SiS Beta Fuel Gel, part of a comprehensive range of world-leading supplement solutions including drinks and chew bars, the Beta Fuel Dual Source Energy Gel is optimized with a brand new 1: 0.8 ratio of 40g of carbohydrates to increase potency, optimize carbohydrate absorption and reduce gastrointestinal disorders, for a supplementary solution with a superior scientific formulation. As an endurance athlete (your events typically last over two hours) you need to consume between 80 and 120g of carbohydrates per hour. The Science in Sport Beta Fuel Dual Source Energy Gel provides 40g of optimized carbohydrates in a single and convenient energy solution, with a minimal risk of gastrointestinal upset that allows you to maintain optimal performance. A ratio of 1: 0.8 between maltodextrin and fructose increases the percentage of ingested oxidized carbohydrates (efficiency) from 62% to 74% compared to a ratio of 2: 1. A 1: 0.8 ratio of maltodextrin to fructose reduces self-reported symptoms of gastric fullness compared to a 2: 1 ratio. With the help of the Performance Solutions team, SiS has worked closely with professional athletes on the research and development of the new Beta Fuel range to offer a superior scientifically formulated supplement, offered in a range of formats to absorb 17 % more carbohydrates (O'Brien et al., 2013). Each gel contains 40 grams of carbohydrates. Depending on the sport or event, you should consume 1 to more than 3 gels per hour during exercise to reach the target dose of 80-120g. In some circumstances, such as in cold weather, it may be necessary to take more. Simply tear off the top of the package and ingest the contents as and when needed.
