Product Information

Honey is a naturally low glycemic food that can enhance your performance on race day. Essentially, honey provides an enduring energy boost that prevents your sugar levels from dropping. You can also avoid an insulin high and crash with honey. However, the reputation of energy gel for running has grown because they’re popular in the running community. Try experimenting with taking an energy gel every 45-60 minutes to start. You might want to wait closer to 60 minutes if you have a sensitive stomach. Although when running a marathon or long distances, fat is deemed ineffective as it's much slower to break down in terms of a usable energy. If your stomach has problems with the gels and you still want to use it, there are solutions for this. Instead of ingesting the entire gel, try breaking it up throughout the race.

McGregor recommends consuming 30-60g of carbs per hour for the first three hours of running, increasing to 60-90g of carbs per hour if you’re still going after that. This can be in the form of gels, drinks or solids. While you wait for your race, the gel’s nutrients will steadily flow into your body’s system. You won’t feel anything just yet. Those with sensitive stomachs might also prefer to take on solids – such as energy chews or bars – which can also provide some welcome variety in texture and flavour and so work well if running for long periods of time. 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: Our bodies start to deplete the carbohydrate and glycogen levels as soon as we start the race if not sooner from the pre-race adrenaline.Each SiS Go gel comes in a 60 ml sachet and provides the following. (Note: not a big bang for the volume.)

As an endurance athlete (your events typically last more than two hours) you need to take in between 80-120g of carbohydrate per hour. The Science in Sport Beta Fuel Dual Source Energy Gel delivers an optimised 40g of carbohydrate in a single, convenient fuelling solution with minimal risk of GI discomfort that enables you to maintain optimal performance. They come in seven different flavours, which allows you find out what works for you and they’re suitable for vegans. A 1:0.8 ratio of maltodextrin to fructose reduces self-reported symptoms of stomach fullness when compared with a ratio of 2:1 I’d recommend this brand since it offers three types of gels containing that build on the “base” gel. Each one is more specialized for a different type of workout and race. If you’re looking for one brand to supply you with all your energy gels, this might be your best bet.To help the gels get through your digestive tract, take them with water, not a sports drink. The water helps the gels get through the digestive tract and the glucose will enter your bloodstream faster. Still aim to hit 60g of carbohydrate per hour, using electrolyte gels around other SiS GO products e.g SiS GO isotonic Energy Gel

Tropical: Water, Maltodextrin (from Maize) (33%), Gelling Agents (Gellan Gum, Xanthan Gum), Natural Flavouring, Acidity Regulators (Citric Acid, Sodium Citrate), Preservatives (Sodium Benzoate, Potassium Sorbate), Sweetener (Acesulfame K), Sodium Chloride, Antioxidant (Ascorbic Acid). Lastly, there is a GO energy + electrolyte gel, that contains 118mg sodium, 9.5mg potassium and 1.5mg magnesium per gel, on top of the 22 grams of carbs. As an endurance athlete, meaning your events typically last more than two hours, you need to take in between 80-120g of carbohydrate per hour. The Science in Sport Beta Fuel Dual Source Energy Drink delivers an optimised 80g of carbohydrate in a single, convenient isotonic fuelling solution with minimal risk of GI discomfort that enables you to maintain optimal performance. As an endurance athlete our Beta Fuel Dual Source Energy Gel can be used on its own to fulfil your fuelling requirements. However, the SiS Beta Fuel range, which also includes the Dual Source Energy Gel + Nootropics, the Dual Source Energy Drink, and Dual Source Energy Chew Bar, can be combined to ensure you easily hit the recommended fuelling target of 80-120 grams of carbohydrate every hour.The box tells you when and how often to use the gels, but experiment with what works best for your body. If this is your first time using the gels, you might want to wash it down with some water. It could prevent stomach aches or cramping.
