How to use

How To Fuel Your Run

🏃 Before (15m prior): Eat 1/3 packet to prime your energy.   

⚡ During (>60m runs): Eat 1 packet per hour (a few sweets every 15 minutes) for constant fuel.

  • Gentle on the Gut: Breaks down faster than sticky liquid gels to eliminate mid-run bathroom stops.   
  • Rebuilds Muscle Fast: Triggers GLUT4 glucose transport to drive carbs directly into tired legs.

The Science of Carbohydrate Delivery Systems

Why Traditional Gels & Sports Drinks Fall Short

Stop fighting your nutrition mid-run. Liquid gels and sugary sports drinks dominated past decades, but they're plagued by GI distress, slow gastric emptying, and sticky messes.

  • 🧬 Seamless Gastric Transport: Bypasses the heavy, slow digestion of thick liquid gels to prevent stomach cramps and nausea.
  • 🎒 Pocket-Safe & Clean: No leaking packets or syrupy fingers, just easy-seal energy on demand.
  • ⚡ Flatline Energy Curve: Enables precise micro-dosing every 15–20 minutes to keep your pace locked in without a sugar crash.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We’ve got answers!

Will these products cause stomach cramps, bloating, or emergency toilet stops?

No. Every beForm product is engineered with zero fat, zero excess fibre, and an easy-digest structure. Our formulas break down rapidly in the digestive tract to ensure smooth nutrient absorption without sitting heavy in your stomach or causing GI distress, even during max-effort runs.

How long before I see results?

Simple carbohydrates found in beFuel can be effective within minutes.

Is it safe to take every day?

You can take beFuel daily to support and fuel your training.

When should I use beFuel

Start eating sports sweets before, during, and after exercise to support energy and recovery.

Do I need to change my diet or routine?

No, beFuel can be used alongside your current diet or routine.

Can I use beFuel with other supplements?

We would recommend using beFuel to power your running alongside beHydrate to keep you hydrated effectively.

Why not gels?

I found gels to be sickly, very sticky and a pain to open whilst on the go. They also upset my stomach. These are a solid alternative, and much cheaper to buy.
