Hydration Hacks: How Active Root Helps You Perform in Every Season

Helen Keith

Are you training for a spring marathon during the winter? Or planning an autumnal ultra by training through the summer? Whatever the season, whatever the weather, here at Active Root we have your hydration covered. With our varied range of Sports and Electrolite Drink Mixes, and the all important Recovery Drink Mix, we’ve got the solution to suit your training needs.

Hydration is an often overlooked aspect when it comes to endurance sports. The longer you exercise, the higher the risk of dehydration which can significantly impair performance, increase fatigue, and even pose serious health risks. At Active Root, our products are designed with a focus on optimal hydration, combining natural ingredients to ensure you stay hydrated and energised.

Unlike the short-lived bursts of energy from traditional sports drinks, Active Root features a carefully formulated blend of slow-burning cane sugar, providing a steady stream of fuel to power you through extended periods of physical exertion. Our Sports Drink Mix includes 567mg sea salt, helping to replace vital electrolytes lost through sweat. 

Electrolytes are crucial for maintaining fluid balance, muscle function, and overall hydration. When you sweat, you lose essential electrolytes such as sodium. Our products are formulated to replenish these vital electrolytes, with sodium the most prominent electrolyte in the Active Root range, ensuring that your body's hydration levels remain balanced. This helps prevent cramping, fatigue, and dehydration, allowing you to maintain peak performance.

This is especially important during warmer weather when you’re likely to sweat more and lose those vital electrolytes.

With only 33 calories, 8g of carbs, and 801mg of unrefined sea salt, our Electrolite Drink Mix provides the perfect balance of hydration and electrolyte replenishment. The optimum amount of ginger keeps your stomach settled and supports better hydration.

Our staple ingredient of ginger has also been shown to aid in efficient water absorption. Ginger stimulates the digestive system, helping to enhance the absorption of fluids and electrolytes. This means your body can more effectively utilise the hydration you are providing, keeping you well-hydrated throughout your activity.

During colder weather our bodies have to work harder to maintain their core temperatures, so it’s important to keep fuelled and hydrated even when it’s cold outside.

If you're seeking recovery and replenishment during the winter, Active Root Recovery Drinks offer a comforting and restorative experience. Enjoy the invigorating spice of Hot Spiced, the zesty refreshment of Hot Lemon, or the rich, indulgent Hot Cocoa, each a blend of essential electrolytes, natural ginger, and delicious flavours.

These nourishing drink mixes are specially formulated to help you rehydrate, restore vital nutrients, and revitalize your muscles, so you can bounce back stronger than ever. Whether you're an athlete, fitness enthusiast, or someone who simply enjoys an active lifestyle, our Recovery Drink Mix is the perfect post-workout companion.
