Key Ingredients for Nourishment & Wellness

Organic Matcha (Camellia Sinensis) [Leaf] Powder + -
  • Powdered variety of green tea grown in Japan.
  • Encourages weight loss. *
  • Catechins from matcha help the immune system reduce inflammation in muscles from oxidative stress during exercise, which will give you a faster recovery. They also improve O2 consumption so muscles can work out longer, improving endurance. *
  • Catechins also help promote burning fat for energy instead of carbs. *
  • Contains caffeine and L-theanine, which improve training performance by increasing blood delivery to working muscles. Blood provides nutrients and fuel to our muscles. *
High ORAC Antioxidant Blend + -
  • This blend of fruits and vegetables decreases oxidative stress in the body. Oxidative stress inhibits the body’s ability to detoxify waste. When waste isn’t detoxified, chronic inflammation and the buildup of free radicals causes cellular damage, which can lead to serious health concerns. *
  • Increases cellular oxygen consumption in blood and mitochondria, which provide energy to our muscles, and will fuel your muscles to workout longer and harder. *
  • Naturally increases internal nitric oxide. *
  • Increases blood vessels dilation and enhances blood flow to working muscles, which improves your workout and recovery muscles receive more oxygen and nutrients. *
  • Supports digestive system health by increasing blood flow and reducing inflammation. *
Organic Beet (Beta Vulgaris) [Root] Powder + -
  • Beet roots increase nitric oxide levels, thereby improving cardiovascular health and fueling your workout. *
  • Rich in antioxidants, dietary fiber, calcium, iron, potassium, folate, and manganese.
  • Naturally rich in nitrate compounds that improve blood flow and lower blood pressure. *
Organic Cordyceps Mushroom on Sorghum + -
  • Enhances energy levels by boosting ATP levels within your muscles. You can think of ATP as the fuel source for your muscles. When we have readily available fuel, this allows your muscles to respond quickly to your demands and be able to work longer and harder. *
  • Some studies have suggested that cordyceps reduce levels of lactic acid, the substance that produces fatigue in overstressed muscles. This has direct bearing on exercise capacity. This means you will be able to crank out more reps before you fatigue. *
Organic Coconut (Cocos Nucifera) Water Powder + -
  • Replenishes lost electrolytes.
  • Fuels your working muscles. *
KSM-66 Ashwagandha Extract + -
  • "Adaptogen" to help the body cope with daily stress mentally and physically, which allows for a calmer state mentally. *
  • Helps your body adapt to current stressors so that it has the ability recover faster. *
  • Studies show it can increase cardiorespiratory response which reduces fatigue and improves stamina. *
Organic Maca Powder + -
  • Rich in vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, and protein. These nutrients naturally support energy levels and aid in recovery from injury. *
  • Caffeine free plant increases energy and stamina. *
  • Because it is an adaptogen it will also help manage stress. *
Organic Green Coffee (Coffea Arabica) [Bean] Powder + -
  • Contains chlorogenic acid, which our bodies readily digest to help burn glucose and stored fat by lowering blood sugars and decreasing insulin spikes. *
  • Reduces blood pressure and increase blood flow. *
  • Contains caffeine to boost energy.
  • Improves athletic performance overall. *
Organic Guarana (Paullinia cupana) [Seed] Powder + -
  • Rich in antioxidants, which reduce oxidative stress and allows our bodies to function optimally. *
  • Guarana helps reduce fatigue and increase energy levels. *
  • Amazonian tribes have been using guarana for centuries for its therapeutic properties.
  • Can boost metabolism 3-11% over 12 hours which allows for more calorie burning. *
Caffeine + -
  • From Coffea Arabic [Bean] Extract.
  • Stimulant to improve training intensity and performance.
  • Reduces the perception of fatigue.

