Product Information

Gel Mix servings in soft flask (Original Ginger, Cacao & Peppermint or Guarana (caffeinated) flavours) Salt attracts fluid, so the more salt that's in your bloodstream (within the usage range above), the higher your blood volume. A higher blood volume decreases the amount of effort your heart has to do. As a result, it doesn’t have to beat as fast to move the same amount of blood through your body. The result is that exercise feels easier

All Active Root drinks contain 204mg of ginger root extract per serving, the equivalent of 4g of raw ginger. Our Gel Mix contains 102mg (2g raw equivalent) per serving. The use of the ingredient is based on findings from co-founder Huw Stradling’s peer reviewed study on the effect of ginger on exercise-induced gastrointestinal disturbances, which showed a decrease in the prevalence of stomach problems and nausea after exercise. l for 1 hour’s activity, confirmed by many studies [1]. In the Active Root core range, we use 400mg per serving. Active Root contains a compound called gingerol which is a relative of the compounds found in chilli peppers and turmeric. It has been suggested that gingerol can contribute to soothing the stomach by relaxing the muscles in the gut, so that stomach contents are released into the small intestine. It may also have a calming effect, so it helps get rid of excess gas, thus reducing bloating and stomach discomfort. The ginger that Active Root uses has been specially selected because of its high gingerol ratio. Containing root ginger, unrefined sea salt and just 33 calories, ElectroLite delivers healthier hydration as well as reducing nausea and bloating.Cane sugar blend (Natural disaccharide, 50%, Glucose, 50% Fructose), Citric Acid, Sea Salt, Ginger Root Extract Sports Drink & ElectroLite Nutritional Information Original Ginger, Peppermint & Ginger, Green Tea & Ginger Depending on strength, each sachet makes 500-700ml of sports drink. Simply pour your sachet into 500-700ml of water and shake, adjusting amount of water to taste. Our sports drinks are an isotonic solution that is formulated to help enhance your hydration levels. All our drinks contain either 400mg or 800mg of sea salt per 500ml serving. Sea salt delivers essential sodium to the blood stream and trace minerals that aid electrolyte balance. Please note, due to the natural ingredients in Active Root it is perfectly normal to find occasional small dark sugar molasses and particles of ginger fibre. When shaken the particles will mostly dissolve into your drink.

The body needs 80-90g of carbohydrate per hour during high intensity exercise. The body’s ability to process this depends on the type of carbohydrate and how it is absorbed. For example, the small intestine can only absorb 60g of glucose per hour. So, if your fuel source only contains glucose, you will only process 66% of the recommended hourly amount. Sugars such as maltodextrin and glucose also have a high glycemic index and are more likely to cause spikes in blood sugar levels.
