A 60ml gel with 40 grams of carbohydrates per sachet. The SiS Beta Fuel Gel Strawberry & Lime delivers these carbohydrates in a 1:0.8 maltodextrin to fructose ratio, intended for efforts of more than two hours where you need 80-120 grams per hour. The flavor is a light note of strawberry and lime with a fresh tart hint. No water needed, ready to use immediately. Gluten-free, suitable for vegans, Informed Sport certified.
SiS's standard energy gel, the GO Isotonic, provides 22 grams of carbohydrates per 60 ml. The Beta Fuel Gel provides 40 grams in the same 60 ml, from two sources in a 1:0.8 maltodextrin to fructose ratio. For efforts over two hours, 80-120 grams of carbohydrates per hour are needed to maintain glycogen stores. Two Beta Fuel Gels per hour are sufficient for this. With the GO Isotonic gel, it would take almost four to achieve the same result.
Maltodextrin is absorbed in the gut via the SGLT1 transporter and goes directly to the muscles as rapidly available glucose. Fructose takes another route via GLUT5 and is processed by the liver. The liver then delivers glucose into the bloodstream, which contributes to a slightly more stable energy level over a longer period. With a 2:1 ratio, SGLT1 quickly saturates. The 1:0.8 ratio better distributes the load, increasing total oxidation efficiency from 62% to 74%, as demonstrated in a comparative study.
The Beta Fuel 80 powder sachet does not contain sodium. The gel does: sodium citrate and sodium chloride are on the ingredient list. This is a modest amount of 0.1 gram of salt per gel, but it serves a purpose. Sodium promotes glucose absorption via SGLT1 and maintains taste balance. During prolonged exertion where you sweat a lot, it does not replace all of your sodium losses. In that case, add a HYDRO tablet or a HYDRO+ sachet to your drinking water.
Two Beta Fuel Gels per hour provide 80 grams of carbohydrates. Three gels reach the upper limit of 120 grams. Combine them if you wish with the Beta Fuel 80 sachet if you have a bottle with you, or use them alone as a gel strategy if you are cycling or running without a bottle.
Twice as many carbohydrates as the GO Isotonic gel (22 grams), in the same optimized 1:0.8 maltodextrin to fructose ratio. Maltodextrin goes directly to the muscles, while fructose passes through the liver. By using both transport pathways simultaneously, your body absorbs more carbohydrates per hour than with a single source. Oxidation efficiency increases from 62% with a 2:1 ratio to 74% with the 1:0.8 ratio.
The Beta Fuel 80 powder sachet does not contain sodium. Beta Fuel Gels do: through sodium citrate and sodium chloride, there is a small amount of sodium in each gel. Not enough to act as an electrolyte replacement during heavy sweating, but enough to aid absorption and maintain taste balance. During prolonged exercise, it is best to combine them with an HYDRO tablet or an HYDRO+ sachet.
The gel is a 60 ml liquid product, ready to squeeze directly. You don't have to dissolve or mix anything. With 1 to 3 gels per hour, you reach the recommended 80 to 120 grams of carbohydrates without a bottle or shaker. Practical during time trials, uphill or in situations where you don't have a bottle or don't want to stop for a drink.
All Beta Fuel Gels are batch tested for banned substances on the WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) list by Informed Sport. No artificial colours in the formula. Gluten-free, lactose-free, wheat-free and nut-free. Suitable for vegans.

The GO Isotonic Gel delivers 22 grams of carbohydrate from a single source (maltodextrin) per 60ml gel. The Beta Fuel Gel delivers 40 grams of carbohydrate from two sources in a 1:0.8 ratio per 60ml gel. The Beta Fuel Gel is for longer endurance efforts of 2+ hours where you are aiming for 80-120 grams per hour. The GO Gel is better suited to shorter sessions, or to top up when carbohydrate requirements are lower.
With a 2:1 maltodextrin to fructose ratio, the SGLT1 transporter in the intestine quickly becomes saturated with high intakes. The 1:0.8 ratio ensures a better distribution between the two transport pathways (SGLT1 for glucose and maltodextrin, and GLUT5 for fructose), which increases oxidation efficiency from 62% to 74%. Comparative studies have demonstrated this in a supervised cycling study. Less transport bottleneck also means less risk of gastric upset with high intakes.
With the recommended 80 to 120 grams of carbohydrates per hour, you'll need 2 to 3 gels per hour, one every 20 to 30 minutes. If you combine them with the Beta Fuel 80 sachet, you'll add more carbohydrates. One sachet provides 80 grams, and one gel provides 40 grams. Adjust your intake to the intensity and duration of your effort and always test this during training first, never for the first time on race day.
It is not mandatory; the gel works like a liquid product without additional water. However, it is wise to continue drinking water during prolonged exercise, regardless of the gels. Gels contain a small amount of sodium, but in cases of intense sweating, this is not enough to maintain your electrolyte balance. In such cases, use an HYDRO tablet or an HYDRO+ sachet in addition to the gels.
The neutral variant contains no added flavors. The gel then has no particular taste. This may seem boring, but that's precisely the point: during four, five, or six-hour competitions or training sessions, fruity flavors can become tiring. The neutral variant is a response to taste fatigue. You can alternate it with other flavors or simply stick to neutral for the entire outing if you prefer.
Maurten uses hydrogel technology with a comparable carbohydrate ratio (fructose and maltodextrin) and is also isotonic. Maurten gels provide 25 grams of carbohydrates per gel (the Maurten Gel 100 provides 100 but is larger). Beta Fuel Gel provides 40 grams per 60 ml. In terms of formula, the similarities are greater than the differences. The price difference is significant. Per gram of carbohydrate, Beta Fuel Gel is cheaper.
