Again, the key 1:0.8 maltodextrin to fructose ratio is used, with 40 grams of carbohydrate (7 grams per chew) – providing another form of nutrition you can build into your nutrition plan.

This unique range of products are naturally flavoured and can be used in combination to optimise performance during endurance exercise, giving you a scientifically superior fuel source.
BETA Fuel Drink
First launched in 2018, the original Science in Sport Beta Fuel drink was an isotonic product using both maltodextrin and fructose at a ratio of 2:1 to optimise carbohydrate delivery and utilisation during exercise, while minimising gastrointestinal issues.The new Beta Fuel range has a change in the ratio of maltodextrin to fructose to 1:0.8. In comparison to the (still highly scientifically impressive) 2:1 ratio, the 1:0.8 ratio has been proven to:
- Enhance total exogenous carbohydrate oxidation by 17%
- Enhance mean power output during 10 maximal sprint efforts by 3%
- Increase the percentage of ingested carbohydrate oxidised from 62% (2:1 ratio) to 74% (1:0.8 ratio)
- Reduce symptoms of stomach fullness and nausea when compared to the 2:1 ratio
