Designed as an ideal energy source for the entire body and a world leader in its field, our innovative SIS Beta Fuel + Nootropics energy gel—now available at Escapa —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 that includes drinks and bars, our Beta Fuel Dual Source energy gel with nootropics is optimized with a new 1:0.8 ratio of 40 g of carbohydrates to improve athletes’ 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’ve combined our innovative Beta Fuel energy gel with nootropics to offer endurance athletes a complete source of energy for both body and mind. Without a doubt, when physical demands are so high, the mind must also be at its peak.
WHY IS IT RECOMMENDED TO USE THE BETA FUEL DUAL SOURCE ENERGY GEL WITH NOOTROPICS?
Endurance athletes (whose competitions typically last more than two hours) need to consume between 80 and 120 g of carbohydrates per hour. Beta Fuel Dual Source Energy Gel with nootropics provides 40 g of optimized carbohydrates in a single, convenient isotonic replenishment 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 1:0.8 ratio improves exogenous carbohydrate oxidation by 17 % (O’Brien et al.) and 10 % (O’Brien et al.) compared to a 2:1 ratio.
The 1:0.8 ratio improves optimal energy yield by 3% during 10 maximum sprint efforts 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 Beta Fuel Energy Gel, our gel with nootropics contains 40 g of carbohydrates, with added nootropic substances that can enhance cognitive performance, providing athletes with the mental boost they may need, especially during the final stages of exercise.
Beta Fuel Gel with Nootropics contains 1 g of the amino acid L-taurine, 250 mg of Cognizin® to improve information processing, and 200 mg of caffeine combined with 200 mg 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 container; no more than one serving per day.
It can be combined with other energy supplements from the Beta Fuel line to achieve a carbohydrate intake of 80–120 g per hour.
