Science in Sport Beta Fuel 80 Dual Source Energy Drink Powder, Red Berry Flavour Carb Powder, 80 g of Carbs Per Pack (15 Pack)

Product Information

When considering trying to consume 80-120g of carbohydrate per hour, 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. Rowlands, D. S., Thorburn, M. S., Thorp, R. M., Broadbent, S., & Shi, X. (2008). Effect of graded fructose coingestion with maltodextrin on exogenous 14C-fructose and 13C-glucose oxidation efficiency and high-intensity cycling performance. Journal of Applied Physiology, 104(6), 1709-1719. By using a precise balance of maltodextrin and fructose, rather than a single form of carbohydrate, performance improved with Science in Sport Beta Fuel, whilst avoiding any digestion issues. This new range uses a ratio of maltodextrin to fructose at 1:0.8 (previous 2:1) has been proven to: It takes around 500g of carbohydrate to fill your glycogen stores and, at most, this will last you for 60-90 minutes of running at 55-75 percent of your maximal heart rate,' explains leading sports dietician Renee McGregor. 'The faster you go, the sooner your stores will deplete.'

That means for all of these distances you need to consider your fuelling strategy. Before the event it might be worth considering carbohydrate loading strategies (purposely consuming more carbohydrate in the days running up to an event), but importantly you need to consider your carbohydrate consumption during exercise, both what you will be consuming and when.

Neurocognitive effects of acute choline supplementation in low, medium and high performer healthy volunteers. Pharmacology Biochemistry and Behavior, 131, 119-129. The 120g carbohydrate intake can be achieved from our drink, gel or jelly chew, or any combination of the three 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) If you eat a balanced diet, your body can only store enough carbohydrate for around 90-120 minutes of exercise. Standard (Olympic), middle (70.3) and full (140.6) distance triathlons will all take over this amount of time.INCREASED CARB EFFICIENCY: 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 Haskell, C.

These results have never been seen before and change everything we thought we knew about endurance fuelling guidelines – and the performance potential in elite endurance racing. Who is SiS Beta Fuel for? SiS says the new Beta Fuel range is already a favourite of Ineos Grenadiers and that the team has been instrumental in testing and developing the new formula since 2020, with it fuelling Tao Geoghegan Hart to his first Grand Tour victory in the Giro that year.

O’Brien, W. J., & Rowlands, D. S. (2011). Fructose-maltodextrin ratio in a carbohydrate-electrolyte solution differentially affects exogenous carbohydrate oxidation rate, gut comfort, and performance. American Journal of Physiology-Gastrointestinal and Liver Physiology, 300(1), G181-G189. In simple terms, nootropics are substances that can enhance cognitive performance giving you that mental lift you might need, especially at the latter phases of exercise. So, as well as 40 grams carbohydrate at the 1:0.8 ratio of maltodextrin to fructose, the SiS Beta Fuel Gel with Nootropics contains 1 gram of the amino acid L-taurine, 250 milligrams of Cognizin® to enhance information processing and 200 milligrams of caffeine with 200 milligrams of L-theanine, the amino acid which has been shown to increase subjective feelings of alertness, while reducing feelings of ‘jitters’ that you get with caffeine alone.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. Understanding which energy powder is right for you and suits your needs for training and competition is key to fuelling efficiently. At Science in Sport, we have three options and it’s important to understand the key differences between each of these powders so you can make the right choice for you. But firstly, why energy powder?
