Beta Fuel Plus Electrolyte Gel

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

“These are ideal when hydration starts to matter as much as calories. You can push higher carb intake without neglecting electrolytes, which helps late in long races.”

BETA Fuel + Electrolyte Gels are engineered for endurance athletes training or racing beyond two hours in warm or high-intensity environments. Science in Sport positions this gel as a combined fueling and hydration solution that simplifies meeting both carbohydrate and electrolyte demands during prolonged exercise.

Each gel provides 40 grams of carbohydrates in a scientifically optimized 1:0.8 ratio of maltodextrin to fructose, supporting higher carbohydrate absorption and oxidation rates compared to traditional formulas. The addition of 200mg of sodium per gel helps replace electrolytes lost through sweat, supporting fluid retention and hydration. This dual-function approach allows athletes to target intake rates of 90–120 grams of carbohydrates per hour while maintaining electrolyte balance, reducing fatigue and performance drop-off.
