The SIS Beta Fuel Plus Nootropics Gels are an innovative energy source combining Cognizin® Citicoline to improve your physical and mental performance. When used as part of entire fuelling solution range that includes drinks and chew bars, the Beta Fuel Dual Source Energy Gel plus Nootropics is optimised with a 1:0.8 ration of 40g carbs to give you more power and performance. It also increases the body's carbohydrate usage efficiency so it is easily digestible preventing gastrointestinal discomfort and delivering a scientifically superior fuel efficiently to the body. Using Nootropics as a supplement will help you achieve and maintain top performance on the bike including peak cognitive performance like focus, attention, creativity, motivation and memory. The Beta Fuel Energy Gels offer endurance athletes a complete energy source for both body and mind because when the body is under physical and mental duress, it will help you keep focused and motivated.
Endurance athletes with events longer than two hours will need to consume 80 - 120 grams of carbohydrates per hour. The Science in Sport Beta Fuel Dual Source Energy Gel + Nootropics delivers an optimised 40g of carbohydrate in a single, convenient isotonic fuelling solution with minimal GI discomfort. While the carbohydrates will maintain optimum physical power output, the nootropics will ensure you maintain mental performance.

New 1:0.8 Ratio Replaces 2:1 Ratio
- 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
- A 1:0.8 ratio of maltodextrin to fructose reduces self-reported symptoms of stomach fullness when compared with a ratio of 2:1
The Science Behind Beta Fuel Has Evolved
Through our Performance Solutions team, we have worked closely with elite athletes in the research and development of the new Beta Fuel range to bring you a scientifically superior fuel in a range of formats that allow you to use +17% more carbohydrate (O’Brien et al, 2013).
- 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)
- A ratio of 1:0.8 enhances mean power output during 10 maximal sprint efforts by 3% compared with 2:1 ratio (O’Brien et al)
- 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)
- A ratio of 1:0.8 reduces symptoms of stomach fullness and nausea when compared with a ratio of 2:1 (O’Brien et al)
