Why choose this product?
Endurance athletes training for more than two hours may need to consume 80–120 g of carbohydrates per hour. „Science in Sport Beta Fuel“ dual-source energy chews provide 46 g of fast-acting carbohydrates. According to the manufacturer, the carbohydrate ratio is optimised to help increase power and carbohydrate utilisation efficiency without gastrointestinal discomfort.
Glucose-to-fructose ratio
Compared with a 2:1 ratio, a glucose-to-fructose ratio of 1:0.8 increases the proportion of consumed carbohydrates that are oxidised from 62% to 74%. The manufacturer also states that a 1:0.8 ratio reduces symptoms of stomach fullness compared with a 2:1 ratio.
Research data for product development
The Beta Fuel range was developed in collaboration with elite athletes. According to the manufacturer, a 1:0.8 ratio allows +17 % more carbohydrates to be consumed. Compared with a 2:1 ratio, it increases exogenous CHO oxidation by 17% and 10 % (the information is presented as stated in the manufacturer’s text), and increases average power across 10 maximal sprint efforts by 3%. A 1:0.8 ratio increases the proportion of consumed oxidised carbohydrates from 62% (2:1) to 74% (1:0.8) and reduces symptoms of stomach fullness and nausea compared with a 2:1 ratio. The information is based on scientific studies by O'Brien et al.
