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 c…

It’s a cheap gel from the action store chain. From what I’ve read fructose can be way more then 30 grams per hour when you train it. With this recipe is pretty much 50/50. If seen 60 to 100 grams of fructose per hour. And yes I will buy the maltodextrin and fructose to try but for now this is work…

My take is that if it was that easy, every energy company would have produced their own version of be supplying it to their athletes now. As it is, it seems like only SIS and Maurten are doing it.

[image] Gummy Bears / Jelly Babies vs Gels Nutrition Why aren’t you guys just making your own gels? I bought 4 x High 5 bottles from Amazon and then I do the following: 200g Fructose 400g Maltodextrin 400g water 2 tablespoons (10g) of citric acid 2 tables…

That’s something I’m to try thanks for the recipe.

I will be trying to make my own Beta Fuel. I enjoy using it for races in 2+ hours, or ones that are exceptionally hard and fast (think criteriums or XCO). Will be doing the math on parts and expense. Will report once I try it in training.

I just got berry flavoured fructose, rather than add flavour.

Well I did read the chart wrong in the paper ,Training the Gut for Athletes, Asker E. Jeukendrup. But in this research paper ,Fructose and Sucrose Intake Increase Exogenous Carbohydrate Oxidation during Exercise, Jorn Trommelen, it is sad that glucose uptake or oxidation rates can be up to 72 gram…

High 5 have been selling a 2:1 glucose:fructose energy drink (with caffeine) for quite some time, before SIS, tastes good too. Not too sweet. <a href="https://www.wiggle.com.au/high5-energy-drink-caffeine-22kg/?lang=au&curr=AUD&dest=27&sku=5360562933&kpid=5360562933&utm_source=google&utm_term=&utm_campaign=Shopping+-+All+Products&utm_medium=base&utm_content=mkwid%7CswERYI9j9_dc%7Cpcrid%7C295385816305%7Cpkw%7C%7Cpmt%7C%7Cprd%7C5360562933au%7C&pgrid=56102517541&ptaid=pla-522257448704&dest=27&curr=AUD&gclid=Cj0KCQjwuLPnBRDjARIsACDzGL0yqmtL8Uc2gnDRUxhQmEgxrEwE-1JGwEqW7YEudGFY6zENDZqk7BUaAlUYEALw_wcB" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">High 5

Yes, I’d got a little confused. It’s the isotonic nature of the drink that SIS are promoting as it’s USP over the others (including Maurten), not the strength, which various companies match.
