Beta Fuel dual-source energy chews are a chewable carbohydrate product. Each bar contains 46 grams of carbohydrates.
Endurance athletes training for more than two hours are recommended to consume 80–120 g of carbohydrates per hour. Beta Fuel dual-source energy chews provide 46 g of fast-absorbing carbohydrates. The carbohydrate ratio is optimised to help increase power and carbohydrate utilisation efficiency without gastrointestinal discomfort.
Compared with a 2:1 ratio, the 1:0,8 glucose-to-fructose ratio increases the proportion of consumed carbohydrates that are oxidised (utilised) from 62% to 74% and reduces symptoms of stomach fullness.
The Beta Fuel range was developed in close collaboration with elite athletes. The 1:0,8 ratio is stated to enable the use of +17 % more carbohydrates. Compared with a 2:1 ratio, it increases exogenous CHO oxidation by 17% and 10 %. The 1:0,8 ratio also increases average power over 10 maximal sprint efforts by 3%, compared with a 2:1 ratio, and increases the proportion of consumed CHO oxidised from 62% (2:1) to 74% (1:0,8). Compared with a 2:1 ratio, the 1:0,8 ratio reduces symptoms of stomach fullness and nausea. This information is based on research by O'Brien et al.
Each chew bar contains 46 grams of carbohydrates. Depending on your sport or event, consume 1–3 bars per hour during exercise to reach 80–120 g of carbohydrates. More may be needed in certain circumstances, such as cold weather. Remove the bars from the packet and eat as a bar or break into individual chews, each containing approximately 7 grams of carbohydrates. Use alone or with other energy supplements from the Beta Fuel range to consume 80–120 g of carbohydrates per hour.
