SiS BETA Fuel + Nootropics Apple combines a large portion of carbohydrates with caffeine, citicoline, taurine and L-theanine in a convenient gel format for endurance sports.
Each gel contains:
40 g carbohydrates
200 mg caffeine
250 mg Cognizin® Citicoline
1,000 mg L-taurine
200 mg L-theanine
159 calories
The carbohydrates come from maltodextrin and fructose in a ratio of 1:0.8 . The BETA Fuel series is developed for longer activities where the athlete wants to combine multiple carbohydrate sources and plan a higher carbohydrate intake.
The high caffeine content makes the Nootropics gel clearly different from regular energy gels. SiS recommends using the gel during the latter part of a longer workout or race, around 60 minutes before the intended effect is desired. The manufacturer also states a maximum of one serving per day .
The Apple flavor provides a fruity apple character that breaks up the citrus, berry and orange flavors. Caffeine and the other active ingredients can also give a clearer and slightly bitter aftertaste than in a regular decaffeinated gel.

Water, corn maltodextrin (29%), fructose (22%), L-taurine, Cognizin® Citicoline, caffeine anhydrous, L-theanine, flavors, acidity regulators: citric acid and sodium citrate, gelling agents: gellan gum and xanthan gum, preservatives: sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate and sodium chloride.
Each gel provides 40g of carbohydrates , which is a larger serving than SiS GO Isotonic Energy Gel, which provides 22g per gel.
This means that a high carbohydrate intake can be achieved with fewer packages:
1 gel provides 40 g of carbohydrates
1 Nootropics gel and 1 regular BETA Fuel gel yields 80 g
1 Nootropics gel and BETA Fuel Chews can be combined in a larger set-up
BETA Fuel is primarily intended for longer, more intense activities over approximately two hours. SiS discusses a carbohydrate intake of 80–120 g per hour for such activities, but such a high intake must be trained in gradually and is not automatically suitable for everyone.
Since the Nootropics version is only to be taken once a day, the rest of the carbohydrate intake needs to come from, for example:
Regular BETA Fuel Gels
BETA Fuel Energy Chews
BETA Fuel 80
Caffeine-free energy gel
Sports drink
Energy bars or other food
BETA Fuel uses maltodextrin and fructose in a ratio of 1:0.8 .
Maltodextrin is a glucose-based carbohydrate, while fructose uses a separate transport pathway for absorption. The combination is used to enable the supply of multiple carbohydrate sources during prolonged training and competition.
A higher carbohydrate intake can still cause stomach upset if your stomach is not used to it. Therefore, test the same products, amounts and times during training before an important race.
Each gel contains 200 mg of caffeine , which is a high amount in a single serving package.
Add up the caffeine from all sources during the day:
Coffee
Energy drink
Tea
Cola
Caffeine gel
PWO
Caffeine tablets
Other supplements
Do not take another BETA Fuel + Nootropics Gel on the same day. Also be careful with other caffeine products before and after taking the gel.
Caffeine can cause, among other things:
Restlessness
Tremor
Palpitations
Stomach upset
Headache
Difficulty falling asleep
Sensitivity to caffeine varies widely, so don't try a 200mg caffeine gel for the first time during an important race.
Each gel contains 250 mg of Cognizin® Citicoline . Citicoline is a choline-containing compound that is included in SiS's nootropic blend along with caffeine, taurine and L-theanine.
SiS has developed the combination for the latter part of longer activities, where concentration and decision-making may be more demanding. This is the manufacturer's intended use and should not be interpreted as a treatment for medical fatigue or concentration problems.
Each gel contains 1 gram of L-taurine . Taurine is an amino acid-like compound that occurs naturally in the body and is often used in sports and energy products.
This product includes taurine as part of the combination with carbohydrates, caffeine, citicoline and L-theanine.
Each gel contains 200 mg of L-theanine , the same amount as caffeine. SiS describes the combination as designed for alertness and focus with a more balanced caffeine experience. Individual effects and tolerance may vary.
Science in Sport recommends that you:
Consume the gel directly from the package.
Use it during long-term endurance training or competition.
Save it for the later part of the activity.
It takes about 60 minutes before the intended effect is desired.
Take a maximum of one gel per day.
Uses caffeine-free BETA Fuel products for other energy intake.
1 BETA Fuel + Nootropics Apple: 40 g
1 regular BETA Fuel Gel: 40 g
Total: 80 g carbohydrates
Caffeine: 200 mg
1 BETA Fuel + Nootropics Apple: 40 g carbohydrates
BETA Fuel Energy Chews according to planned quantity
Water or electrolyte drink separately
Previous energy can come from:
BETA Fuel 80
Regular BETA Fuel Gels
BETA Fuel Energy Chews
Caffeine-free gels
Sports drink or food
Then save the Nootropics gel for a later part of the activity. SiS demonstrates the same principle in their longer energy sets: just one Nootropics gel is combined with caffeine-free BETA Fuel products.
The gel can be consumed directly from the package, but does not contain enough liquid to replace a separate fluid intake.
Plan water or sports drink based on:
Temperature
Humidity
Activity duration
Intensity
Individual sweat loss
Access to hydration stations
Other electrolyte products
A smaller amount of water along with the gel can make it easier to swallow and reduce the perceived sweetness.
Marathon
Ultramarathon
Trail and mountain running
Long bike races
Gravel and mountain biking
Triathlon
Cross-country skiing
Vasaloppet and other long-distance races
Long workouts
Activities lasting about two hours or more
Later part of long races
Athletes who have tested and planned their caffeine intake
Fruity and round apple flavor
159 kcal per gel
0.03 g salt per serving
Maltodextrin from corn: 29%
Fructose: 22%
Fresher and more tart citrus flavor
159 kcal per gel
Slightly different flavor formulation
Separate ingredient and nutrition declaration
Both flavors provide the same main amounts of carbohydrates, caffeine, citicoline, taurine and L-theanine. Choose based on the flavor profile you prefer and have tested during training.
40 g carbohydrates
200 mg caffeine
250 mg Cognizin® Citicoline
1 g L-taurine
200 mg L-theanine
Maximum one gel per day
Mainly for the latter part of longer activities
40 g carbohydrates
Same carbohydrate ratio of 1:0.8
No added caffeine
Can be used at several of the planned gel intakes
Suitable when energy is desired without nootropic ingredients
The Nootropics version should therefore not be used as a replacement for all gels during a long race. Take no more than one Nootropics gel and choose caffeine-free alternatives for the rest of your intake.
40 g carbohydrates
200 mg caffeine
Citicoline, taurine and L-theanine

Suitable when a lower caffeine intake is a priority
Nootropics are suitable when a large and clearly planned caffeine dose is desired. GO Energy + Caffeine provides the opportunity to use smaller caffeine doses.
Apple has a fruity apple flavor with a clearer flavor profile from the caffeine and active ingredients.
The gel can be experienced as:
Sweet and fruity
Slightly more bitter than caffeine-free gels
Relatively large at 60 ml
Faster in the cold
Thinner at high temperature
