Flavour Flight Guide: Find Your Perfect Active Root Match

Flavour Flight Guide: Find Your Perfect Active Root Match

Helen Keith

Are you loyal to one Active Root flavour or do you like to sample a variety of our options when it comes to drinks? Take our flavour flight guide and find your perfect Active Root match for easy runs, long days on the trail, or that tough session.

All our drink mixes contain our signature ingredient ginger. Ginger is well-known for its ability to soothe the stomach. Ginger contains the compound Gingerol, which can help contribute to soothing the stomach by relaxing the muscles in the gut. It also can have a calming effect, reducing bloating and stomach discomfort. The ginger in Active Root has been specially used because of the high gingerol ratio!

We take pride in our use of stomach-settling ginger, but our use of natural ingredients can also contribute towards a normal functioning stomach. As the body can recognise these ingredients more easily, they are less likely to cause an upset stomach, whereas artificial additives can sometimes cause unwanted side effects.

With Active Root, there are no artificial flavours. Just natural tastes through the use of dried fruit powders, extracts and juices!

OG Fan?

Our Original Ginger flavour is our staple - the first flavour we offered, and a firm favourite for so many. We offer our Original Ginger flavour in both our Sports Drink Mix and Electrolite Drink Mix. The Sports Drink Mix is a carbohydrate based drink designed to fuel and sustain longer efforts, whereas the Electrolite Drink Mix is a low calorie hydration drink designed more to replenish electrolytes lost in sweat during shorter, more intense sessions.

The Electrolite Drink Mix contains 800mg of unrefined sea salt per 9g serving and 8g of carbs per serving, whereas the Sports Drink Mix provides more sustained energy with 40g of carbs per serving and 567mg of salt per 42g serving.

Magic Mint?

Our Peppermint flavour Sports Drink Mix balances the power of stomach settling ginger with the magic of mint. Peppermint combines the refreshing , cooling sensation of real peppermint extract with the gut-soothing power of natural ginger, giving you a smooth and easy-to-drink fuelling option. Unlike overpowering mint flavours, this delivers a light, clean, refreshing taste, not too sweet and not too sharp. Peppermint can also provide a variety of extra benefits including sharpening focus, easing respiratory issues, and aiding digestion.

With 40g carbs, 226mg sodium, and 239mg ginger, our Peppermint Sports Drink Mix delivers steady fuelling, natural hydration, and easy digestion for every mile.

Love Lemon?

We offer zesty lemon and ginger flavour in our Electrolite Drink Mix, perfect for those shorter sessions or more intense workouts. Packed with electrolytes to keep you hydrated, and ginger to keep your stomach settled, these drinks give you the tools to keep going, no matter the challenge!

Whether you're hitting the gym, going for a run, or engaging in any other physical activity, Electrolite Drink Mix is the perfect companion to keep you hydrated and performing at your best. Enjoy our revitalizing citrusy boost with our light lemon flavour.

Mix It Up With Mixed Berry

Like our Lemon flavour, Mixed Berry features in our Electrolite Drink Mix range. Infused with 203mg of ginger, it delivers natural hydration while helping reduce nausea and bloating, ensuring you feel your best during and after your workout. Mixed Berry Electrolite Drink Mix combines the delicious combination of strawberry and blueberry to refresh your senses and replenish lost electrolytes.
