Product Information

This unique range of products are all naturally flavoured and can be used in combination to optimise performance during endurance exercise, giving you a scientifically superior fuel source allowing you to unleash your energy. Knott, V., de la Salle, S., Choueiry, J., Impey, D., Smith, D., Smith, M., …& Labelle, A. (2015). Neurocognitive effects of acute choline supplementation in low, medium and high performer healthy volunteers. Pharmacology Biochemistry and Behavior, 131, 119-129. Great for endurance athletes that are trying to go the distance. The Beta Fuel 80 delivers an optimised 80g of carbohydrate in a single, convenient isotonic fuelling solution with minimal risk of GI discomfort. Energy powders allows us to ingest carbohydrate in an easy-to-consume liquid format within your bottle. It also gives a nicer flavour than water alone making your drink more palatable. It’s important to consider consuming carbohydrate for any exercise longer than 90 minutes, this is because naturally we can only store enough energy for this long (if we’re following a healthy balanced diet of course), after this we need to supplement our energy stores. Energy powders are a great option for this, especially if energy gels or solid food are not your favourite. Science in Sport Energy Powders GO Energy Rowlands, D. S., Thorburn, M. S., Thorp, R.

Not only will you not be enjoying yourself, but you also won’t be performing your best. Gastrointestinal issues during running vary between individuals but most have experienced some form of stomach issue. 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.A ratio of 1:0.8 increases % of ingested CHO that was oxidised (efficiency) from 62% (2:1) to 74% (1:0.8) (O’Brien et al) We recommend consuming 50g (3 scoops) with 500ml of water every 45-60 min of exercise or you can consume up to 4 servings per day with or between meals as part of a carbohydrate loading strategy in the run up to an event. Once prepared consume within 24 hours. What our customer’s say: The unique 1:0.8 ratio of maltodextrin to fructose increases the percentage of ingested carbohydrate that is oxidised from 62% to 74% when compared to a more standard ratio of 2:1. This, specially formulated, ratio also reduces the self-reported symptoms of stomach fullness, especially when compared to a 2:1 ratio. For those who like to consume gels whilst running, the SiS Beta Fuel Gel with Nootropics could be a game changer during that last push. Ideal for when you are in the last quarter of your marathon, you know the end is near, it is all going to be worth it, but your physically and mentally exhausted and in need of a boost to help give you that push to the finish.

The new SiS Beta Fuel Powder solution contains 80 grams of carbohydrate at this 1:0.8 ratio, in a neutral pH formula still maintaining the signature isotonic format to minimise gastrointestinal issues. The Powder is available in Orange, Strawberry and Lime and Red Berry flavours. The new Beta Fuel Powder solution contains 80 grams of carbohydrate at this 1:0.8 ratio, in a neutral pH formula that maintains the signature isotonic format to minimise gastrointestinal issues.For the INEOS Grenadiers team, SiS Beta Fuel has been a gamechanger. Originally launched by Science in Sport in 2018, it famously powered Chris Froome’s sensational 80km solo ride on Stage 19 of the 2018 Giro D’Italia. Science in Sport call it scientifically superior. And it is. I've been using SIS Beta Fuel for the past 10 or so months for road and cyclo-cross racing. It has been fabulous, giving me a noticeable boost in energy during the second half of a race. I've had no stomach issues and it's much easier to use, in my experience, than energy gels. For me, Beta Fuel has been a game changer and one that I'm happy to pay for. The key difference in the new SiS Beta Fuel range is the change in the ratio of maltodextrin to fructose, previously being 2:1 and now moving to 1:0.8. In comparison to the 2:1 ratio, the 1:0.8 ratio has now been proven to:

However, as the reporter says, that’s an awful lot of carbs in 500ml and you would have to ride at some tempo to need that many in so little fluid (I.e. you may as well have a gel!) SiS Beta Fuel works by providing these two different forms of carbohydrate which can be simultaneously absorbed. This was successfully tested by world leading associations and teams before becoming the naturally flavoured, informed sport certified product you know today. In a world first, our new study shows that athletes can tolerate 120 grams of carbohydrate per hour, significantly higher than the 90 grams previously recommended. Even after three hours of sustained effort, 50% of energy used was from the Science in Sport Beta Fuel, with no cross-over from carbohydrate to fat usage taking place.

The SiS Beta Fuel gel contains 40g of carbohydrate also at the 1:0.8 ratio of maltodextrin to fructose. The SiS Beta Fuel gel with nootropics also contains 40g carbohydrate, but with cognitive enhancing nootropic compounds that give you that mental lift you might need, especially at the latter phases of exercise. The SiS Beta Fuel Gel with Nootropics is available in Apple and Lemon and Lime flavours. For optimal results we recommend consuming the Nootropic Gel during the latter phases of your exercise with a maximum of one serving per day. In the first study of its kind, SiS tested feeding athletes with 120g of Science in Sport Beta Fuel per hour, singularly, and combined across our patented range of gels, chews and drinks. The previously recommended intake for endurance fuelling was 90g per hour and the results are something that has never been seen before:

For training and competition of 2 – 2.5 hours or more, SiS Beta Fuel is the next generation of endurance fuelling.The 120g carbohydrate intake can be achieved from our drink, gel or jelly chew, or any combination of the three The Science in Sport Beta Fuel range provides a variety of performance solutions to choose from to build your ultimate nutrition strategy. You might already have used our SiS Beta Fuel Powder, so other than having new SiS Beta Fuel options in Gels and Chews, what is different about it?
