Part of an entire world-leading fuelling solution range that includes drinks and chews, our Beta Fuel Dual Source Energy Gel is optimised with a brand new 1:0.8 ratio of 40g carbohydrate to enhance your power output, increase your body's carbohydrate usage efficiency, and limit gastrointestinal discomfort to deliver a scientifically superior fuel.
The Beta Fuel Dual Source Energy Gel is an advanced endurance fuel optimized with a cutting-edge 1:0.8 carbohydrate ratio (40g per gel), improving performance and reducing gastrointestinal (GI) discomfort. The energy gel is part of an integrated fueling range, including drinks and chews, designed to boost carbohydrate efficiency during endurance activities.
Why Use Beta Fuel Dual Source Energy Gel:
- Endurance athletes (events lasting more than 2 hours) require 80-120g of carbs per hour.
- Each gel delivers 40g of optimally balanced carbohydrates in a single convenient pack.
- The 1:0.8 carbohydrate ratio (maltodextrin to fructose) boosts carbohydrate absorption efficiency from 62% to 74%, compared to the previous 2:1 ratio.
- Minimizes the risk of GI discomfort during exercise.
Key Advantages of the 1:0.8 Ratio:
- Enhanced Oxidation: The new ratio increases carbohydrate oxidation by 17% compared to the 2:1 ratio.
- Improved Power Output: Increases mean power output during intense sprints by 3%.
- Reduced Discomfort: Decreases symptoms of stomach fullness and nausea by comparison to the 2:1 ratio.
Scientific Backing:
Research by O'Brien et al. (2013) highlights that the 1:0.8 ratio provides superior energy delivery and reduced GI stress, helping athletes sustain peak performance.
