A dual-source energy gel with added electrolytes for endurance.
MAXIMISE YOUR PERFORMANCE
For athletes engaging in prolonged moderate to high-intensity exercise, >2 h in duration, to simultaneously deliver both carbohydrate and key electrolytes for when you need it most.
OPTIMAL HYDRATION
Contains 200mg of sodium per gel
SUSTAINED ENERGY
Contains 40g of carbohydrate per gel
DUAL SOURCE FORMULATION
An optimal ratio of 1:0.8 maltodextrin to fructose
DESIGNED FOR LONGER
A superior fuelling solution for exercise > 2 hours
ENERGY AND HYDRATION COMBINED
During warm weather or longer endurance exercise sessions, when sweat rates are higher than normal, your body can lose essential electrolytes through sweating. The BETA Fuel Energy + Electrolyte Gel is a dual source, carbohydrate energy gel designed with added electrolytes that can help replace those essential electrolyte losses, helping the body to maintain fluid balance and provide fast-acting energy.
A superior fuelling solution for endurance athletes undertaking exercise lasting 2 hours or more, when aiming to reach fuelling targets of between 90-120g of carbohydrate per hour.
WHY CHOOSE?
- Helps maintain carbohydrate availability during prolonged exercise
- Replaces some of the key electrolytes that are lost in sweat during exercise
- In the context of prolonged exercise, consumption of dual source blends can induce superior rates of exogenous carbohydrate oxidation when compared with single source formulations
- BETA fuel range has been proven to induce minimal gastrointestinal discomfort during prolonged exercise
- Taking 1-2 gels per hour provides a highly effective fuelling solution in those warmer situations, that is designed to deliver both carbohydrates and essential electrolytes to support optimal performance
WORLD-LEADING ENERGY GEL OPTIMISED WITH A NEW CARBOHYDRATE RATIO
Part of an entire world-leading fuelling solution range that includes drinks and chews, our Beta Fuel Dual Source Energy Gel is optimised with a brand new 1:0.8 ratio of 40g carbohydrate to enhance your power output, increase your body's carbohydrate usage efficiency, and limit gastrointestinal discomfort to deliver a scientifically superior fuel.
WHY YOU SHOULD USE BETA FUEL DUAL SOURCE ENERGY GEL
As an endurance athlete (your events typically last more than two hours) you need to take in between 80-120g of carbohydrate per hour. The Science in Sport Beta Fuel Dual Source Energy Gel delivers an optimised 40g of carbohydrate in a single, convenient fuelling solution with minimal risk of GI discomfort that enables you to maintain optimal performance.
NEW 1:0.8 RATIO REPLACES 2:1 RATIO
- A 1:0.8 ratio of maltodextrin to fructose increases the percentage of ingested carbohydrate that is oxidized (known as efficiency) from 62% to 74% when compared with a ratio of 2:1
- A 1:0.8 ratio of maltodextrin to fructose reduces self-reported symptoms of stomach fullness when compared with a ratio of 2:1
THE SCIENCE BEHIND BETA FUEL HAS EVOLVED
Through our Performance Solutions team, we have 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).
- 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)
- A ratio of 1:0.8 enhances mean power output during 10 maximal sprint efforts by 3% compared with 2:1 ratio (O’Brien et al)
- A ratio of 1:0.8 increases % of ingested CHO that was oxidised (efficiency) from 62% (2:1) to 74% (1:0.8) (O’Brien et al)
- A ratio of 1:0.8 reduces symptoms of stomach fullness and nausea when compared with a ratio of 2:1 (O’Brien et al)
HOW AND WHEN TO USE BETA FUEL DUAL SOURCE ENERGY GEL
For training and competition completed in warmer ambient conditions across a duration of 2 hours or longer, consume 2-3 gels per hour to deliver up to 80-120 g of carbohydrate per hour during exercise. Achieve this fuelling target by consuming one gel every 20 minutes of exercise.
Can be consumed alongside other products in the BETA Fuel range to provide a mix and match approach to fuelling with 80-120 g of carbohydrate per hour.
FORMULATED BY SCIENCE
Carbohydrate containing electrolyte solutions can help to improve sodium balance during exercise, thereby stimulating thirst, promoting hydration and fluid retention during exercise. This is particularly beneficial during exercise in hot and humid conditions or for individuals with elevated sweat rates.
