"The name of this herb rolls off your tongue just like it is spelled: Row-dee-oh-la. Traditionally, rhodiola was used to improve work tolerance at high altitudes, and research suggests that it may increase oxygen delivery to tissues, especially the heart. It’s a favorite adaptogen of Russian athletes and workers for decreasing fatigue, increasing alertness, and improving memory."
"Though it is mildly stimulating, natural sleep is restored in the face of stress. Rhodiola offers anti-depressant properties, providing a different option than St. John’s wort (known for interactions with medications)."
"Rhodiola crenulata root extract (RCE) has been shown to possess protective activities against hypoxia both in vitro and in vivo. "
"Rhodiola cannot be used by pregnant women and during lactation."
17 dollars here. Fullscript is 13. FYI. Good info though
"Safety considerations: Though this is considered a safe herb, since Rhodiola root is mildly stimulating, there is a possibility of restlessness, insomnia or mild anxiety. * If you are using pharmaceuticals, please consult with your health care provider before taking herbs. "
