Our drinks and gels are crafted to help improve your performance, and all our products are suitable for vegetarian, vegan, and dairy free diets. We only use simple, high quality natural ingredients which help to maintain a settled stomach, providing more predictable results and avoiding the dreaded gut bomb! All our products contain 204mg of ginger per serving, the proven optimal amount to keep your stomach settled and help prevent nausea and bloating.

Nutrition for multi-discipline endurance events can be a daunting prospect, but the gains from having a nutrition plan are massive. From short to long distance events a tried and tested nutrition plan will give you that extra confidence and belief that will make the difference on race day. The golden rule when it comes to nutrition is 'try before race day', multiple times if you can. That way you can tweak it to your own personal needs.

Below is more information about our suggested nutrition options and how to use them:

Sports Drink: Active Root Sports Drink Mix is made with high gingerol compound ginger, slow-burning cane sugar, and replenishing sea salt. This carefully crafted blend provides sustained energy and optimal hydration. Packed with over 200mg of natural dried ginger, it also helps alleviate gastrointestinal stress and reduces nausea. Depending on strength, each sachet makes 500-700ml of sports drink. Simply pour your sachet into 500-700ml of water and shake, adjusting the amount of water to taste.

ElectroLite: A healthier hydration source for an active lifestyle. Containing root ginger, unrefined sea salt and just 33 calories, Electrolite delivers healthier hydration as well as reducing nausea and bloating. Per 9g serving (mixed with 500ml of water), ElectroLite contains only natural ingredients, including: 800mg of sea salt, ginger, the same amount as in our Sports Drinks, 8g of cane sugar, natural sweetener stevia. Depending on strength, each sachet makes 500-700ml of sports drink. Simply pour your sachet into 500-700ml of water and shake, adjusting the amount of water to taste.

Gel Mix: Gel Mix comes as a powder that you mix with water in a Soft Flask which then turns into a Gel, getting rid of the need for sticky single use gel packets. One 170ml Soft Flask holds between the equivalent of 1-4 gel servings, so it's also easier to carry your fuel. Per 25g serving (mixed with 25ml of water) our Gel Mix contains only natural ingredients, including: - 24g of cane sugar (carbohydrate) - ginger, the same amount as in our Sports Drinks - 100mg of sea salt - maize starch and citrus.

A big problem with standard gels is that you have to consume the whole 25g of carbohydrate in one, causing a spike in your blood sugar levels. By drinking from a reusable Soft Flask, you can consume more gradually keeping your blood sugar levels steady. You can also make the gel to your preferred consistency by adding more or less water. Simply add your Gel Mix powder into your soft flask and add water to mix. 1x scoop of Gel Mix powder + 1x scoop of water = 1 thin consistency Gel Mix serving. Each serving makes up the equivalent of 1x standard single use gel (we recommend adding 3x gel servings to your soft flask before filling the rest of the soft flask with water).
