General

Our mission is to make sports nutrition easy to understand and practical to use and to help you fuel your best so you can perform better more often and recover well. We think carefully about every ingredient that goes into our products to ensure it provides a very specific purpose and not just act as a filler. We want to help you master your nutrition strategy and don’t want to bust the gut or the butt when doing so. Therefore, we use real ingredients sourced from real foods. You can also pronounce the ingredients we too, which is a bonus.

We use our products ourselves and we are picky when it comes to nutrition and what we consume. That’s a good thing for you as it means you are getting quality ingredients and products developed holistically and tested on ourselves, friends and family.

We are also a bit geeky when it comes to nutrition. So we only use evidence-based research to drive our product range. This helps us ensure to the best of our knowledge, understanding and resources that we only produce and deliver the best products for you to perform.

We are currently based in Singapore. With your support, we hope to grow our business to better serve the international sporting community.

Thanks for considering our products on your shelves – we’re stoked! Drop us an email at admin@activevita.com.sg  and we will take it from there. 

If you order has not yet been paid for, you can amend your order in your shopping cart. If you have already paid, do drop us an email at hello@activevita.com.sg and let us know you would like an edit to the order. If the order has been collected and processed by the courier then we won’t be able to make any adjustments as the products will be well on their way to you. 

About our Products

ACTIVE VITA products are manufactured in Singapore under the strict Singapore food safety guidelines. 

You’re right! Protein certainly has its benefits. However, there are a few factors we considered, which led to our decision of using Branched Chain Amino Acids. Some of those factors include:

  • Proteins don’t always taste that great.
  • Proteins take longer to digest.
  • Proteins affect the glycaemic index of the drink mix, therefore further reducing the drinks ability to be absorbed quickly and with less gastro intestinal issues when training for longer sessions.
  • When exercising above a moderate intensity level you burn carbohydrates as the main fuel source – that is what keeps you going. So we wanted to prioritise replacing this fuel source first.  Whilst there is a small amount of muscle breakdown during exercise we wanted to cover this too so we did by adding BCAAs. However, having a full protein profile (all the proteins) means the carbohydrate to protein ratio is less than ideal and you get less carbohydrates that fuel your workout per serving. We therefore, suggest that protein replacement to fully repair your muscles happens after exercise by taking in high quality protein-based whole foods.

We used free form Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) + Glutamine. This helps improve the rate of perceived exertion, performance and muscle glycogen resynthesis, whilst reducing muscle damage and central fatigue. In short, you get the most effective amino acids (BCAAs) responsible for muscle development and repair in their purest form, while getting the most amount of fuel to keep you going during exercise. 

We have chosen packaging that helps maintain the shelf life and ingredient integrity of the products. Storing the products in a cool, dry place and remember to re-seal the bags after use. The fridge or freezer are great options to keep things fresh for longer. You know how hot and sweaty you get when laying out in the sun for too long? Well, the powders feel the same. So try to avoid direct sunlight, humidity and long exposures to heat.

Yes you can. Part of our mission is to simplify nutrition and show athletes like yourself that nutrition does not need to be complected.

Nutrition, training and recovery are essential when trying to perform your best doing the exercise you love. At ACTIVE VITA we produce products that can be used and help you whether you do ball, intermittent or endurance sports. It does not matter whether you need a quick refuel at half time during a football or rugby game, load up the calories on the bike during a triathlon, reduce cramping when running, sip an energy drink during those longer swim intervals, refuel to keep that focus on the squash ball, fuel up in the pit lane on track days, etc. Our AV Carb Drink mix can be used in all of these instances and across most sports.

We put in the legwork in the nutrition front so you can get the energy to put the legwork in the training front. We never use artificial ingredients to help make digestion easier, resulting in less gastro-intestinal (GI) issues.

