Beta Fuel vs NootropicsUpdated a month ago

Beta Fuel Gel 

The Beta Fuel Dual Source Energy Gel is optimised with a brand new 1:0.8 ratio of 40g carbohydrate of maltodextrin to fructose, increasing the percentage of ingested carbohydrate that is oxidized (known as efficiency) from 62% to 74% when compared with a ratio of 2:1 

This gel has been developed for endurance athletes to enhance power output, increase the body’s carbohydrate usage efficiency, and limit gastrointestinal discomfort.  

USAGE: 

  1. Endurance athletes where events typically last more than two hours 
  2. Depending on your sport or event, you should aim to consume 2-3 gels every hour during exertion to reach an 80g-120g target intake
  3. Beta Fuel gels can be used in combination with other products within the Beta Fuel range to allow you to devise the best fuelling solution for you  

Beta Fuel Energy Gel delivers 40g of carbohydrate in a single serving to help you hit the recommended intake of 80-120g per hour during endurance exercise. We have optimised this 40g of carbohydrates in our Beta Fuel Energy Gel with a brand new 1:0.8 ratio (maltodextrin to fructose) that increases your body’s carbohydrate usage efficiency, which in turn enhances your power output and limits gastrointestinal distress.

Beta Fuel & Nootropics Gel 

Just like the Beta Fuel Energy Gel, our Nootropics Gel contains 40 grams of carbohydrate, with added nootropic substances that can enhance cognitive performance, giving you that mental lift you might need, especially at the latter phases of exercise. 

The Beta Fuel Gel with Nootropics contains 1 gram of the amino acid L-taurine, 250 milligrams of Cognizin® to enhance information processing and 200 milligrams of caffeine with 200 milligrams of L-theanine, the amino acid which has been shown to increase subjective feelings of alertness, while reducing feelings of ‘jitters’ that you get with caffeine alone.  

USAGE:  

  1. Endurance athletes where events typically last more than two hours 
  2. Best used within the last hour of a race, with only one Beta Fuel + Nootropics Gel to be consumed per day
  3. Combine with other energy supplements from the Beta Fuel range to achieve hourly 80-120g carbohydrate intake

Nootropics are supplements that can improve or maintain peak cognitive performance such as attention, focus, creativity, motivation, memory and so on. We’ve combined our innovative Beta Fuel Energy Gel with nootropics to offer endurance athletes a complete energy source for both body and mind because you need peak mental function when the demands are most physical.
