SIS Beta Fuel Sports Drink Box - 15 Pieces
Science in Sport Beta Fuel is designed to deliver the maximum amount of carbohydrate in a 2: 1 ratio of Maltodextrin to Fructose, while reducing gastrointestinal issues.
The product mixed to concentration is 80 grams of carbohydrate (2: 1 maltodextrin: fructose), 20 mmol/l sodium and 500 ml of liquid per serving.
Main features:
- 2: 1 ratio maltodextrin: fructose
- 80 g total carbohydrate
- Isotonic
- pH neutral
- Natural flavors and sweetener
- Added sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium
Why is it called Beta Fuel? In development, a beta test is the second phase of testing in which a sample of the intended audience tests a product or service. Beta Fuel has been in elite testing since summer 2017, and we will continue to gather elite insight and complete performance studies in 2018.
How does Beta Fuel work? One rate-limiting factor of exogenous carbohydrate consumption during exercise is the transport of nutrients through the intestinal wall. Once the sodium-dependent transporter used to transport maltodextrin is saturated at 60 g per hour, additional carbohydrate in the form of fructose can be absorbed by another transporter, GLUT5. Fueling long endurance events (longer than 2.5 hours) requires 60-90 g of carbohydrate per hour. Beta Fuel is designed to produce these high levels of carbohydrates with minimal risk of GI issues. Why 2: 1 now for Science in Sport? 2: 1 sports drinks are not new; however, historically they have been delivered in hypertonic solutions meaning a high risk of stomach upset and therefore we have avoided them as a brand. Now, after a development cycle alongside Team Sky, the 2018 Giro D'Italia Winners, Beta Fuel is a breakthrough technology that provides the optimal dose of carbohydrates while maintaining an isotonic solution.
What is the recommended use for Beta Fuel? Mix one serving of Beta Fuel with 500 ml of liquid and drink little and often during exercise to meet refueling requirements. No complicated directions, our drink is not limited by the need to use a specific type of water like other niche brands, just mix and go.

specifications:
MAXIMUM ISOTONIC ENERGY : Added fructose allows the body to absorb 90 g of carbohydrate per hour, 50% more than the 60 g per hour achievable with glucose alone.
MINIMAL GI-DISTRESS : Unique isotonic formula means high levels of carbohydrates can be absorbed with minimal risk of gastrointestinal problems.
NATURAL TASTE : Available in Orange or Lemon Lime. Suitable for vegan, celiac, lactose-free, gluten-free, wheat-free and nut-free diets.
NO COMPLICATIONS : Ideal for endurance training over 2.5 hours and where refueling is difficult. Just mix and go.
INFIED SPORT CERTIFIED : The world's most advanced banned substance testing program.