We try and keep our products natural with an assortment of ingredients. These ingredients may include a variety of carefully selected and researched sugars. These sugars are to provide various functions be it to act as a delivery mechanism for other ingredients, provide long-term or short-term energy, etc. Subsequently these may impact sugar levels in various ways. We suggest that you consult your doctor prior to the consumption of any use.  

Our products don’t carry any ingredients that are not recommended for children. However, children’s daily requirements can differ from those of adults and sometimes these quantities may not be suitable for children. It is always best to consult your child’s doctor prior to the consumption of any use.  

Our ingredients are sourced from around the world. Whilst our products and factory are free from nuts, eggs, soy, shellfish and peanuts, we cannot guarantee the ingredients have not been in contact with any of the above at their original source. 

Of course you can. Remember the sooner you consume the mix the fresher the drink is. The longer you leave it the more the flavour ingredients tend to degrade.

TIP: If your schedule changes at the last minute and you are unable to train but have already mixed the drink then pop it into the fridge. We have found that freezing your drink works well too. Just remember to take it out early enough for it to thaw. On a personal note, when we have quite a bit of the drink leftover after our sessions, we then pop the remainder into a clean drink bottle, top it up to make a full portion in the bottle, then freeze it so it’s ready for the next session. Don’t waste the stuff! You need it! You can also make frozen popsicles which go down a treat in hot weather activities.

All ACTIVE VITA sports nutritional products have best before dates, and we recommend you consume your product before these dates. The flavours of our drink mixes can last up to a week in the fridge, possibly longer and the other ingredients even longer. 

Yes you can. Actually, the fridge and freezer are good idea if you’re not going to use it for a long time such as going away for a holiday. 

Our Energy Drink Mix has 500mg of Sodium and 30g carbohydrates per serving (2 scoops). For two servings (4 scoops) that’s 1000mg Sodium and 60g carbohydrates per 1L.

The drink mix has been designed to be used by those that are heavy sweaters, training in hot and humid conditions, exercising for longer sessions, those that lose a lot of sodium when exercising or those that find themselves adding salt or electrolyte tablets to their drink mixes. Remember, the objective of fuelling during exercise is not to replace everything you have lost during that exercise. Instead the objective should be to keep yourself fuelled at optimal levels to keep you performing safely.

We recommend using our products during exercise or activities that may result in you sweating from effort. As with any nutritional product, they should be used sensibly and with a well-balanced diet and we suggest you consult your doctor prior to the consumption of any of our products.

That’s ok. As we use real fruit for flavouring you may find minute particles of fruit. There may also be trace amounts of sodium at the bottom of the bottle. This is normal. These will eventually dissolve. Just give the bottle a shake like you mean it when you first mix in the powder, and giving it a little shake before you take a sip will also help. 

Of course you can. We dehydrate our drink mixes so they stay fresher for you for longer. It does mean they may absorb moisture rather quickly. This may cause some lumping. Once you add the powder to water the lumps will eventually dissolve.

If you are in a humid region or worried about your powders going lumpy, consider keeping the drink mix in its original bag, then placing the bag in a tight jar or zip-lock bag. Add a handful of dry rice into the zip-lock bag (not the powder bag) as this will help absorb any moisture before your drink mix does. Or pop the drink mix powder into the fridge to keep things fresher for longer.

100% they do. You can add the mix to hot water and drink it or take it with you to drink later on the fly when it will be warm. The flavours are quite pleasant and warming in the cold weather.

Yes, we’ve all experienced that. Hold the bag in your hands and gently squeeze the bag and see if you can feel the scoop. Perhaps it has taken a deep dive into the bottom of the bag.  If you find it, gently move the scoop to the top of the bag.

If you’ve completely lost your scoop then use 4.5 teaspoons to get the equivalent to one scoop. That is 9 teaspoons gives you one serving.

As our product range grows so too will our shelf life vary for each product. Please check the package your products Best Before. We will continue to do what we can with our developers and packaging suppliers to get the longest shelf life possible for you.
