Stay Healthy This Flu Season with These Genius Single-Serve Wellness Shots
There are a lot of cool things out there that make us wonder — do they really work? In our I Tried It series, we set out to use them in the real world and have determined that, in fact, they really do.
On Trial: Rooted Shots
The Tester: Danielle St. Pierre, lover of wellness shots that actually work
The Brief: It may have taken me a number of years, but now — finally — at 30 years old, I can detect exactly when I feel a cold coming on. It starts with a little tickle in my throat, possibly a swollen lymph node, and a general feeling of imminent doom.
Luckily, this flu season I discovered a new remedy to take at that exact moment: Rooted Shots. These organic, superfood-packed, plant-based powdered wellness shots contain 500 milligrams of vitamin C and only clean, real, simple ingredients. These shots contain zero refined sugars, and only 10 calories per serving. Magic!
Grab and go Rooted Shots make it easier than ever to stay healthy!

These powdered wellness shots are formulated to boost the immune system using only natural ingredients, including powerful roots like anti-inflammatory turmeric and anti-viral ginger, vitamin C-loaded fruits like lemon, orange, and strawberry, and sinus-blasting black pepper and cayenne pepper. Not only are these wellness shots potent and effective — they are also delicious.
These wellness shots come in three flavor combinations of the above-listed ingredients. My favorite hands-down is the slightly spicy ginger, lemon, and cayenne pepper blend. (Note: the orange/strawberry and turmeric flavors do contain stevia for a little added sweetness, in case that's not your thing.)

An alternative to other vitamin C packets on the market that are packed with sugars and artificial ingredients that could actually make your cold even worse, Rooted Shots are simple and clean, formulated with minimal ingredients and no BS.
As cofounder Chris Douglass explained in a recent press release:
“Rooted Shots was created to offer a plant-based wellness solution that is easy to take on the go. I saw an opportunity to take two imperfect choices and make a healthy solution.
"Previously, there was only a [sugary] powdered vitamin C packet... or a fresh squeezed juice shot, which required driving to a juice bar, waiting in line, and then paying $5. Now with Rooted Shots there’s a simple and delicious way to include wellness into your daily routine.”
Closing Argument: If I feel a cold cruising in, I pour a packet of Rooted into a glass of cold water, give it a stir, and sip it. While this isn't a proven remedy for the common cold (and if you're feeling sick, you should always still go see your doctor), it's a convenient, effective immune system booster you can pop into your bag or stash at your desk.
