Discover the perfect balance of natural energy and digestive support with Active Root’s Energy Gel. Formulated with a blend of brown rice syrup, agave syrup, tapioca syrup, lemon juice concentrate, and ginger root extract, this gel ensures sustained energy and a settled stomach. Ideal for runners, cyclists, and athletes, it prevents bloating and gastric discomfort, common during intense exercise.
First and foremost, carbohydrates are the main ingredient in our Energy Gel, with 30g of carbs per 42g serving. Glucose is a type of sugar that gets absorbed quickly by the body and provides immediate energy. Fructose is a type of sugar that occurs naturally in fruits and is absorbed more slowly than glucose. It provides a long-lasting source of energy instead of the quick hit that you get from glucose. The 2:1 glucose:fructose ratio delivers more carbohydrates to the working muscles than glucose alone, allowing maximum absorption of carbs.
Our Energy Gel is designed to be easily digested and absorbed by the body. When you're running or doing any other activity that causes a lot of stress on your muscles, it's important to keep them fuelled with nutrients. Complex carbs are broken down in the stomach quickly, which allows your muscles to access the fuel they need to keep going.
At Active Root, we take pride in our commitment to using natural ingredients in all of our products. 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
At the heart of our products is the power of ginger, which supports digestive health and prevents bloating. 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. This appetite boost becomes increasingly crucial during endurance events where maintaining fuel and hydration levels is critical.
With a light, refreshing lemon flavour, each Energy Gel contains 30g carbohydrates, 122 calories and 40mg sodium. Our Energy Gels are gluten-free, vegan, and all-natural. We recommend consuming up to 3 sachets per hour with 300ml of water.
