Overview

Are SiS Beta Fuel Chews a good alternative to gels for long endurance efforts?

The SiS Beta Fuel Chews Individual Pouch delivers 46g of dual-source carbohydrates: 7g per chew across six chews, in the same scientifically optimized 1:0.8 maltodextrin-to-fructose ratio as the Beta Fuel Gel. The format is the key differentiator: a soft, jelly-like chew that gives you something to eat rather than squeeze, which matters deep into a long effort when the monotony of gels becomes a real problem. Science in Sport developed the chew specifically to add format variety to the Beta Fuel range, letting athletes hit 80 to 120g of carbohydrate per hour by rotating between gels, chews, and drink mix without flavor or texture fatigue.

Available in Lemon and Orange. The chews are easy to consume on the bike or run: not overly sticky, no water required, and they integrate directly into the same fueling math as the rest of the Beta Fuel range. Each full pouch delivers 46g of carbohydrates, or roughly equivalent to one standard Beta Fuel Gel plus a top-up. Informed Sport certified, with every batch tested against the WADA banned substances list. The individual pouch is the right buy for trying the format or adding a single pouch to a race-day kit.