Rooted energy has been my saving grace. Went from working out with pre workout. To being pregnant. I needed something that would give me a pep safely, and my pcm agreed this was it. From two pregnancies and now bf my second, this gives me the pep I need outside of just working out in daily life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Product Basics

Twenty2 Nutrition Rooted Energy is an organic plant-based, adaptogen blend designed to provide natural energy and serve as an alternative to coffee or traditional energy drinks. Unlike a standard pre-workout supplement that's formulated specifically for exercise performance with higher stimulant levels, Rooted Energy offers a more balanced approach to daily energy with several key differences:

  • Moderate Caffeine: Contains just 60mg of caffeine per serving (about half of a standard coffee) compared to 150-300mg in typical pre-workouts
  • Adaptogen-Rich: Features ashwagandha and other adaptogens to help manage stress and provide sustainable energy
  • Versatile Use: Designed for all-day energy support, not just workout performance
  • Whole-Body Benefits: Supports overall wellness, not just exercise intensity
  • Micronutrient Dense: Packed with vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients from natural sources
  • Breastfeeding Safe: Formulated to be safe for nursing mothers

While our Pre-Workout is ideal for high-intensity training sessions with ingredients specifically chosen to enhance performance, Rooted Energy is perfect for daily energy support, stress management, and general vitality throughout your day.

Rooted Energy contains 60mg of caffeine per serving, which is approximately half the amount found in a standard cup of coffee (which typically contains 95-120mg). This moderate amount provides a gentle energy boost without overwhelming your system or causing the jitters, anxiety, or crash often associated with higher caffeine products.
This intentionally modest caffeine level, combined with adaptogens like ashwagandha, creates balanced, sustainable energy rather than an intense but short-lived stimulant effect. It's enough to enhance alertness and focus without disrupting your natural energy rhythms.

Absolutely! Rooted Energy was designed to be an excellent coffee alternative for those looking to reduce their caffeine intake or seeking a more nutritionally complete energy solution. Many customers successfully use Rooted Energy to:

  • Replace morning coffee with a more nutritionally balanced option
  • Transition away from high-caffeine habits
  • Avoid the acidity of coffee that can cause digestive discomfort
  • Get sustained energy without the crash that often follows coffee
  • Support overall wellness while boosting energy levels

With 60mg of caffeine per serving (about half of a standard coffee), plus adaptogens and nutritional support, Rooted Energy provides a gentle lift without the jitters or crash. The addition of ashwagandha helps your body better manage stress, which can further enhance natural energy levels throughout the day.

Ingredients & Benefits

Yes! Rooted Energy contains several ingredients that support both hydration and muscle function:

  • Organic Coconut Water Powder: Provides natural electrolytes including potassium, magnesium, sodium, and calcium to support hydration, improve muscle function, reduce fatigue, and prevent cramping.
  • Organic Alkalizing Greens Blend: Helps maintain proper pH balance and provides minerals that support cellular hydration and muscle function.
  • Organic Beet Root Powder: Increases nitric oxide levels, which improves blood flow and the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to muscles.
  • Organic Cordyceps Mushroom: Enhances ATP production in muscles, providing more readily available energy for muscle contractions and function.

These ingredients work synergistically to support both proper hydration status and optimal muscle function, making Rooted Energy an excellent supplement for active individuals throughout the day.

Yes, Rooted Energy is specifically formulated to support endurance and stamina through several mechanisms:

  1. Organic Ashwagandha: This adaptogen helps the body cope with daily stress both mentally and physically. Studies show it can increase cardiorespiratory response, reducing fatigue and improving stamina.
  2. Organic Cordyceps Mushroom: Enhances energy levels by boosting ATP levels within your muscles, providing more "fuel" for physical activity. Research suggests it may reduce levels of lactic acid, decreasing muscle fatigue and allowing you to work longer and harder.
  3. Organic Beet Root Powder: Increases nitric oxide levels, improving cardiovascular function and fueling your workout through enhanced blood flow and oxygen delivery.
  4. Organic Alkalizing Greens Blend: Increases cellular oxygen consumption in blood and mitochondria, providing energy to your muscles for longer, more sustained activity.
  5. Moderate Caffeine (60mg): Provides a gentle energy boost that supports endurance without causing the crash associated with higher caffeine products.

While not as intense as a dedicated pre-workout supplement, Rooted Energy provides balanced support for sustained energy and endurance throughout your day or for moderate exercise sessions.

Yes! Twenty2 Nutrition Rooted Energy is:

  • 100% Vegan: Contains absolutely no animal products or byproducts
  • Free from Artificial Sweeteners: No aspartame, sucralose, acesulfame potassium, or other artificial sweeteners
  • No Artificial Colors: Contains no synthetic dyes or colorants
  • No Artificial Flavors: Uses only natural flavoring systems

  • Gluten-Free: Safe for those with gluten sensitivities
  • Soy-Free: Contains no soy ingredients
  • Non-GMO: Made with non-genetically modified ingredients
  • Organic Ingredients: Contains organic ashwagandha, alkalizing greens blend, coconut water powder, beet root powder, cordyceps mushroom, and guarana seed powder

Our commitment to quality, natural ingredients means you get effective energy support without unnecessary additives, fillers, or artificial ingredients.

