Hair shed follows rapid weight loss.
Rapid weight loss can push more follicles than usual into their resting phase. The shed shows up two to four months later, in the brush and the shower drain.

The evidence
Roots exists because the shedding is real and so is the nutrient side of it. Here is what the studies measured, shown plainly.

Hear why this happens, from the person who built Roots.
The medication is doing its job. The problem is what rapid weight loss asks of your body: follicles pause, and the shed shows up months later. In under a minute, our founder walks through what is actually happening and what Roots is built to do about it.

Why Roots and not another gummy.
Most hair gummies lead with biotin. GLP-1 shedding usually starts with rapid weight loss and the nutrients it uses up, so Roots leads with iron, vitamin D, and zinc.

Take the 2-minute quizWhy I started APLOMB.
“I spent the last ten years as a clinical researcher, a healthcare executive, and a healthcare investor, watching women’s health get overlooked and underinvested in. When GLP-1 telehealth prescriptions exploded, women were being exploited more than ever. I was shocked by how much effort went into profiting off women, and how little went into helping them. That is why I started APLOMB.”

Questions, answered
When should I start?
Most people start when the shed first shows up in the brush or shower. Hair changes are slow, so give it steady weeks. Many find month two is the cleanest place to judge.
How many a day, and how long does a bottle last?
Two gummies daily. One 60-gummy bottle is a 30-day supply.
Will it work with my GLP-1?
Roots is a daily hair-support gummy meant to sit alongside your medication and the rest of your routine.
