RootSide™ contains 11 plant-based extracts working in three phases to address the gut dysbiosis driving your child's ADHD symptoms - all in a kid-friendly raspberry liquid base.
PHASE 1 — THE CLEAR (the disruptors hiding behind biofilm)
- WORMWOOD (Thujone-Free)
The stuff your grandmother's pediatrician used to reach for. Centuries of moms have used it for what's quietly disrupting their kid's gut. Thujone-free — the version actually safe for children. - BLACK WALNUT HULL
This one's about Candida — the yeast linked to brain fog, irritability, and wild mood swings most parents write off as "just how my kid is." Bonus: also handles parasite larvae that can co-exist with Candida overgrowth. - CLOVE
Cleans up what other ingredients leave behind. One of the most powerful antioxidants in nature. Protects the cells in your kid's gut that produce 90% of their serotonin. - PAU D'ARCO BARK
Targets microscopic disruptors that standard pediatric tests miss 70% of the time. If your kid's "negative" lab result still left every symptom, this is why. - OREGANO LEAF (clinical-grade carvacrol)
Bacteria build a slimy shield in the gut — like plaque on teeth, but inside. Oregano is one of the few things that breaks through it. Standardized for therapeutic potency. - THYME LEAF
Works hand-in-hand with oregano on the bacteria layer. Together they reach the harmful bacteria neither one alone can fully cover. Thyme also protects the cells in your kid's gut that produce 90% of their body's serotonin.
PHASE 2 — THE REPAIR (the wall + the digestive comfort)
- LICORICE ROOT (DGL extract)
Years of inflammation leave the gut wall thin and leaky. Licorice rebuilds the lining the way nature designed it. Most kids with chronic stomach aches feel relief in 2 weeks. DGL extract — safe for children. - ALOE VERA (Aloin-Free)
A biological patch for the gut. Seals the gaps where toxins have been leaking through. Also feeds the good bacteria that produce the building blocks of serotonin. Aloin-free — gentle for kids. - FENNEL SEED
Your grandmother knew about this one. Centuries of use for the gas, bloating, and stomach aches kids never want to talk about. Bonus: helps the body absorb zinc and iron from food. - ANISE SEED
Works synergistically with fennel to ease digestive
PHASE 3 — THE FEED (the nutrients the brain has been missing)
- PUMPKIN SEED
The one that finally feeds the brain. The only natural source of zinc, magnesium, and tryptophan in the same plant — the three nutrients ADHD kids are most consistently deficient in (72-95% of them, according to clinical studies). These are the raw materials your child's brain uses to produce serotonin and dopamine. The chemicals that control focus, calm, sleep, and mood.
BASE
Vegetable Glycerin, Natural Raspberry Flavor, Bitter Blocker, Purified Water.
WHY LIQUID, NOT CAPSULES
Children with damaged guts can't break down capsules properly - the active ingredients pass straight through. Liquid bypasses that entirely and reaches the gut wall where it's actually needed.
WHY THE ORDER MATTERS
These ingredients work in sequence - first clearing the disruptors hiding behind biofilm, then repairing the damage they left behind, then finally letting the brain absorb the nutrients it's been starving for.
That's why most ADHD supplements fail. They give your child Phase 3 without Phase 1 or Phase 2. Zinc and magnesium thrown at a damaged, blocked gut that can't absorb them.
RootSide does all three. In the right order. In one dropper a day.
Your child's gut is supposed to produce 90% of the body's serotonin - the chemical that controls focus, mood, sleep, and impulse. But over years of dietary toxins, antibiotics, inflammation, and parasite exposure, the gut becomes disrupted. Bacteria, yeast, and parasites embed in the gut wall. The lining becomes leaky. The brain runs on empty.
RootSide
works in 3 phases:
Phase 1 (Days 1–14):Clear. Wormwood, Black Walnut Hull, Clove, and Pau d'Arco target parasites at every stage — adults, larvae, and eggs. Oregano and Thyme break the biofilm where bad bacteria and yeast hide. The disruptors stealing your child's brain chemicals start being cleared.
Phase 2 (Weeks 2–4):Repair. With the gut clear, Licorice Root and Aloe Vera rebuild the damaged intestinal lining. Fennel and Anise soothe the digestive symptoms your child has been suffering from silently. The wall finally seals — so toxins stop leaking into the bloodstream and triggering inflammation that reaches the brain.
Phase 3 (Month 2+):Feed. With the gut cleared and repaired, Pumpkin Seed delivers zinc, magnesium, and tryptophan — the three nutrients 72-95% of ADHD children are deficient in. For the first time, the brain finally receives what it's been starving for.
Most ADHD supplements skip Phase 1 and Phase 2 - they only do Phase 3. That's why nothing changes. We start where the problem actually is.