Usage & Considerations

Rooted Energy is versatile and can be consumed in several ways depending on your needs:

  • Morning Routine: As a coffee alternative to start your day with balanced energy
  • Mid-Day Energy Slump: Around 2-3 PM when energy naturally dips
  • Pre-Workout: 30 minutes before light to moderate exercise for a gentle energy boost
  • During Breastfeeding: For safe, natural energy support while nursing
  • Busy Workdays: When you need sustained focus and energy
  • Stress Management: During particularly demanding or stressful periods

The moderate 60mg caffeine content means most people can take Rooted Energy even in the afternoon without disrupting sleep, though individual caffeine sensitivity varies. For those who are very sensitive to caffeine, we recommend enjoying it earlier in the day.

Rooted Energy offers several significant advantages over typical commercial energy drinks:

Rooted Energy Typical Energy Drinks
60mg natural caffeine 150-300mg synthetic caffeine
Adaptogens for stress management No adaptogenic support
Organic plant-based ingredients Artificial ingredients and colors
No added sugars 25-40g of sugar per serving
Alkalizing greens blend No nutritional value beyond stimulants
Supports sustainable energy Creates energy spike followed by crash
Supports overall wellness Focused solely on short-term energy
Breastfeeding safe Not recommended during breastfeeding
Micronutrient-rich Micronutrient-poor

Rooted Energy provides clean, balanced energy that supports your body's natural systems rather than overriding them with excessive stimulants and sugar.

Rooted Energy is specifically formulated to be safe during breastfeeding. The moderate caffeine content (60mg) falls well below the 300mg daily limit generally considered safe during lactation. Additionally, ingredients like ashwagandha and organic greens can provide valuable nutritional support during this demanding time.
For pregnancy, we always recommend consulting with your healthcare provider before using any supplement. The moderate caffeine and adaptogenic ingredients may be appropriate for some pregnant women, but individual circumstances vary significantly.

Yes, Rooted Energy is formulated for safe daily use. In fact, the adaptogenic herbs like ashwagandha often work best with consistent daily consumption, as they help the body adapt to stress over time. The moderate caffeine content (60mg) is unlikely to lead to significant tolerance or dependence issues when used as directed.
Many customers incorporate Rooted Energy into their daily morning routine as a coffee replacement or afternoon pick-me-up. The plant-based, nutrient-rich formula supports overall wellness while providing gentle energy enhancement.

Yes, quality and safety are top priorities for all Twenty2 Nutrition products. Rooted Energy undergoes rigorous testing and quality control measures:

  • Manufactured in a Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) certified facility that exceeds FDA standards
  • Third-party tested for purity, potency, and freedom from contaminants
  • Organic ingredients are certified according to strict USDA organic standards
  • Batch-tested to ensure consistency and quality
  • Many of our products are also Certified for Sport under the Informed Sport Program, guaranteeing they're free from banned substances

We're committed to providing the highest quality supplements possible, which is why we invest in comprehensive testing protocols and quality assurance measures.

Beyond physical energy, Rooted Energy supports cognitive function and mental performance through several mechanisms:

  1. Moderate Caffeine (60mg): Enhances alertness, focus, and cognitive processing speed without overstimulation
  2. Ashwagandha: Helps reduce stress and cortisol levels, which can otherwise impair cognitive function and decision-making
  3. Cordyceps Mushroom: Supports oxygen utilization and ATP production, which benefits brain energy metabolism
  4. Organic Greens Blend: Provides antioxidants and phytonutrients that support overall brain health and function
  5. Balanced Energy: By avoiding the spike-and-crash pattern of higher-caffeine products, Rooted Energy supports sustained mental performance throughout the day

Many users report improved focus, clearer thinking, and better stress management when using Rooted Energy regularly.

Absolutely! Rooted Energy is designed to be accessible and beneficial for individuals at all fitness levels:

  • Beginners: Provides gentle energy support without overwhelming those new to fitness or supplements
