Rootana has been designed to provide a natural taste rather than an artificial one. For this reason, we use a tiny amount of naturally occurring coconut sugar to provide sweetness instead of using sucralose or stevia. The predominant taste of Rootana comes from the high-quality oat flour used in the formula. Rootana can also be blended with any number of healthy ingredients to create your own tasty shakes.

Rootana is a nutritious and healthy meal choice and we recommend consuming it for 1-2 meals each day.

Rootana is a meal made from real food ingredients that provides you with 27 vitamins and minerals, alongside protein, fibre, carbohydrates and healthy fats.

There are a few reasons why Rootana avoids the use of artificial sweeteners.

Sucralose (Splenda) is an artificial sweetener that has been linked to various health risks, from heart disease to increasing weight gain. You can find detailed information and the studies about Sucralose here: https://usrtk.org/sweeteners/sucralose-emerging-science-reveals-health-risks/ As well as the long-term health concerns. Many people report digestion, gut and excess gas problems after consuming Sucralose.

Stevia (Steviol Glycosides) has been shown to effect gut health in studies. Many people report having a headache after consuming Stevia. It has an unpleasant after taste, manufacturers try to disguise this taste by mixing it with other sweeteners or sugar.

Overall, the long-term health effects of sweeteners are unknown. Which is why we have chosen not to use them in Rootana.
