Racing Abroad? How to Travel with Active Root for Overseas Events

Are you taking part in an event abroad this autumn? Take the stress out of your planning and packing with Active Root’s handy and convenient range of fuelling and hydration that travels with you and allows you to focus on your performance with a settled stomach. This article focuses on our easy-to-carry range of products which are ideal for taking on flights, using for races abroad and in unfamiliar climates.

Electrolite Tablets

Our Electrolite Tablets are designed to provide superior hydration support for athletes during endurance training and events. These compact, convenient tablets contain a precise blend of essential electrolytes to replenish what is lost through sweat. The Electrolite Tablet's unique hypotonic formula helps maintain proper fluid balance and electrolyte levels during activity. With sodium (500mg), potassium (100mg), magnesium (25mg), and calcium (15mg), this blend mimics the electrolyte composition found in sweat, preventing dehydration and supporting endurance.

Designed for flexibility, Electrolite Tablets adapt to your activity intensity, ensuring the right level of hydration and electrolyte replenishment. They’re vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free, as well as being easy to carry and use on-the-go, perfect for travelling. Whether you're training on holiday or competing abroad, Electrolite Tablets offer a hydration solution that's inclusive and practical for athletes everywhere.

Electrolite Sachets

The rest of our hydration and nutrition range includes natural root ginger. The ginger in Active Root can help contribute towards a normally functioning settled stomach, thereby allowing athletes to focus on their performance rather than their stomach. In addition to preventing stomach discomfort, ginger also stimulates appetite, making it easier for athletes to consume necessary nutrients and fluids during prolonged exercise sessions.

Recommended by The Telegraph as a top choice for sensitive stomachs, our Electrolite Drink Mix contains 203mg of ginger to help prevent gut bombs and up to 325mg sodium for superior hydration. Electrolite Drink Mix is a hydration drink designed for an active lifestyle and is available in three delicious flavours: Original, Mixed Berry, and Lemon. Offering a healthier alternative to traditional sports drinks and infused with root ginger, Electrolite Mix delivers natural hydration while helping reduce nausea and bloating, ensuring you feel your best during and after your run. 

With only 31 calories, 8g of carbs, and 801mg of unrefined sea salt, 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 9g serving sachets are perfect for travelling - light, easy-to-carry and to open on the move.

Sports Drink Mix Sachets

Bigger in size than Electrolite Drink Mix sachets but still small enough to carry without inconvenience, our Sports Drink Mix is the perfect fuelling source especially for longer events. Our Sports Drink Mix contains 239mg of ginger to help prevent gut bombs, 40g carbs for a steady release of energy, and up to 161 calories in each serving. Forget 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 unique formulation includes 567mg sea salt, helping to replace vital electrolytes lost through sweat. Stay hydrated, reduce muscle cramps, and support faster recovery with this sports drink.

Final Thoughts

It’s always best to double check with your airline and the guidelines provided by the destination country prior to travelling for your own peace of mind. However, as we’ve now teamed up with FedEx International Connect Plus to make sure more athletes around the world can enjoy their favourite ginger-powered nutrition with ease, there’s also the option of shipping to your destination if you have friends or family there to receive it in advance of your event!
