| Availability: | Ships 1-2 days |
Science in Sport Beta Fuel has been developed to deliver the maximum amount of carbohydrate in a 2:1 ratio, so to limit gastrointestinal distress.
The product mixed to concentration is 80 grams carbohydrate (2:1 maltodextrin:fructose), 20 mmol/L sodium and 500 ml of fluid per serving.
Key Features:
PRODUCT USES
Mix one serving (84 g) of Beta Fuel with 500 ml of fluid and drink little & often during exercise to meet fueling requirements.
A rate limiting factor of exogenous carbohydrate utilization during exercise is the transportation of the nutrients across the intestinal wall. Once the sodium-dependent transporter, used to transport maltodextrin, is saturated at 60 g.h additional carbohydrate can be absorbed through another transporter, GLUT5, used to transport fructose.
Fuelling requirements for long endurance events (greater than 2.5 hours) are 60-90 g of carbohydrate per hour. The ability to deliver such high levels of carbohydrate with minimized risk of GI issues is crucial to performance. Beta Fuel can be used to meet these fuelling demands in an isotonic solution.

What is Science in Sport Beta Fuel?
Beta Fuel is the world’s most powerful sports drink. Developed to deliver the maximum amount of carbohydrates in a 2:1 ratio of Maltodextrin to Fructose while limiting gastrointestinal distress
Why 2:1 now for Science in Sport?
2:1 ratio sports drinks aren’t new; however, historically they’re delivered in hypertonic solutions meaning a high risk of stomach upsets which is why we’ve avoided as a brand. Now, following a development cycle alongside Team Sky, 2018 Giro D’Italia Winners, Beta Fuel is a breakthrough technology delivering the optimal dosage of carbohydrates while maintaining an isotonic solution.
Is Beta Fuel isotonic?
Yes, when mixed to concentration (one 84 g sachet in 500 ml water) Beta Fuel is Isotonic.
How does Beta Fuel compare to other 2:1 sports drinks?
Each 500ml serving of Beta Fuel provides 80% more carbohydrate than High5 Energy Drink and 2.5 times more energy than Torq Energy Drink
How should I mix Beta Fuel?
Mix one serving (84 g) of Beta Fuel with 500 ml of fluid. No complicated directions, our drink isn’t limited by a need to use a specific type of water like other niche brands, simply mix & go.
What are the benefits of Beta Fuel?
Fueling requirements for long endurance events (greater than 2.5 hours) are 60-90 g of carbohydrate per hour. The ability to deliver such high levels of carbohydrates with minimized risk of gastrointestinal issues is crucial to performance. Beta Fuel can be used to meet these fueling demands in an isotonic solution.
How does Beta Fuel fit into my overall fueling plan?
During long endurance events greater than 2.5 hours, it is recommended to fuel with 60-90 grams of carbohydrate per hour, from the first hour. When fueling a flat, less technical ride, drink 250 ml of Beta Fuel per hour and use additional products from the GO Energy Range to fuel with 60-90 grams of carbohydrate per hour. When the route profile is challenging, i.e long climbs or technical descents, drink 125 ml of Beta Fuel every 15 minutes to fuel an hour.
What is the nutritional information per serve?
Beta Fuel is 80 grams carbohydrate, 20 mmol/L sodium and 500 ml of fluid per serving.
Are these ‘natural’?
Yes, Beta Fuel uses natural flavors and is free from colors and preservatives.
Is Beta Fuel Banned Substance Tested?
Yes, Beta Fuel is tested under the Informed Sport program.
WHY YOU SHOULD USE BETA FUEL DUAL SOURCE ENERGY DRINK
As an endurance athlete, meaning your events typically last more than two hours, you need to take in between 80-120g of carbohydrate per hour. The Science in Sport Beta Fuel Dual Source Energy Drink delivers an optimised 80g of carbohydrate in a single, convenient isotonic fuelling solution with minimal risk of GI discomfort that enables you to maintain optimal performance.
NEW 1:0.8 RATIO REPLACES 2:1 RATIO
THE SCIENCE BEHIND BETA FUEL HAS EVOLVED
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).
