Taking Rootless can be a nutritional strategy against symptoms associated with menopause such as hot flashes and fatigue. The main ingredient, seaweed, is rich in iodine, polyphenols, and polysaccharides which beneficially influence the estrobolome (gut bacteria), and can support the symptoms associated with menopause and aging.

Iodine replacement is critical during perimenopause. It supports thyroid function and cellular health, which are essential for regulating metabolism and energy levels.

I love self-care practices for me and my clients that are nourishing, sustainable, and delicious. Rootless Daily Bites are a perfect example! As a holistic nutritionist who eats and recommends a plant-forward diet, I love that seaweed is not only chock full of vital nutrients and minerals, but that it is also a regenerative crop and good for the planet.

Rootless provides a convenient and delicious way to incorporate more fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and a variety of minerals into your diet. These ingredients can improve energy, metabolism, and skin health – areas that are often affected during menopause. Rootless bites provide an ideal and wholesome indulgence for nurturing oneself!

In Chinese Medicine, we treat the root (the cause of the symptom) while also treating the branch (the symptoms themselves) to bring you back into homeostasis or balance. Seaweed has been used in Chinese herbal medicine for centuries, and can be an effective option for treating both the root and branch of hormonal imbalance symptoms.

Frequently asked questions
Do you have a variety pack?
Yes. It is delicious.
Why do I care about iodine?
Iodine is a trace mineral required by the body to synthesize thyroid hormones, specifically T3 and T4. Since the body doesn’t produce its own iodine, we have to get it from food sources. When the body produces thyroid hormones without sufficient iodine levels, the thyroid hormones get stored, until the time at which the body has enough iodine to utilize those hormones. When enough thyroid hormones get built up, a goiter can develop. In the United States in the early 1900’s, there was a severe iodine deficiency throughout much of the northern half of the country. This area became known as the “goiter belt” due to the prevalence of goiters, and other iodine deficiency related maladies in the population. As a result of this public health crisis, the federal government regulated the addition of iodine in table salt and other commodities.
Recently, the National Institute of Health (NIH) reported on a reemergence of iodine deficiency within certain populations in the US, namely, “women of reproductive age”. Additional at-risk populations include vegans and vegetarians, people who don’t cook with iodized table salt, and people that live in areas with depleted soil.
Common symptoms of iodine deficiency are: fatigue and lethargy, weight gain/inability to lose weight, hair loss and thinning, sensitivity to cold or trouble regulating body temperature, trouble with memory and focus, painful or irregular menstruation, fertility issues, problems during pregnancy, vertigo, irregular heartbeat, and dry skin.
According to the NIH, “Iodine is one of the most common nutrient deficiencies and is estimated to affect 35–45% of the world’s population”.
We’ve formulated our Daily Bites to provide a daily dose of iodine for adults, or about 190mcg of iodine. We did this so as not to exceed the tolerable upper limit (TUL) of iodine, which is 1,100 mcg.
Do you do 3rd party testing for heavy metals and microplastics?
An independent, third party lab has run these extensive nutrition panels on our bites. We have also run heavy metal and toxicity tests on our product - the bites are under safe harbor limits as regulated by Prop 65. There isn’t yet an established standardized methodology for detecting and counting microplastics in food.
Our supplier, Maine Coast Sea Vegetables, has studied the potential for seaweed to uptake microplastics, and has found that because macroalgae don’t consume random particles of food or filter seawater like filter feeders do,if microplastics are present, they would be on the surfaceof the seaweed and not within, which would be washed away during cleaning and processing.
