Science in Sport Beta Fuel Dual Source Energy Chews, Energy Bars, Lemon Flavour, 45 g of Carbs, 60g Bar (6 Pack)

Product Information

Nootropics are supplements that can improve or maintain peak cognitive performance such as attention, focus, creativity, motivation, memory and so on. We've combined our innovative Beta Fuel Energy Gel with nootropics to offer endurance athletes a complete energy source for both body and mind because you need peak mental function when the demands are most physical.

So, in 2018, SiS Beta Fuel was developed to enable us to increase carbohydrate oxidation to more than 60 grams per hour and to achieve that, we combined another form of carbohydrate, which has a different transporter, fructose. Because fructose has a different transporter than glucose, a dual source formulation allows for greater carbohydrate delivery to our muscles during exercise, therefore increasing how much carbohydrate we can use. By using a precise balance of maltodextrin and fructose (1:0.8), rather than a single form of carbohydrate, performance improved with Science in Sport Beta Fuel, whilst avoiding any digestion issues. We have shown that athletes are able to tolerate 120 grams of SiS Beta Fuel per hour, significantly higher than the current recommended intake of 90gms per hour, with no stomach upset. Though it is important to note, individuals may take time to adapt to consuming this amount of carbohydrate and the optimal amount per hour may also vary slightly depending on the individuals body weight, it is important to practice your nutrition during training to find the optimal amount that works for you. The new SiS Beta Fuel powder solution will contain 80g of carbohydrate at this 1:0.8 ratio, in a neutral pH formula still maintaining the signature isotonic format to minimise gastrointestinal issues.

Through our Performance Solutions team, we've worked closely with elite athletes in the research and development of the new Beta Fuel range to bring you a scientifically superior fuel in a range of formats that allow you to use +17% more carbohydrate (O’Brien et al, 2013). The combination of maltodextrin and fructose used in SiS Beta Fuel at a ratio of 1:0.8 provides a formula to enhance carbohydrate delivery and utilisation during exercise, whilst minimising gastrointestinal issues. The new enhanced Beta Fuel formula allows you to increase your carbohydrate intake to around 80-120g per hour as a result of the optimised 1:0.8 maltodextrin and fructose ratio. This will aid your performance by minimising gastrointestinal distress and enabling faster absorption. The groundbreaking research behind Beta Fuel Energy Chews has yielded impressive results. Studies conducted by O'Brien et al. have shown that the 1:0.8 carbohydrate ratio found in our energy chews offers significant advantages over the traditional 2:1 ratio. Here's how it works:

Let’s start the night before and ensure your glycogen stores are topped up. After dinner, I drink one serving of Maurten 320 Mix or two servings of Enervit IsoCarb. But we didn’t stop there. Since originally developing SiS Beta Fuel with maltodextrin and fructose at a ratio of 2:1, we have continued to evolve it and now we are introducing a new, enhanced version of SiS Beta Fuel, not only as a powder, but as a new range of products that provide a complete fuelling solution. Our science-based solution, the combination of maltodextrin and fructose in an isotonic formula, is still the key to SiS Beta Fuel, as the transportation of nutrients across the intestinal wall is a rate limiting factor in carbohydrate oxidation during exercise.

If you need a hit of energy to get you through a long, hard workout, your best bet is to grab an energy drink, gel, chew or bar.Those with sensitive stomachs might also prefer to take on solids – such as energy chews or bars – which can also provide some welcome variety in texture and flavour and so work well if running for long periods of time. The SiS Beta Fuel Gel with Nootropics is available in Apple and Lemon and Lime flavours. For optimal results we recommend consuming the Nootropic Gel during the latter phases of your exercise with a maximum of one serving per day. Increased Power Output: Athletes using Beta Fuel Energy Chews with a 1:0.8 ratio demonstrated a 3% improvement in mean power output during ten maximal sprint efforts compared to those using the 2:1 ratio. BETA Fuel DrinkFirst launched in 2018, the original Science in Sport Beta Fuel drink was an isotonic product using both maltodextrin and fructose at a ratio of 2:1 to optimise carbohydrate delivery and utilisation during exercise, while minimising gastrointestinal issues. The Beta Fuel Energy Chews are a brilliant fuelling option for high-intensity riding. The texture is a nice bridge between a gel and a bar, they pair well with the other Beta Fuel products, and they're easy to wolf down between efforts.

This unique range of products are all naturally flavoured and can be used in combination to optimise performance during endurance exercise, giving you a scientifically superior fuel source allowing you to unleash your energy. So as runners, we need to be consuming both adequate carbohydrate whilst also staying hydrated to perform at our best and hopefully avoid gastrointestinal issues. Haskell, C. F., Kennedy, D. O., Milne, A. L., Wesnes, K. A., & Scholey, A. B. (2008). The effects of L-theanine, caffeine and their combination on cognition and mood. Biological psychology, 77(2), 113-122.Long been favoured by elite athletes, our famous Science in Sport Beta Fuel Energy Drink has now been optimised, making it a scientifically superior fuel. A brand new 1:0.8 ratio of 80g carbohydrate enhances your power output, increases your body's carbohydrate usage efficiency, and limits gastrointestinal discomfort. Start of workout I’ll take 1 Caffeinated Gel ( Maurten 100 Caf 100 or SiS Go Energy + Caffeine). This is more for when I’m racing, but if it is a big all out effort, you should follow the same strategy as if it was race day. Not only will you not be enjoying yourself, but you also won’t be performing your best. Gastrointestinal issues during running vary between individuals but most have experienced some form of stomach issue. 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) Though it is important to note, individuals may take time to adapt to consuming this amount of carbohydrate and the optimal amount per hour may also vary slightly depending on the individuals body weight. It is important to practice your nutrition during training to find the optimal amount that works for you.
