An energy gel that combines 40 grams of carbohydrates with 200 mg of sodium per 60 ml gel. SiS Beta Fuel Gel Raspberry and Lemon with Electrolytes uses the same 1:0.8 maltodextrin to fructose ratio as the rest of the Beta Fuel range, but contains significantly more sodium than the standard Beta Fuel gel. Designed for prolonged exercise in warm weather or during high sweat rates when you want to replenish both energy and electrolytes at the same time without having to manage multiple products. Fresh raspberry-lemon flavour. Gluten-free, suitable for vegans, Informed Sport certified.
The standard Beta Fuel gel contains a small amount of sodium as a byproduct of sodium citrate used for pH regulation. This variant contains 200 mg of sodium per gel from sodium chloride as a separate ingredient. This is comparable to the sodium content of half a HYDRO tablet. With two gels per hour, you get 400 mg of sodium along with 80 grams of carbohydrates. At moderate sweat rates, this is a useful supplement. In heat or during intense exercise with high sweat rates of 1000 mg or more per hour, supplementing with drinking water remains advisable.
Those who want to maintain both carbohydrate and sodium levels during prolonged exercise normally have an energy gel in one pocket and a HYDRO tablet or sachet in the other. Or a bottle with electrolytes that you sometimes lose or forget. This gel combines both components in one sachet. This reduces the chance of forgetting it and makes the nutrition strategy slightly easier to manage in the final phase of a long ride or race when concentration decreases.
The gel contains 40 grams of carbohydrates per 60 ml in a 1:0.8 maltodextrin to fructose ratio. No water needed, ready to consume immediately.
The gel contains no caffeine or nootropics. There is no daily upper limit. You can freely combine it with regular Beta Fuel gels, the Beta Fuel 80 sachet or the Beta Fuel Nootropics gel without worrying about the total caffeine intake. With a strategy where you take the nootropics gel at a specific point in the race, you can top up the rest of the hours with this electrolyte gel.
The product is relatively new in the Beta Fuel range and is currently available in one flavour: raspberry and lemon. The flavour is deliberately kept fresh and light, making it easy to consume when tired in the final phase of a race.
The standard Beta Fuel gel contains a small amount of sodium as a by-product of sodium citrate. This variant contains 200 mg of sodium per gel, consciously added via sodium chloride. That's comparable to half a HYDRO tablet in terms of sodium content per gel. For every two gels per hour, you get 400 mg of sodium in addition to 80 grams of carbohydrates, which makes a significant difference compared to the regular gel, especially in hot weather or with high sweat rates.
The carbohydrate base is identical to the regular Beta Fuel gel: 40 grams per 60 ml gel in a 1:0.8 ratio of maltodextrin to fructose. The gel is ready for immediate use, no water dissolving or bottle needed. Two gels per hour provide 80 grams of carbohydrates and 400 mg of sodium in one format.
If you want to replenish both carbohydrates and electrolytes during prolonged exercise, you normally need multiple products: an energy gel plus a HYDRO tablet or electrolyte sachet. This gel combines both. That's one less thing to keep track of in your cycling shorts or running belt and one less decision to make during exercise when concentration is already diminishing.
Every production batch is screened by Informed Sport for banned substances from the WADA list. Free from gluten, lactose, wheat, and nuts. Suitable for vegans. No caffeine, no nootropics: the gel can be combined without restriction throughout the ride or event.

The regular Beta Fuel gel contains a small amount of sodium as part of the acidity regulation (sodium citrate and sodium chloride). The electrolyte variant has significantly more sodium: 200 mg per gel, equivalent to 0.5 g of salt per gel. This has been deliberately added for athletes who, during exercise lasting more than two hours, also want to compensate for their sodium loss via their gel instead of via a separate hydration source.
In warm conditions where you sweat a lot, during exercise lasting more than two hours when access to a water bottle is limited, or if you prefer a simpler approach with fewer products at once. In cool conditions or shorter sessions, the extra sodium is less relevant, and the regular Beta Fuel gel is an equally good choice.
That depends on your sweat rate and the conditions. During moderate exertion, you lose 200 to 500 mg of sodium per hour. During intense exertion or in heat, this can increase to 1000 mg or more. Two gels per hour provide 400 mg of sodium, which is a useful contribution for average sweating but not a complete replacement. For very high sweat rates, additional sodium intake via drinking water with a HYDRO tablet or HYDRO+ sachet is advisable.
No, this gel does not contain caffeine or other ingredients with a daily upper limit. You can freely combine the gel with other Beta Fuel products without nootropics. The only practical limit is your energy needs: 1 to 2 gels per hour is the recommendation for this product during prolonged exertion or in hot conditions.
Yes, you can. The gel provides 200 mg of sodium per unit, and a HYDRO tablet provides 345 mg of sodium per tablet dissolved in 500 ml of water. They complement each other and do not conflict. If you drink a bottle with a HYDRO tablet and use this gel during exercise, the sodium intake adds up. This can be useful for intense sweating in warm weather.
The product is relatively new to the Beta Fuel range. Raspberry and Lemon is the only flavour available at the moment. The fresh, slightly citrusy flavour was deliberately chosen as a fresher alternative to the sweeter fruit flavours in other gels, which is more pleasant to consume hour after hour during prolonged exercise.
