Why a 1:0.8 Dual-Source Carbohydrate Ratio?
SiS uses maltodextrin and fructose in a 1:0.8 ratio across the BETA Fuel range. This dual-source carbohydrate formulation is designed for athletes working towards higher carbohydrate intakes during prolonged endurance exercise.
Each SiS BETA Fuel + Electrolyte Energy Gel provides 40g of carbohydrate in a single 60ml serving, making it straightforward to calculate carbohydrate intake alongside other gels, drinks, chews or food in your fuelling strategy.
Why Are Electrolytes Added?
BETA Fuel + Electrolyte combines carbohydrate fuel with added sodium and chloride. Each 60ml gel provides 200mg of sodium and 300mg of chloride.
Science in Sport positions this version particularly for prolonged exercise in warmer conditions or situations where sweat rates may be higher. If you are also using electrolyte drinks, tablets or other electrolyte products, include those products when planning your overall electrolyte intake.
When to Use SiS BETA Fuel + Electrolyte
Science in Sport positions BETA Fuel + Electrolyte for prolonged training and competition, particularly sessions lasting around 2 hours or more and exercise in warmer conditions.
SiS suggests consuming 2–3 gels per hour during these sessions. Because each gel provides 40g of carbohydrate, 2 gels provide 80g and 3 gels provide 120g of carbohydrate. Your total intake should also account for carbohydrates coming from drinks, chews, bars or other gels.
BETA Fuel + Electrolyte can also be combined with the original SiS BETA Fuel Energy Gel as part of a mixed endurance fuelling strategy.
Individual carbohydrate needs and tolerance vary. Practise your planned intake during training before using it in an important race or event.

Which SiS Energy Gel Should You Choose?
Choose SiS BETA Fuel + Electrolyte Energy Gel when you want 40g of dual-source carbohydrate together with added sodium and chloride, particularly for prolonged endurance exercise or warmer conditions.
Choose the original SiS BETA Fuel Energy Gel when you want the same 40g dual-source carbohydrate format and prefer to manage electrolyte intake separately.
For a lower-carbohydrate isotonic option, SiS GO Isotonic Energy Gel provides 22g of carbohydrate per 60ml gel and is designed to be consumed without additional water.
For a different BETA Fuel formulation, SiS BETA Fuel + Nootropics Energy Gel also provides 40g of carbohydrate and adds 200mg of caffeine, 250mg of Cognizin® citicoline, 200mg of L-theanine and 1g of taurine per gel. Science in Sport advises a maximum of one BETA Fuel + Nootropics gel per day.
