SiS Beta Fuel 80 Strawberry & Lime is designed for endurance athletes who need to provide a larger amount of carbohydrates during long-term training and competition. Each sachet contains 80 g of carbohydrates , making it easy to plan a high carbohydrate intake without having to carry multiple smaller energy products.

The carbohydrates come from two different sources: maltodextrin and fructose . They are combined in a ratio of 1:0.8 , which is the same carbohydrate distribution used in the rest of the SiS Beta Fuel series.

One whole sachet is mixed with 600 ml of water. When the product is mixed according to the instructions, it forms an isotonic drink with a neutral pH profile, designed to enable the supply of a high amount of carbohydrates during longer activities.

The Strawberry & Lime flavor combines sweet strawberry with fresh lime. The drink can be used as the main carbohydrate source during part of the activity or combined with Beta Fuel Gel, Energy Chews and other energy products.

One serving provides approximately 320 kcal , 80 g carbohydrates and 45 g sugars. The product does not contain a significant amount of fat or protein and is primarily designed for energy during physical activity.

The nutritional information may differ slightly between markets, flavors and production runs. Always follow the information on the bag that is delivered.

Ingredients

Maltodextrin from corn (57%), fructose (42%) and flavorings.

The product is manufactured in a facility that also handles milk. Recipes and labeling are subject to update, so always check the ingredient and allergen information on the current package before consumption.

Recommended use

Fill a sports bottle with 600 ml of water.

Empty the entire sachet into the bottle.

Close the bottle tightly.

Shake until the powder has dissolved.

Drink small amounts regularly during the activity.

Science in Sport recommends one sachet per hour or combining the product with Beta Fuel Gel and Energy Chews to achieve a planned intake of around 80–120 g of carbohydrates per hour during longer endurance activity.

An intake of 80–120 g of carbohydrates per hour is high and should be worked in gradually. Start with an amount that you know your stomach tolerates and always test the energy plan during training before a competition.

Suitable for

Road cycling

Gravel and mountain biking

Triathlon

Long-distance running

Trail running and ultra running

Marathon

Cross-country skiing

Vasaloppet and other long-distance races

Multisport and adventure races

Long workouts over two hours

Competitions where it is difficult to eat solid energy

Athletes planning a high carbohydrate intake

80 g of carbohydrates in one bottle

One portion bag provides 80 g of carbohydrates. This makes energy planning clear:

1 bag provides 80 g of carbohydrates

2 bags provide 160 g of carbohydrates

3 bags provide 240 g of carbohydrates

Half a bottle provides approximately 40 g of carbohydrates

The amount of fluid you drink should not be solely determined by your carbohydrate needs. Fluid intake also needs to be adjusted according to temperature, intensity, duration of activity and individual sweat loss.

In hot weather or high sweat loss, it may therefore be necessary to carry separate water or a customized electrolyte drink.

Two carbohydrate sources in a ratio of 1:0.8

Beta Fuel 80 uses maltodextrin and fructose in a ratio of 1:0.8 .

Maltodextrin is a glucose-based carbohydrate, while fructose is absorbed and processed through a different transport pathway. The combination is designed for energy plans where a large amount of carbohydrates is to be supplied during prolonged physical activity.

Science in Sport uses the same basic carbohydrate ratio in Beta Fuel drinks, gels and chews.

Isotonic formula

When the entire bag is mixed with 600 ml of water, the drink will have the concentration recommended by the manufacturer.

Don't use less water just to make the drink stronger. A more concentrated mix can be very sweet and may be harder to consume during high intensity.

For proper mixing:

Use the full recommended amount of water

Add the powder gradually if necessary

Shake the bottle well.

Let the drink stand briefly and shake again if any powder remains.

Test the mixture during training before competition

Beta Fuel 80 or GO Electrolyte Powder?

SiS Beta Fuel 80:

80 g carbohydrates per bottle

Maltodextrin and fructose in a ratio of 1:0.8

Mix with 600 ml of water

Developed for high carbohydrate intake

Suitable for longer endurance activities

SiS GO Electrolyte Powder:

Approximately 36 g carbohydrates per 500 ml

Contains added electrolytes

Lower amount of carbohydrates per bottle

Fits a more moderate energy and fluid plan

May be easier for shorter activities

Beta Fuel 80 is suitable when you want to get a large amount of carbohydrates from one bottle. GO Electrolyte is better suited when you want to combine a lower amount of carbohydrates with added electrolytes.

Beta Fuel 80 or Beta Fuel Gel?

Beta Fuel 80 Sachets:

80 g carbohydrates

Mix with 600 ml of water

Consumed gradually

Combines fluid and energy

Suitable for longer activities

Beta Fuel Gel:

40 g carbohydrates

Ready to consume

No need to mix

Easy to use at energy stations

Suitable when liquid is taken separately

One bottle of Beta Fuel 80 is equivalent to the amount of carbohydrates in two Beta Fuel Gels.

Beta Fuel 80 or Energy Chews?

Beta Fuel 80 provides energy in liquid form and requires you to carry water with you.

Beta Fuel Energy Chews provide around 45–46 g of carbohydrates in a soft, chewable format.

The drink can be easier when chewing is difficult, while chews provide variety and are good for calmer parts of the race. The products can be combined as long as the total amount of carbohydrates is added up.

Energy and fluid planning

Beta Fuel 80 is primarily a carbohydrate product. The very low amount of salt means that the drink should not be considered a complete electrolyte solution for all conditions.

Plan separately according to:

Activity duration

Temperature and humidity

How much you sweat

How salty your sweat is

Access to water stations

Other carbohydrate sources

Possible electrolyte intake

For example, during hot races you may need to combine Beta Fuel with separate water and an electrolyte product. Test the entire setup during training.

Decaffeinated sports drink

Strawberry & Lime contains no added caffeine. This makes the product useful when you:

Want to control caffeine intake separately

Are sensitive to caffeine

Working out late in the day

Want to use the same drink for several hours

Planning a caffeine gel later in the race

Already had coffee before the activity

Storage

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

Use the entire sachet after opening. The powder may absorb moisture and clump if an opened package is stored.

Ready-mixed drink should be consumed the same day. Keep refrigerated if prepared in advance.

Important to consider

Beta Fuel 80 contains a very high amount of carbohydrates per serving. The product is designed for longer endurance activities and is not normally necessary during short or calm training sessions.

A high carbohydrate intake can cause stomach upset if it has not been trained in. Therefore, test the amount, mixture, taste and intake rate during regular training sessions before using the product in competition.

Sports nutrition does not replace a varied diet or an individually adapted energy and fluid plan.

FAQ
