SiS Beta Fuel Sports Gel

The Beta Fuel Dual Source Energy Gel is part of a completely new collection of sports nutrition from SiS called Beta Fuel. The Beta Fuel Gel is optimised with the new 1:0.8 carbohydrate ratio in 40g of carbohydrates to improve your performance. As an endurance athlete, you need somewhere between 80-120g of carbohydrates per hour, especially for efforts lasting more than 2 hours. This Beta Fuel Gel ensures you'll effortlessly take up at least 40g of carbohydrates, helping you to perform at your best. The Beta Fuel Gel provides an efficient source of carbohydrates and is less likely to cause gastrointestinal distress than regular gels.

New 1:0.8 ratio
The Performance Solutions team at SiS conducted research with elite athletes and specifically developed this Beta Fuel range. The Beta Fuel range stands for science-based sports nutrition in various forms, including this gel, for optimal performance. The innovative aspect of this collection is the 1:0.8 ratio maltodextrin fructose, which ensures that the absorbed carbohydrates are actually burned: in other words, the gel's efficiency. Previously the 2:1 ratio was often used, but the new ratio has a higher efficiency and therefore reduces the risk of gastrointestinal complaints that regularly occur with the intake of sports nutrients.

The 1:0.8 ratio has the following effects, compared to the 2:1 ratio:
• Increase of 17% in exogenous CHO oxidation (O'Brien et al);
• Increase in average power delivered during 10 maximal sprints by 3%;
• Increase in efficient CHO burned relative to CHO absorbed;
• Reduction in the feeling of a full stomach and nausea.
