x SiS Beta Fuel Chew Bars, one of each of the Lemon and Orange flavours – 80 grams (40 g per bar – 7 g per chew) The new Beta Fuel is available as energy drink powder, gels (including gels with nootropics for improved cognitive function) and chew bars in a variety of flavours. So, in 2018, SiS Beta Fuel was developed to enable us to increase carbohydrate oxidation to more than 60 grams per hour and to achieve that, we combined another form of carbohydrate, which has a different transporter, fructose. Because fructose has a different transporter than glucose, a dual source formulation allows for greater carbohydrate delivery to our muscles during exercise, therefore increasing how much carbohydrate we can use. During the swim, most will choose not to fuel for obvious reasons (no one’s nutrition tastes nice soggy!), but it is still doable. You can either take a gel just before starting the triathlon or, although most don’t, if you feel you need to consume nutrition during the swim, you can store an SiS Beta Fuel Gel down the sleeve of your wetsuit. You will have to stop and tread water to consume it, but it is an option if necessary. BIKE It takes around 500g of carbohydrate to fill your glycogen stores and, at most, this will last you for 60-90 minutes of running at 55-75 percent of your maximal heart rate,' explains leading sports dietician Renee McGregor. 'The faster you go, the sooner your stores will deplete.'

Fit our Beta Fuels into your fuelling plan

For those who want to consume gels, the SiS Beta Fuel Gel with Nootropics is a powerful addition for the last push to the finish. Nootropics are substances that can enhance cognitive performance giving you that mental lift you might need, especially at the latter phases of exercise. Fructose has a different transporter than glucose, a dual source formulation allows for greater carbohydrate delivery to our muscles during exercise, therefore increasing how much carbohydrate we can use. Swimming, cycling and running in multiple distances to choose from. Triathlon can be a complex sport alone without considering its fourth discipline – nutrition. Our science-based solution, the combination of maltodextrin and fructose in an isotonic formula, is still the key to SiS Beta Fuel, as the transportation of nutrients across the intestinal wall is a rate limiting factor in carbohydrate oxidation during exercise.

I also started using the Beta Fuel chews. The chews come in Orange and Lemon flavours and provide 46g of carbohydrate. In my opinion these are a welcome change, providing a jelly-like texture different to any other SIS product, the lemon flavour being my personal preference. They’re not too chewy and are easy to consume on both the bike and the run, personally my favourite product from the new range! The combination of maltodextrin and fructose is key to SiS Beta Fuel, which is leading a revolution in endurance fuelling. This combination allows enhanced carbohydrate delivery and utilisation during exercise, whilst minimising gastrointestinal issues.The new SiS Beta Fuel is a performance solution for any endurance athlete that trains/competes in sessions/events over ~2 hours. About The SiS Beta Fuel Range I started using Beta Fuel in training (golden rule, nothing new on race day!), primarily the Beta Fuel powder. The Beta Fuel powder takes a little bit of time to dissolve fully but is then completely smooth and has a really nice consistency. I tried both flavours and personally recommend the Red Berry. During a standard distance triathlon taking approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes with the aim of consuming 80–120 g of carbohydrate per hour (200-300 grams in total), you could use the SiS Beta Fuel range in the following format: DISCIPLINE, SIS BETA FUEL OPTION & AMOUNT OF CARBOHYDRATE Swim 1500m – 1 x SiS Beta Fuel Gel in Strawberry & Lime before getting in the water – 40 grams For the INEOS Grenadiers, SiS BETA Fuel has long been a gamechanger. Originally launched in 2018, it famously powered Chris Froome’s sensational 80km solo ride on Stage 19 of the 2018 Giro d’Italia. The Tour de France is arguably the greatest cycling event in the world. The Tour itself, covers an incredible 3,404km over 21 days, this year with just two stages breaking the 200km barrier – stage 2 Vitoria-Gasteiz > Saint-Sebastien (209km) and stage 8 Libourne > Limoges (201km).

It is well known that sub-optimal nutrition is well associated with a decrease in performance, therefore fuelling strategically for ultra-endurance distances is highly important. Though it does come with difficulties such as the development of gastrointestinal symptoms, appetite suppression, practical or logistical issues and taste fatigue i.e. getting bored of the same thing over and over again. Dehydration during running can also result in stomach issues being reported, as such when comparing runners in a dehydrated or hydrated state, 37.5% of runners in the dehydrated state reported gastrointestinal complaints. 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). Even after 3 hours of sustained effort 50% of energy used was from the SiS Beta Fuel, rather than the body’s own fuel stores, with no cross-over from carbohydrate to fat usage taking placeThe GO Electrolyte powder is a blend of easily digestible carbohydrate with added electrolytes such as sodium to promote optimal hydration. The Beta Fuel energy chews are a scientifically superior fuel source giving an optimised ratio of maltodextrin and fructose in a delicious sweet-like format. Think jelly cubes in a bar for the texture, super easy to consume with high carbohydrate content. One Sachet of Beta Fuel contains 80g of carbohydrate, we recommend mixing this with 600ml of water. Sip little and often during prolonged exercise. What our customer’s say: Jeukendrup, A. E. (2013).

Here is a summary table to help compare the different energy products and their additional benefits. Unfortunately it's not just as simple as going double strength as this may cause the stomach problems that the Beta Fuel is designed to avoid. The SiS Beta Fuel Gel with Nootropics is available in Apple and Lemon and Lime flavours. For optimal results we recommend consuming the Nootropic Gel during the latter phases of your exercise with a maximum of one serving per day.Carbohydrate ingestion in the form of a carbohydrate-electrolyte solution in the first hour of running exercise, in comparison to just consuming water alone can delay time to fatigue by 15 minutes.
