SiS Beta Fuel 80 Red Berry
An 82-gram sachet that you dissolve in 600 ml of water. SiS Beta Fuel 80 Red Berry provides 80 grams of carbohydrates per sachet in drink form, based on maltodextrin and fructose in a 1:0.8 ratio. The flavor is a light red berry flavor without artificial sweetness, pleasant to drink during intensive exercise. Gluten-free, suitable for vegans, Informed Sport certified.
Why 1:0.8 and not 2:1
Traditional dual-source sports drinks use a 2:1 ratio of maltodextrin to fructose. Beta Fuel 80 contains maltodextrin and fructose in a 1:0.8 ratio. SiS has based the entire Beta Fuel range on this 1:0.8 ratio.
Dissolve in 600 ml of water
Dissolve Beta Fuel 80 in 600 ml of water. At that dilution, the drink is isotonic according to SiS: the same concentration as body fluids. Dissolving a sachet with 80 grams of carbohydrates in less water makes the drink more concentrated; therefore, stick to 600 ml.
One sachet per hour or combine with gels
One sachet per hour provides 80 grams of carbohydrates, at the lower end of the 80 to 120 grams per hour recommended by SiS for endurance exercise lasting more than two hours. If you want to be higher in that range, combine the sachet with a Beta Fuel gel or chew bar. This allows you to spread the intake between drinking and eating. Drink small sips regularly and do not let the bottle sit still until you have finished it.
Three ingredients, nothing else
The ingredients list is short: maltodextrin (57%), fructose (42%) and flavoring. No preservatives, no colorings, no sweeteners. Free from gluten, lactose, wheat and nuts, suitable for vegans. Every production batch is screened by Informed Sport for WADA-prohibited substances. The product contains no sodium. If you sweat heavily during prolonged exercise, you can add a HYDRO tablet or HYDRO+ sachet to your drinking water.
Beta Fuel 80 is a product for those who exercise at high intensity for a long time and take carbohydrate intake seriously. For exercise under two hours, the dosage of 80 grams per hour is too high for most athletes. The product is then not the most logical choice compared to one or two separate GO gels per hour.
