SiS Beta Fuel Energy Chews Orange are developed for endurance athletes who need to provide a larger amount of carbohydrates during prolonged training and competition. The product contains dual carbohydrate sources based on glucose/maltodextrin and fructose in the optimized ratio of 1:0.8 .

Each package contains 60 g of soft energy chew and, according to the nutritional declaration, provides 46 g of carbohydrates and 190 kcal . Science in Sport also describes the product as containing 45 g of carbohydrates, which is a rounding that is also used in the company's dosage instructions.

The soft texture allows for varying energy intake during long workouts. You can consume the entire contents as a bar or divide it into smaller blocks. SiS states approximately 7.5 g of carbohydrates per smaller piece , which makes it easier to spread the intake over time.

Recommended use

Open the package and consume the chews during physical activity. The product can be eaten in two ways:

As a continuous soft bar

Broken down into smaller energy chunks

Science in Sport states that each pack provides around 45g of carbohydrates and recommends 1–3 packs per hour , depending on activity, intensity and overall energy plan. The stated goal is 80–120g of carbohydrates per hour for longer endurance activities. Such an intake is high and should be trained in gradually.

A simple calculation example based on the nutrition label's 46 g:

1 package provides 46 g of carbohydrates

2 packs provide 92 g of carbohydrates

3 packs provide 138 g of carbohydrates

Also include carbohydrates from sports drinks, gels, bars and other energy. Always test your energy plan during training before using it for an important race.

Suitable for

Long-distance running

Trail running and ultra running

Marathon

Road cycling

Gravel and mountain biking

Triathlon

Cross-country skiing

Vasaloppet and other long-distance races

Multisport and adventure races

Training sessions and competitions over two hours

Those who want to vary between gel and more solid energy

Those who want to divide their energy intake into smaller pieces

Energy in soft chew format

During activities that last for several hours, it can be difficult to continue consuming the same type of energy. SiS Beta Fuel Energy Chews provide a softer and more chewable texture than a traditional energy bar, while the product feels more solid than a gel.

The format is particularly suitable when you want to:

Vary the consistency over long runs

Chew energy instead of swallowing gel

Divide the intake into smaller portions

Have a compact option in your bike pocket

Combine solid and liquid sports nutrition

Avoid using only sweet gels

During high-intensity running, chewing may be more difficult than during cycling or slower periods, so plan your intake at a time when you can chew and swallow safely.

Dual carbohydrate sources in a ratio of 1:0.8

The SiS Beta Fuel series uses two types of carbohydrates in a ratio of 1:0.8 . The combination is designed for endurance athletes who want to be able to plan a higher carbohydrate intake than products with a single carbohydrate source are normally used for.

Beta Fuel Energy Chews use the same basic principle as other products in the Beta Fuel series, which means that the chews can be combined with Beta Fuel gels and sports drinks in a coherent energy plan.

Orange or Lemon?

SiS Beta Fuel Energy Chews are available in Orange and Lemon flavors, among others. The products have the same main use and a similar amount of carbohydrates.

Orange is suitable for those who prefer:

Round and fruity orange flavor

A classic citrus alternative

A slightly sweeter flavor profile

Lemon is suitable for those who prefer:

Healthier lemon flavor

A more pronounced acidity

Variation from orange and berries

The nutritional values may differ slightly between the flavors, so always follow the information on the respective packaging.

Beta Fuel Chew or Beta Fuel Gel?

SiS Beta Fuel Energy Chew Orange:

Approximately 45–46 g carbohydrates

Soft and chewy texture

Can be divided into smaller pieces

Gives more feeling of solid energy

Suitable when you want to vary the consistency

SiS Beta Fuel Gel:

40 g carbohydrates

Liquid gel consistency

Quick to consume

Requires no chewing

Better suited for high intensity

Chews can be especially handy on the bike or during slower parts of a race, while gels can be easier when the pace is high.

Beta Fuel Chew or GO Isotonic Gel?

SiS Beta Fuel Energy Chew:

Approximately 45–46 g carbohydrates

Dual carbohydrate sources

Soft and chewy

Designed for longer endurance activities

SiS GO Isotonic Energy Gel:

22 g carbohydrates

Maltodextrin as the main carbohydrate source

Light-flowing consistency

Can be consumed without additional water

Beta Fuel Chew provides about twice as much carbohydrates per pack as a GO Isotonic Gel, but requires you to be able to chew during activity.

Caffeine-free energy

The Orange variant contains no added caffeine and can therefore be used as the basis of an energy plan where the caffeine is controlled separately.

It is suitable when you:

Want to avoid caffeine

Working out late in the day

Are sensitive to caffeine

Want to use caffeine only later in the race

Combines with a separate caffeine gel

Want the same energy product for several hours

Fluid and electrolytes

SiS Beta Fuel Energy Chews are primarily a carbohydrate product. They contain a small amount of salt but are not a substitute for a customized fluid and electrolyte plan.

Drink after:

Activity duration

Temperature and humidity

Intensity

Individual sweat loss

Access to hydration stations

The chews can be taken with water, but the amount of liquid should be adjusted according to your total needs and not just according to the energy product.

Storage

Store the product in a dry and cool place, protected from direct sunlight and high temperatures.

Heat can make the chews softer and stickier, while cold can make them firmer and harder to chew. Therefore, place the product easily accessible and close to your body during activities in very cold weather.

Consume the contents after opening. Take the empty package with you and dispose of it in the appropriate waste.
