Make SIS BETA fuel yourself just a few pence per bottle

Hello people So I’ve been looking at upping my nutrition game for a while now and I think I’ve done it. SIS BETA fuel is a mix of 2 parts maltodextrin and 1 past fructose. You can get both online but I wanted to make it right at that moment at home. I mixed 30 milliliters of children’s lemonade concentrate mostly for the taste (15 grams of simple carbs) with 60 grams of table sugar aka sucrose so 75 grams of simple sugars.

How are people getting 100g+ carbs in a bottle?

Over the last few weeks/months of podcasts, the crew has been talking about training their gut to take on 100, 120, or even 140g of carbohydrate (1:1 glucose:fructose) per hour. They’ve also said they prefer it all in drink form. How does this add up? Maurten and Beta Fuel us a 2:1 ratio, so you could get 120g of carbs in a 24oz bottle, but in the wrong ratio. Curious how folks are managing to hit these numbers without eating something else.
