Refuel and Reuse with the natural alternative to single use gels!
Active Root Gel Mix is a powder that easily mixes with water to create a natural gel, ideal for endurance racing and training. Easy to mix into your soft flask, you can mix however many servings you need to your preferred thickness so you can forget about sticky single use gels.
Why Use Active Root Gel Mix?
Environmentally Friendly And Low Waste!!
One of our favourite benefits of Active Root Gel Mix is that it gets rid of the problem of single use gel wrappers which either get your shorts or bag very sticky or get thrown on the ground.
By carrying your Gel Mix in a soft flask you don't need to waste plastic or create litter with single use gels. Instead with Gel Mix you can keep reusing your soft flask.
You can also fit 3-4 servings of Gel Mix in a 150ml Soft Flask, so you no longer need to worry about 'where do I store all these Gels' when out for a big adventure.
As with all our Tubs, you can also purchase Gel Mix Tub Refills rather than having to purchase another Gel Mix Tub.
Bespoke And Easy To Mix
A major problem with standard gels is that you have to take them in one go - that's approximately 25g of carbohydrate suddenly hitting your stomach. No wonder so many people have gut problems using them!
Because you can hold multiple Gel Mix servings in a resealable Soft Flask, it means you can drink Gel Mix little and often meaning you don't get those gut bombs.
Also because Active Root Gel Mix comes as a powder, you can make as much or as little of it as you need and as viscous or runny as you like.
Active Root Gel Mix Bundles come with a 3 serving 150ml soft flask. With Gel Mix you're able to take the gel more gradually and measured meaning less chance of those debilitating blood sugar spikes.
All Natural And Stomach Settling
Many of the gastric problems that arise from energy gels are caused by the artificial sweeteners and preservatives that they contain. This can also lead to a sickly, chemical taste.
Active Root Gel Mix only uses natural ingredients that your stomach regularly digests. It's therefore also a far more natural, palatable and, we think, delicious taste! It's hard not to take 3 servings in one it's that moreish!
Like all Active Root products Gel Mix also contains 102mg of stomach settling ginger that helps prevent you feeling nauseous or bloated so you can focus on your sport. Stomach discomfort is a common problem whilst doing exercise, along with trying to keep fuelled and hydrated, particularly after using standard gels. So with Active Root Gel Mix you can forget about those stomach problems, keep naturally fuelled and focus on smashing those PBs!
