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

This results in improved energy output and endurance, allowing you to push harder and maintain peak performance for longer durations. Each gel contains 40 grams of energy-packed carbohydrate and features an isotonic formula meaning they can be consumed without additional water. If you only use a single-source carbohydrate, like maltodextrin, the transporter that’s specific for it becomes quite saturated at around 60g of consumption per hour, so around 1g per minute. Now we still have the 80g carbohydrate drink, but we also have a 40g Beta Fuel gel and a Beta Fuel gelly too, which supplies 46g of carbohydrates. In addition to the improved energy production, the Beta Fuel gel has been shown to enhance mean power output by 3% during maximal sprint efforts when compared to the 2:1 ratio.

Given the 'full-gas' nature of the racing, I sit firmly in the carb-dependent Zone 5 heart rate for much of the race. Through rigorous studies and testing, we have demonstrated that our gel offers substantial advantages over traditional ratios. 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. Delivering world-leading sport energy, the Science in Sport Beta Fuel gels provide 40g of carbohydrate, per gel, with an advanced 1: 0. Then it was introduced into stage races and one-day races to see how riders respond to the drink in a race situation or race environment.

ratio of maltodextrin to fructose, which increases the percentage of ingested carbohydrate that is oxidised (known as efficiency). Beta Fuel has been developed to deliver the maximum amount of carbohydrate in a 2:1 ratio of Maltodextrin to Fructose whilst limiting gastrointestinal distress. When not writing about tech news or working on the Youtube channel, you can still find him racing local crits trying to cling on to his cat 2 licence. This increase in power output can be attributed to the optimized carbohydrate ratio, which provides athletes with the necessary fuel to generate greater force and speed during intense bursts of activity. Since glucose and fructose use different carbohydrate transporters in your body, a combination of these two sugars allows you to intake up to 90 grams of carbohydrates per hour without bloating or stomach issues .

But in the heat of a race or when pocket space is low, where the carb concentration is needed, they're worth it. Beta Fuel Gel does not cause digestive issues and provides your body with 40 grams of carbohydrates per gel. The Science In Sport Beta Fuel Gel crams a ridiculously high amount of carbs into an easy-to-consume and perfectly edible product. Beta Fuel was thrust into the limelight after Chris Froome’s victory on stage 19 of the 2018 Giro d’Italia. Many energy drinks, Beta Fuel included, use a 2:1 ratio of maltodextrin (carbs) to fructose, whereas these gels use a ratio of 1:0.

Gone are the gels; I might take a caffeine one before a cyclo-cross race, but generally my nutrition needs are more than met with Beta Fuel alone. Our innovations have resulted in a product line available in various formats, catering to the unique preferences and needs of athletes. Furthermore, the Beta Fuel Energy Drink improves mean power output during maximal sprint efforts by 3% compared to the traditional 2:1 ratio, enabling athletes to generate more force and maintain a competitive edge (O'Brien et al). I'd much rather stick to SIS's Go Energy drink at 81p per serving for tough training sessions, or, most often, Ribena will do for general riding.
