SCIENTIFICALLY FORMULATED ENERGY GEL FOR MAXIMUM PHYSICAL AND MENTAL PERFORMANCE
Designed as an ideal whole-body energy source and a world leader, our innovative Beta Fuel Dual Source Energy Gel with nootropics combines a new carbohydrate ratio with Cognizin® Citicoline to enhance both the physical and mental performance of athletes.
Part of a complete range of fueling solutions including drinks and bars, our Beta Fuel Dual Source Energy Gel with nootropics is optimized with a new 1:0.8 carbohydrate ratio of 40g to improve an athlete's mental and physical strength, increase carbohydrate utilization efficiency, and minimize gastrointestinal discomfort. The goal is to provide a scientifically superior fueling solution.
WHAT ARE NOOTROPICS?
Nootropics are supplements capable of improving or maintaining peak cognitive performance, such as attention, concentration, creativity, motivation, memory, etc. We have combined our innovative Beta Fuel Energy Gel with nootropics to offer endurance athletes a complete energy source, for both body and mind. Without a doubt, when physical demands are so high, the mind also needs to be at its peak.
WHY BETA FUEL DUAL SOURCE ENERGY GEL WITH NOOTROPICS IS RECOMMENDED
Endurance athletes (whose events typically last more than two hours) need to consume between 80 and 120g of carbohydrates per hour. Beta Fuel Dual Source Energy Gel with nootropics provides 40g of optimized carbohydrates in a single, convenient isotonic fueling solution with minimal risk of causing gastrointestinal issues. While carbohydrates are responsible for maintaining optimal physical performance, nootropics are responsible for maintaining peak mental performance.
THE NEW 1:0.8 RATIO REPLACES THE PREVIOUS 2:1
- The 1:0.8 ratio of maltodextrin to fructose increases the percentage of ingested carbohydrates that are oxidized (known as efficiency) from 62% to 74% compared to the 2:1 ratio.
- Likewise, the 1:0.8 ratio of maltodextrin to fructose reduces symptoms of stomach bloating reported by athletes with the 2:1 ratio.
ADDITION OF COGNITIVE ENHANCEMENTS
- 250mg Cognizin® Citicoline for improved cognitive function
- 200mg Caffeine, 1g Taurine, and 200mg Theanine
THE SCIENCE BEHIND BETA FUEL HAS EVOLVED
Through our Performance Solutions team, during the research and development of the new Beta Fuel range, we have worked closely with elite athletes to deliver a scientifically superior fuel in a range of formats that allow athletes to utilize an additional 17% of carbohydrates (O'Brien et al, 2013).
- The 1:0.8 ratio improves exogenous CHO oxidation by 17% (O'Brien et al) and by 10% (O'Brien et al) compared to a 2:1 ratio.
- The 1:0.8 ratio improves optimal power output during 10 maximal sprint efforts by 3% compared to the 2:1 ratio (O'Brien et al.).
- The 1:0.8 ratio increases the percentage of ingested CHO that is oxidized (efficiency) from 62% (2:1) to 74% (1:0.8) (O'Brien et al).
- The 1:0.8 ratio reduces symptoms of stomach bloating and nausea compared to the 2:1 ratio (O'Brien et al).
HOW AND WHEN TO USE BETA FUEL DUAL SOURCE ENERGY GEL WITH NOOTROPICS
Like the Beta Fuel Energy Gel, our nootropics gel contains 40g of carbohydrates, with added nootropic substances that can improve cognitive performance, providing the athlete with the mental boost they might need, especially in the later stages of exercise.
The Beta Fuel Gel with nootropics product contains 1g of the amino acid L-taurine, 250mg of Cognizin® to improve information processing, and 200mg of caffeine with 200mg of L-theanine, the amino acid shown to increase subjective feelings of alertness while reducing the jitters that caffeine can cause when consumed alone.
- Consume directly from the package, a maximum of one serving per day.
- Can be combined with other energy supplements from the Beta Fuel range to achieve a carbohydrate intake of 80-120g per hour.
