Developed in close collaboration with elite athletes, our Performance Solutions team has invested significant efforts in research and development to create a scientifically superior fuel with the Beta Fuel range. Through rigorous studies and testing, we have demonstrated that our gel offers substantial advantages over traditional ratios. Studies conducted by O'Brien et al in 2013 have shown that athletes using Beta Fuel can effectively utilize over 17% more carbohydrate, resulting in assisting with performance and endurance.

One of the key findings from these studies is that our gel, with its 1:0.8 carbohydrate ratio, assists with exogenous carbohydrate oxidation by 17% compared to a 2:1 ratio. This increase in oxidation means that the body can efficiently convert the ingested carbohydrates into usable energy, leading to a significant boost in energy production during exercise. This heightened energy availability allows athletes to sustain higher intensity efforts for longer durations, ultimately improving performance.

In addition to the improved energy production, the Beta Fuel gel has been shown to assists with mean power output by 3% during maximal sprint efforts when compared to the 2:1 ratio. This increase in power output can be attributed to the optimized carbohydrate ratio, which provides athletes with the necessary fuel to generate greater force and speed during intense bursts of activity.

Furthermore, the gel significantly improves the efficiency of carbohydrate utilization. Ingested carbohydrates are oxidized more effectively, with the percentage of oxidized carbohydrates increasing from 62% (with a 2:1 ratio) to 74% (with the 1:0.8 ratio). This efficiency ensures that a higher proportion of the carbohydrates consumed actually contribute to energy production, minimizing wastage and maximizing performance benefits.

Lastly, the Beta Fuel gel has been proven to reduce symptoms of stomach fullness and nausea when compared to the 2:1 ratio. This is particularly important for endurance athletes who often experience gastrointestinal discomfort during prolonged activities. By incorporating the 1:0.8 ratio, our gel provides a solution that minimizes these discomforts, allowing athletes to perform at their best without distractions or limitations.

Key Benefits of Beta Fuel Gel

• Optimal carbohydrate delivery: Each Beta Fuel Gel contains 40g of carbohydrate, providing the ideal fuel source for endurance athletes who need to consume 80-120g per hour.
• Assists with performance: The 1:0.8 carbohydrate ratio in our gel has been scientifically proven to increase power output during intense efforts and improve carbohydrate utilization efficiency.
• Reduced gastrointestinal discomfort: Unlike other gels with different carbohydrate ratios, Beta Fuel Gel minimizes symptoms of stomach fullness and nausea, ensuring a comfortable and seamless experience.
• Scientifically backed: Developed in collaboration with elite athletes and supported by research studies, our gel offers a scientifically superior formulation to support your performance goals.
• Convenient and easy to use: The gel comes in a single-serving package that can be easily carried and consumed during your training sessions or races, providing a hassle-free fuelling solution.

How does it work?

The Beta Fuel Dual Source Energy Gel works by delivering a carefully balanced ratio of carbohydrates to optimize your energy production during endurance activities. The 1:0.8 ratio, as supported by scientific studies, assists with the body's ability to oxidize exogenous carbohydrates by 17% compared to traditional 2:1 ratios. This means that more energy can be produced from the carbohydrates consumed, leading to improved power output and performance.

Furthermore, the gel increases the efficiency of carbohydrate utilization, allowing a higher percentage of ingested carbohydrates to be oxidized. This translates to a more effective utilization of the fuel source, ensuring that your body can sustain prolonged activity without depletion.

Importantly, the Beta Fuel Gel also addresses the issue of gastrointestinal discomfort commonly experienced by endurance athletes during intense exercise. By utilizing the 1:0.8 ratio, it minimizes symptoms of stomach fullness and nausea compared to the 2:1 ratio, ensuring a smoother and more comfortable experience during your training or racing.

In summary, the Beta Fuel Dual Source Energy Gel leverages a scientifically optimized carbohydrate ratio to assist with energy production, improve performance, and reduce gastrointestinal discomfort. With its convenient single-serving packaging, this gel provides a reliable and effective fueling solution for endurance athletes, enabling them to maintain optimal performance and reach their goals.
