Absolutely love Active Root products
Absolutely love Active Root products. I specially use their electrolytes which taste superb and the ginger sachets for fuelling and hydrating on long runs. It's the only one that tastes great and my stomach can take!
I rarely use sports gels or drinks…
I rarely use sports gels or drinks because they upset my tummy - but this was a delight. I ran 50km ultra, taking 4, and a 10km Spartan race using 2 and no stomach issues at all! They tasted great, mixed easily in my water - highly recommend.
Quick delivery
Activerrot are th best gels I've tried by far
Arrived on schedule. Tried the original and rhubarb on race trial run and loved them, sustainable packaging, easy to tear, no stickiness to hands and not sharp on the insides of my mouth as I have found with other brands, the flavours are great, texture easy to swallow and digest. Definitely no gut issues with these. Always a bonus having a discount code JOHN10.
Bought a four pack of Energy Chews
Bought a four pack of Energy Chews. Really helped on a 28k I did. Stomach great. Going to use on all long runs from now on.
Good service and good product
Delivered ahead of time. Was recommended this product (AR sports drink) by a fellow runner. It worked really well for me during a race, easy and tasty to drink and kept cramps away which used to plague me in the past.
Great hydration
Used active root to help power a couple of ultra races. Never let me down yet. Thank you.
Apple Power
I’m not usually a huge fan of gels but when I tried the new apple flavour I was really surprised. The flavour was really gentle and went down well. It is still sweet but it works with the apple flavour.
These gels are not too thick so easy to swallow.
All of Active Root products are gentle on the stomach and these are no exception. Easy to open to which is great when you’ve been out for a while. It’s a thumbs up from me on these 👍🏻😁
Hits the spot!!!
I’ve been using Active Root for quite some time and love their product 🙂
Fast delivery
Love the Sports Drink
Quick delivery, love the sports drink. Great for fuelling before, during and after a long run.
Chews give and extra boost and no problems with my gut at all.
Genuine product that works
So easy to deal with . Their product really does work - no stomach problems on endurance events!
Activeroot delivers as usual
So easy to order and delivery was 2 days later. No worries when ordering and receiving.
Great products and customer service
As always a pleasure to get another box of goodies to help me with my race prep
