As an endurance athlete, meaning 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 Drink delivers an optimised 80g of carbohydrate in a single, convenient isotonic fuelling solution with minimal risk of GI discomfort that enables you to maintain optimal performance.
NEW RATIO 1:0.8 REPLACING RATIO 2:1
A ratio of 1:0.8 maltodextrin to fructose increases the percentage of ingested carbohydrate that is oxidized (known as yield) from 62% to 74% compared to a ratio of 2:1
A ratio of 1:0.8 maltodextrin to fructose reduces self-reported symptoms of stomach fullness compared to a ratio of 2:1
THE SCIENCE BEHIND BETA FUEL HAS EVOLVED
Through the Performance Solutions team, SiS has worked closely with top athletes in the research and development of the new Beta Fuel range to bring you a scientifically superior fuel in a range of forms that allow you to use +17% more carbs (O'Brien et et al., 2013).
The 1:0.8 ratio enhances exogenous CHO oxidation compared to the 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 overeffort sprints by 3% compared to a ratio of 2:1 (O'Brien et al)
The 1:0.8 ratio increases the % of ingested CHO oxidized (yield) from 62% (2:1) to 74% (1:0.8) (O'Brien et al)
1:0.8 ratio reduces symptoms of stomach fullness and nausea compared to 2:1 ratio (O'Brien et al)
