This means that more energy can be produced from the carbohydrates consumed, leading to improved power output and performance. SiS has now extended the range to include gels and energy chews to make it even easier to get in the necessary fuelling during long and intense exercise. Riders always give valuable insights into what works on the bike in relation to what types of products they think will benefit them.

Upping the ratio of fructose supposedly increases the amount of carbs that can be ingested, by 12% according to SiS, while reducing symptoms of stomach fullness.

The Kendal Mint Co NRG gels, for example, are a similar size and provide 108kcal of energy from 27g of carbohydrate, of which 10. Beta Fuel addresses this need by delivering an ideal amount of carbohydrates that can be efficiently utilized by the body. ratio has been shown to enhance exogenous carbohydrate oxidation by 17%, allowing athletes to derive more energy from the fuel they consume (O'Brien et al).

Your body does that in quite a sophisticated way, in that each type of carbohydrate has its own specific transporter to be able to be transported from the small intestines into the bloodstream. ratio experience reduced symptoms of stomach fullness and nausea compared to those using the 2:1 ratio (O'Brien et al).
