyclists.
