SiS BETA Fuel + Electrolyte Gel is designed for runners, cyclists, triathletes and other endurance athletes who want to combine a high carbohydrate intake with electrolytes during longer and demanding activities.
Each 60 ml gel provides:
40 g carbohydrates
200mg sodium
300 mg chloride
160 calories
19 g sugars
No added caffeine
The carbohydrates come from maltodextrin and fructose in a ratio of 1:0.8 . SiS has developed the blend for energy schemes where multiple carbohydrate sources are used during prolonged physical activity.
The addition of sodium and chloride makes the gel particularly interesting in hot conditions, long races or activities where sweat loss is higher than normal. The gel replaces some of the salts lost through sweat, but fluids still need to be planned and drunk separately.
The Raspberry & Lemon flavor combines the sweeter notes of raspberry with the fresh acidity of lemon. The distinct yet fruity flavor profile provides variation from neutral, orange and strawberry flavored energy gels.

One gel provides 300 mg of chloride, which corresponds to 38 percent of the reference intake.
Water, maltodextrin (32%), fructose (25%), sodium chloride, natural flavouring, acidity regulators: citric acid and sodium citrate, gelling agents: gellan gum and xanthan gum, flavouring and preservatives: sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate.
Ingredients and labeling may be updated, so always check the information on the delivered packaging, especially in case of allergies or hypersensitivity.
Each gel provides 40 g of carbohydrates , which is significantly more than SiS' regular GO Isotonic Energy Gel which provides 22 g per serving.
This allows you to reach a high carbohydrate goal with fewer packages:
1 gel provides 40 g of carbohydrates
2 gels provide 80 g of carbohydrates
3 gels provide 120 g of carbohydrates
SiS recommends the BETA Fuel series primarily for endurance activities lasting longer than two hours and where a higher carbohydrate intake is planned.
BETA Fuel uses maltodextrin and fructose in a ratio of 1:0.8 . Maltodextrin is a glucose-based carbohydrate, while fructose uses a different transport pathway in the gut.
By combining carbohydrate sources, SiS has developed the series for high carbohydrate intake during prolonged activity. Individual tolerance varies, and an intake of 80–120 g of carbohydrates per hour should be gradually built into regular training sessions.
Each gel contains:
200mg sodium
300 mg chloride
0.53g salt
Sodium and chloride are electrolytes that are lost through sweat. How much you need to replace is affected by factors such as:
Temperature and humidity
Activity duration and intensity
Individual sweat rate
Sweat salinity
Fluid intake
Other sports drinks, food and electrolyte products
Two gels provide 400 mg of sodium, while three gels provide 600 mg of sodium. Add up the sodium from all products so that your plan is not based on the gel in isolation.
SiS particularly highlights BETA Fuel + Electrolyte for training and competition in hot or humid weather, where sweat loss may be higher than normal.
The gel is suitable, for example, when you want to:
Combine carbohydrates and electrolytes in the same serving
Carry fewer separate electrolyte tablets
Get some of your sodium intake through energy gels
Create a simpler energy plan during competition
Vary between sports drinks, gels and chews
Adapt energy intake for hot conditions
The gel does not contain enough liquid to cover your hydration needs on its own, so plan on water or sports drink separately.
SiS recommends the product for training and competition lasting two hours or longer, especially in warmer conditions.
The manufacturer's advanced setup is:
2 gels per hour provide 80 g of carbohydrates and 400 mg of sodium
3 gels per hour provide 120 g of carbohydrates and 600 mg of sodium
One gel approximately every 20–30 minutes depending on the total energy intake
SiS suggests two to three gels per hour to reach 80–120g of carbohydrates during prolonged activity. This is a high intake that should be tested and trained in gradually.
The gel can also be combined with BETA Fuel drink, chews or other energy. Always add up the carbohydrates from all products.
2 BETA Fuel + Electrolyte Gels
Total 80 g carbohydrates
Total 400 mg sodium
Total 600 mg chloride
1 BETA Fuel + Electrolyte Gel: 40 g
Sports drink or chews: about 50 g
Total of about 90 g carbohydrates
3 BETA Fuel + Electrolyte Gels
Total 120 g carbohydrates
Total 600 mg sodium
Total 900 mg chloride
An intake of 120 g per hour is mainly relevant for experienced endurance athletes who have trained their stomachs for high carbohydrate intake. It is not an automatic goal for all exercisers.
The product contains 60 ml of liquid but is not a substitute for water or sports drink. Take the gel according to your energy plan and drink fluids based on temperature, sweat loss and access to hydration stations.
Water together with the gel can also:
Make it easier to swallow
Reduce the perceived sweetness
Facilitate regular fluid intake
Better suited for high intensity
Avoid drinking unnecessarily large amounts in a short period of time. Spread your fluid intake over the activity.

BETA Fuel is suitable when you want to get a lot of carbohydrates per gel. GO Energy + Electrolyte is suitable when you prefer smaller portions and want to be able to adjust your energy intake in smaller increments.
Raspberry & Lemon has a fruity taste with:
Sweetness from raspberries
Fresh citric acid
Slightly salty from the electrolytes
Clear but balanced flavor profile
Each pack contains 60ml, which is a relatively large serving of gel. While running, it may be practical to consume the gel gradually over a few minutes rather than taking the entire serving in one go.
Test both taste and consistency during competition-like training sessions before using the product in an important race.
SiS states that the product is covered by the Informed Sport program . The products are reviewed and tested for substances on the WADA list of prohibited substances.
