At Active Root, we take pride in our commitment to using natural ingredients in our products. Predominantly, we use Natural Cane Sugar as our fuel source, Natural Sea Salt as our electrolyte source, and Ginger to help settle your stomach. By taking this approach, we are able to provide customers with effective products as the type of fuel you choose can make a significant difference in performance and recovery.
The Benefits of Unrefined Sugars in Sports Nutrition
Unrefined sugars are a very traditional form of sweeteners. They are less processed and therefore maintain more of their natural characteristics when compared to refined sugars, preserving natural elements like minerals. Our use of clean, minimally processed ingredients means that the body can more easily recognize and utilize the nutrients provided. Natural forms of nutrients are typically absorbed better than those that are artificially created. This ensures that athletes are receiving the most out of every ingredient used, helping support sustained performance, more efficient energy use, and quicker recovery.
Why We Use Unbleached Cane Sugar
We understand the importance of quality ingredients, which is why we use unbleached cane sugar in almost all of our products. One of the key benefits of unbleached cane sugar is its ability to provide a steady release of energy. Its unique 50/50 combination of glucose and fructose results in a more gradual rise in blood sugar levels when consumed, which may help sustain carbohydrate delivery to working muscles without any harmful spikes or crashes.
During intense physical activity, the body needs a quick and easily digestible energy source. Unbleached cane sugar is readily absorbed and metabolised, providing immediate energy without causing digestive discomfort. This makes it an ideal fuel for athletes who need to stay energised without upsetting their stomachs.
Authentic Flavour with Natural Ingredients
Natural ingredients also tend to retain more of their original flavour. Where we use real ginger and natural ingredients like unbleached cane sugar, the taste composition of our products is more authentic and enjoyable compared to those loaded with artificial flavours. We believe consuming sports nutrition should be enjoyable, and a better experience can allow you to focus more on your performance instead of a bad taste in your mouth.
