Why Use Active Root's Energy Gels?

Why Use Active Root's Energy Gels?

Our brand new Energy Gels are made using a blend of natural ingredients including brown rice syrup, agave syrup, tapioca syrup, lemon juice concentrate and our signature root ginger, providing you with sustained energy and a settled stomach. Discover the perfect balance of natural energy and digestive support whilst fuelling your adventures. Ideal for runners, cyclists, and athletes, our energy gels prevent bloating and gastric discomfort, common during intense exercise.

Studies have shown that up to 90% of athletes experience some form of gastric discomfort during exercise, whether it’s pre-race nerves before, feeling sick during the event or bloating afterwards (De Oliveira & Jeukendrup, 2014). 

We use natural root ginger in our nutrition products. 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.

Furthermore, ginger contains anti-inflammatory compounds that can help sore muscles recover faster. It is often used to ease stiff and sore joints too. Research indicates that supplementing with ginger post-workout can help with muscle pain and support your body with recovery. 

With a light, refreshing lemon flavour, each Energy Gel contains 30g carbohydrates, 122 calories and 40mg sodium, making it ideal for your next session! Our Energy Gels are gluten-free, vegan, and all-natural.

We recommend consuming up to 3 sachets per hour with 300ml of water.
