SiS Beta Fuel Gel Raspberry and Lemon with Electrolytes
An energy gel that combines 40 grams of carbohydrates with 200 mg of sodium per 60 ml gel. SiS Beta Fuel Gel Raspberry and Lemon with Electrolytes uses the same 1:0.8 maltodextrin to fructose ratio as the rest of the Beta Fuel range, but contains significantly more sodium than the standard Beta Fuel gel. Intended for prolonged effort in hot weather or with high sweat rates, when you want to replenish energy and electrolytes at the same time without managing multiple products. Fresh raspberry and lemon flavor. Gluten-free, suitable for vegans, Informed Sport certified.
200 mg of sodium per gel, intentionally added
The standard Beta Fuel gel contains a small amount of sodium as a byproduct of sodium citrate present in acidity regulation. This variant contains 200 mg of sodium per gel via sodium chloride as a separate ingredient. This is comparable to the sodium content of half an HYDRO tablet. With two gels per hour, you get 400 mg of sodium in addition to 80 grams of carbohydrates. For moderate sweat rates, this is a useful intake. In hot weather or intense effort with sweat rates of 1000 mg or more per hour, additional intake via drinking water remains advisable.
Energy and electrolytes in one format
Anyone who wants to maintain both carbohydrates and sodium during prolonged effort normally carries an energy gel in one pocket and an HYDRO tablet or sachet in the other. Or an electrolyte bottle that is sometimes lost or forgotten. This gel combines both components in a single sachet. This reduces the risk of forgetting and makes the nutritional strategy a little easier to manage in the final phase of a long ride or competition, when concentration decreases.
Same carbohydrate base as the Beta Fuel range
40 grams of carbohydrates per 60 ml gel in a 1:0.8 maltodextrin to fructose ratio. Maltodextrin goes directly to the muscles via the SGLT1 transporter, fructose passes through the liver and GLUT5. By simultaneously using both transport pathways, the carbohydrate oxidation efficiency increases from 62% with a 2:1 ratio to 74%, as demonstrated in comparative studies. No water needed, ready to consume directly.
Caffeine-free, unlimited combination
The gel contains neither caffeine nor nootropics. There is no daily limit. You can combine it freely with classic Beta Fuel gels, the Beta Fuel 80 sachet, or the Beta Fuel Nootropics gel without worrying about the total caffeine intake. In a strategy where you take the nootropics gel at a specific point in the race, you supplement the remaining hours with this electrolyte gel.
The product is relatively new to the Beta Fuel range and currently available in only one flavor: raspberry and lemon. The flavor has been intentionally kept fresh and light, pleasant to consume when fatigued in the final stage of a competition.
