Product Highlights

• WORLD-LEADING ENERGY GEL OPTIMISED WITH A NEW CARBOHYDRATE RATIO
  The Beta Fuel Dual Source Energy Gel is part of a world-leading fuelling solution range that includes drinks and chews. It is optimised with a brand-new 1:0.8 ratio of 40g carbohydrate to enhance your power output, increase your body's carbohydrate usage efficiency, and limit gastrointestinal discomfort for scientifically superior fuel.
• WHY YOU SHOULD USE BETA FUEL DUAL SOURCE ENERGY GEL
  As an endurance athlete, whose events typically last more than two hours, you need to take in between 80-120g of carbohydrate per hour. The Science in Sport Beta Fuel Dual Source Energy Gel delivers an optimised 40g of carbohydrate in a single, convenient fuelling solution with minimal risk of GI discomfort, enabling you to maintain optimal performance.
• NEW 1:0.8 RATIO REPLACES 2:1 RATIO
  • A 1:0.8 ratio of maltodextrin to fructose increases the percentage of ingested carbohydrate that is oxidized (known as efficiency) from 62% to 74% compared with a ratio of 2:1.
  • This ratio reduces self-reported symptoms of stomach fullness compared with a ratio of 2:1.
• THE SCIENCE BEHIND BETA FUEL HAS EVOLVED
  Through the SiS Performance Solutions team, Science in Sport has worked closely with elite athletes in the research and development of the new Beta Fuel range. The result is a scientifically superior fuel in formats that allow you to use +17% more carbohydrate (O’Brien et al, 2013). Key findings include:
  • A ratio of 1:0.8 enhances exogenous CHO oxidation compared with 2:1 ratio by 17% (O’Brien et al) and 10% (O’Brien et al).
  • A ratio of 1:0.8 enhances mean power output during 10 maximal sprint efforts by 3% compared with a 2:1 ratio (O’Brien et al).
  • A ratio of 1:0.8 increases the percentage of ingested CHO that was oxidised (efficiency) from 62% (2:1) to 74% (1:0.8) (O’Brien et al).
  • A ratio of 1:0.8 reduces symptoms of stomach fullness and nausea compared with a ratio of 2:1 (O’Brien et al).

Product Details
