Beyond the Race: How Active Root Supports Everyday Wellness

March 20, 2025 Helen Keith

Here at Active Root we’re passionate about delivering sports nutrition to help power your fitness, training and racing requirements. Our range of ginger-based products is there to help you at every stage. However it’s not just sporting endeavours that we can fuel; Active Root can support you in everyday life outside of sports training.

At the heart of Active Root lies the potent force of high gingerol compound ginger. Ginger has been used to cure nausea and sea sickness since ancient Chinese times. We use natural root ginger in our products to help soothe the stomach and prevent gastric discomfort. Ginger contains unique gingerol compounds, which interact with the stomach and help keep your digestion feeling normal.

Working not only to help calm your stomach, ginger is also packed with anti-inflammatory compounds that can help sore muscles recover faster, and ease stiff and sore joints too. Research indicates that supplementing with ginger post-workout can help with muscle pain and support your body with recovery. A natural painkiller, ginger activates the digestive system and stimulates blood flow which can help avoid stomach issues and nausea.

Ginger has been found to improve cardiovascular health by lowering cholesterol levels and improving blood circulation. Better cardiovascular health means a better supply of oxygen and nutrients to the muscles during exercise, enhancing endurance and performance.

Ginger is also a great source of vital vitamins and minerals, including vitamins B6 and C, magnesium, iron, and zinc. Combined with its high antioxidant content, Ginger can help strengthen your immune system.

Our clean, ginger-infused range of natural nutrition products can support you in everyday life, not just during your training and sporting pursuits. Keep on top of your hydration with our range of drinks including Sports Drink Mix and Electrolite Drink Mix. Our Energy Chews can provide a tasty snack and energy boost when you need one, and our hot Recovery Drink Mix can warm you up on a chilly day.

To support your everyday wellness and maintain better overall health, Active Root can be a powerful addition to your nutrition plan!