Yes, all ingredients are natural and well-researched.
- You can give RootSide alongside most pediatric vitamins, probiotics, and general supplements without issues.
- If your child takes magnesium, omega-3, or zinc separately: You may want to taper them off after 4-6 weeks on RootSide — Pumpkin Seed already delivers these in their natural bioavailable form, so adding more on top can be redundant.
- If your child has a diagnosed medical condition: Check with your pediatrician first.
- If you're unsure: Email us at support@RootSide.com and we'll help you figure it out.
For many parents, yes - and increasingly so.
In our 412-child observational study, 83% of parents canceled or postponed their child's stimulant medication appointment within 8 weeks of starting RootSide. Many specifically chose RootSide instead of starting Adderall, Ritalin, Concerta, or Vyvanse - and the results have been everything stimulants were promising, without the appetite loss, the sleep disruption, the mood crashes, or the growth suppression that comes with them.
If your child is currently on ADHD medication, you can safely give RootSide
alongside the prescription. RootSide is 100% natural, plant-based, and contains no compounds that interact with stimulants — many parents start exactly this way.
Then, as the gut clears and the brain finally gets what it needs to produce serotonin and dopamine on its own, they begin the conversation with their pediatrician about gradually reducing the prescription. Many end up off the medication entirely - for the first time in years.
Both paths work. The reason is simple: stimulants force a starving brain to work harder with chemicals it doesn't have. RootSide restores the chemicals at the source - addressing the gut dysbiosis driving the symptoms instead of medicating around them.

Why Nothing's Been Working (New Studies)
It's not that you're a bad mom. It's not that your child is broken.
Most kids labeled "ADHD" don't have a brain disorder.They have a gut so damaged that the brain chemicals controlling focus, mood, and impulse never reach the brain in the first place. Every checklist sees the symptom.No checklist sees the cause.
When Your Child's Gut Is Healthy
Serotonin and dopamine are produced in the gut, absorbed through a sealed intestinal wall, and reach the brain. Your child focuses, regulates, sleeps, and feels calm - the way they're supposed to.
When Your Child's Gut Is Damaged
Bacteria, yeast, and parasites embed in the gut wall behind a protective biofilm. They steal serotonin and dopamine before either reaches the brain. The wall becomes leaky. Minerals stop absorbing. The brain runs on empty. Your child can't focus. Can't sit still. Can't sleep. Can't stop craving sugar. And every checklist in pediatric medicine labels it ADHD.
Doctors call this gut dysbiosis - a measurable imbalance of the microbiome that's now recognized as the documented root cause behind most cases of childhood ADHD.
What the science actually says
The Result
Every supplement you've already given your child went into a damaged pipeline. The omega-3. The magnesium. The probiotics. The pediatric vitamins. The elimination diet. All trying to feed the brain. Nobody cleared the gut first. Nobody repaired the wall.
Every dose of stimulant medication forces an already starving brain to work harder with chemicals it doesn't have. The pill doesn't add serotonin. It just whips the brain to use what little is left, faster, until there's nothing left to whip. Then they raise the dose. Then it stops working again. The cycle never ends.
The problem was never your child's brain. It was the damaged gut nobody was looking at.
"ADHD may develop from a multidimensional pathophysiology, including the bidirectional signaling pathways between the brain and the gut."
– Dr. Liang-Jen Wang, MD - Child Psychiatrist

THE STORY BEHIND ROOTSIDE
Hi, I'm Sarah.
My son Liam was diagnosed with ADHD at 5. Four years of medication adjustments, therapy, elimination diets. Four years of school calls, evenings that fell apart, meals that ended in two bites. Every doctor said the same thing: it's the ADHD.
I kept thinking: this doesn't feel like just ADHD.
Then I found the research. 90% of serotonin - the chemical that controls focus, mood, and sleep - is made in the gut, not the brain. And in kids showing the symptoms my son was showing, the gut is almost always damaged. Nobody had connected the dark circles, the weight, the 2 AM sugar runs to something happening in his stomach.
I worked with clinical herbalists and functional medicine pediatricians to build a formula that addresses the full gut-brain axis - not just one piece of it. Eleven plants. Three phases. Designed to be safe alongside any ADHD medication, or used on its own.
If you're reading this, you already know what this life looks like. I just hope Rootside gives your child what it gave mine.
— Sarah, mom of Liam (age 9) and founder of Rootside
