Everyone can benefit from the powerful health benefits of Well Rooted.

How to Use Well Rooted
How do I take Well Rooted?
Mix one stickpack of Well Rooted into 8-16 oz of water and stir well.
Regular, daily use yields the best results for immune support and gut health.
Take in the morning for all-day support.
How much water should I mix it with?
We think Well Rooted tastes best when mixed with 8oz of water, but you can mix with 16oz of water or more for a lighter flavor. Find the taste that is right for you!
Diluting with more water will not diminish its effects.
Can I take it on an empty stomach?
Yes, Well Rooted can be taken without food. However, for optimal results, we recommend taking in close proximity to food (before or after eating) as Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin and is better absorbed with food.
If you have a sensitive stomach, we recommend taking with food.
Can I take it at night?
Yes. Well Rooted does not contain caffeine or any ingredients that interfere with sleep.
Can I mix it with hot water?
Hot water may reduce the viability of the Vitamin C.
However, our other ingredients (BeniCaros®, IMMUSE®, Vitamin D, Zinc) should be unaffected by the temperature.
We do not encourage mixing Well Rooted with boiling water but warm water (drinkable temperature) should be fine.

Product Information
What does it taste like?
Currently, we have one flavor, “Mixed Berry”, which tastes like berry-flavored water.
Our customers describe the taste as pleasant, crisp, and refreshing.
The flavor comes from organic red tart cherry powder, organic strawberry powder, and a small amount of stevia leaf extract.
How can I learn more about the supporting research?
Each active ingredient in Well Rooted is backed by clinical studies, human trials, and peer-reviewed literature. If you'd like to learn more about an ingredient and the benefits it can offer, there is plenty of available literature for you to review.
The websites for Benicaros® and IMMUSE® have research on those ingredients. PubMed is a great resource for research on Vitamin C, Vitamin D3, and Zinc.
Why is it in powder form?
Powder, when mixed with liquid, is absorbed immediately by your body unlike pills, capsules, tablets, or gummies which take longer to digest.
What gives it its color?
We don't use any artificial colorings or dyes so the color you see is a result of the raw blend of natural ingredients we use.
Why is there residue at the bottom of the glass?
This is completely normal! Not all of our ingredients are water soluble so some residue is expected. Give your water bottle a shake or stir the formula in your glass and the product will evenly distribute again.
What is the shelf-life of the product?
Well Rooted will last for at least 36 months if stored at room temperature and protected from moisture.
Where are your products made?
We produce our product in Irving, Texas and operate out of Dunedin, Florida.
