Surprising Uses for Active Root You Need to Try

We all know that Active Root is the perfect companion for athletes, helping to keep you fuelled and comfortable during your workouts. But did you know that our products can support you in everyday life when you’re not training or working out?

Here’s some alternative uses for our ginger-infused products!

Kickstarting Your Day

Looking for a quick, energising breakfast? Our Energy Gel - specifically our Rhubarb flavour, is a great option to put on your toast! Packed with 30g carbs that provide a steady release of energy, and with many of you telling us how it tastes like a sharp jam, it's a match made in heaven that is perfect for starting your day right! Our Lemon flavoured Energy Gel has been compared to lemon curd so that would also be an excellent option.

Another breakfast fusion we’re fans of is a scoop of Hot Cocoa Recovery Drink Mix powder stirred into our porridge - a warming way to start the day with a kick of ginger and delicious chocolate.

The Ultimate Hangover Cure

Had one too many at the pub the previous night? We've all been there! Thankfully, our Electrolite Drink Mix is the perfect solution. With 203mg ginger per serving, this drink will help ease nausea and settle upset stomachs, whilst the 325mg sodium will help rehydrate you.

Stomach Virus Relief

Suffering with a bout of norovirus or other stomach bug? Sports Drink Mix is your new best friend! With 239mg ginger per serving, it will help alleviate nausea, and ease digestion. The 226mg sodium will help prevent dehydration, and the 40g carbs will help keep you energized!

Keeping Colds Away

Ginger is 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 ginger-based products can help you keep hydrated and feeling more able to take on the day when battling coughs, sneezes and sniffles.

Sea Sickness Assistance

Ginger is a natural painkiller, supporting blood circulation, activating the digestive system and stimulating blood flow which can help avoid stomach issues and nausea. Our Peppermint and Ginger Sports Drink Mix has helped one of our customers to swim the English Channel with a settled stomach and kept salt mouth at bay! Travel or motion sickness can also be helped by using ginger - our Energy Chews are the perfect snack for bumpy journeys!

While our ginger products are designed with athletes in mind, their benefits are universal. So, whether you're nursing a hangover, battling a cold, or simply looking to spice up your meals, we've got you covered.
