1x Beta Fuel Gel - 60ml - with 40g of Carbohydrates
WORLD-LEADING ENERGY GEL OPTIMIZED WITH A NEW CARBON HYDRATE RATE
Part of a range of world-leading fueling solutions including beverages and chews, our Dual Source Fuel Beta Energy Gel is optimized with a new 1:0.8 ratio of 40g carbohydrates to increase your energy production, increase the efficiency of your body's carbohydrate use and limiting gastrointestinal discomfort to provide scientifically superior fuel.
WHY YOU SHOULD USE BETA FUEL DUAL SOURCE ENERGY GEL
As an endurance athlete (your events usually last more than two hours), you need to ingest between 80-120g of carbs per hour. Science in Sport's Dual Source Fuel Beta Energy Gel delivers optimized 40g of carbohydrates in a single convenient fueling solution with minimal risk of gastrointestinal discomfort that allows you to maintain optimal performance.
NEW 1: 0.8 RATIO REPLACES 2: 1 RATIO
A 1:0.8 maltodextrin to fructose ratio increases the percentage of ingested carbohydrate that is oxidized (known as efficiency) from 62% to 74% compared to a 2:1 ratio
A 1:0.8 maltodextrin to fructose ratio reduces self-reported symptoms of stomach fullness compared to a 2:1 ratio
THE SCIENCE BEHIND BETA FUEL EVOLVED
Through our Performance Solutions team, we work closely with elite athletes in the research and development of the new Beta Fuel line to bring you scientifically superior fuel in a variety of formats that allow the use of +17% hydrates of carbon (O'Brien et al, 2013).
A ratio of 1:0.8 increases the oxidation of exogenous CHO compared to a ratio of 2:1 by 17% (O'Brien et al) and 10% (O'Brien et al)
A ratio of 1:0.8 increases average power over 10 maximal sprint efforts by 3% compared to a ratio of 2:1 (O'Brien et al)
A ratio of 1:0.8 increases the % of ingested CHO that has been oxidized (efficiency) from 62% (2:1) to 74% (1:0.8) (O'Brien et al)
A ratio of 1:0.8 reduces symptoms of full stomach and nausea compared to a ratio of 2:1 (O'Brien et al)
