Forms

Forms and what appears on a label

The conventional specification is 3% rosavins with 1% salidroside, reflecting the ratio in the raw root. Rhodiola is widely adulterated with cheaper Rhodiola species, so botanical identity testing matters more here than in most botanicals.

In our formulas

Dose and how we use it

Featured in Cognitive Vitality and Masculine Vitality.

Best taken on an empty stomach 30 minutes before breakfast or lunch.

Exact amounts per daily portion are declared on every product label and on each product page.

History

Documented traditional use

Rhodiola appears in Scandinavian and Russian folk records, and later in Soviet-era research programmes. Both are historical context, not evidence.

Recorded as history. A record of traditional use is not evidence of an effect and is not a health claim.

Evidence

What research has — and has not — established

Trials in fatigue and mental performance are mostly small, short and conducted with single proprietary extracts. Reviews describe the evidence as preliminary. No EU or GB health claim is authorised.

Safety

Cautions and interactions

Take earlier in the day; some people find it disturbs sleep if taken late. Not for use in pregnancy or breastfeeding. Seek advice if you take antidepressants or have bipolar disorder.

Food supplements are not a substitute for a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Do not exceed the recommended daily portion. Keep out of reach of young children.
