Beta Fuel Dual Source Energy Gel is part of the Beta Fuel range, which includes drinks and chewable tablets. Each gel contains 40 g of carbohydrates. The maltodextrin-to-fructose ratio of 1:0,8 is intended to increase energy intake and the efficiency of carbohydrate use while reducing gastrointestinal discomfort.
Endurance-sport participants whose competitions usually last more than two hours are advised to consume 80-120 g of carbohydrates per hour. Science in Sport Beta Fuel Dual Source Energy Gel provides 40 g of carbohydrates in one convenient product and helps meet this amount while causing minimal gastrointestinal discomfort.
A maltodextrin-to-fructose ratio of 1:0,8 increases the proportion of oxidised carbohydrates (the so-called efficiency) from 62 % to 74 %, compared with a ratio of 2:1. A maltodextrin-to-fructose ratio of 1:0,8 also reduces participants' self-reported feelings of stomach fullness compared with a ratio of 2:1.
The Performance Solutions team worked closely with elite athletes on scientific research and the development of the Beta Fuel range. The formula allows +17 % more carbohydrates to be consumed. Compared with a ratio of 2:1, a ratio of 1:0,8 increases exogenous CHO oxidation by 17 % and 10 %. Compared with a ratio of 2:1, a ratio of 1:0,8 increases mean power across 10 maximal sprint efforts by 3 %. A ratio of 1:0,8 increases the percentage of consumed CHO oxidised (efficiency) from 62 % (2:1) to 74 % (1:0,8). A ratio of 1:0,8 reduces symptoms of stomach fullness and nausea compared with a ratio of 2:1 (O'Brien et al., 2013).
Each gel contains 40 g of carbohydrates. Depending on the sport or competition, consume 1-3 gels per hour during exercise to reach 80-120 g. More may be needed in some circumstances, such as cold weather. Tear off the top of the sachet and squeeze the contents into your mouth as needed. Consume directly from the sachet.
Combine with other Beta Fuel products to reach 80-120 g of carbohydrates per hour.
