About Rhodiola Rosea

Rhodiola Rosea is an adaptogenic root that grows in cold, high-altitude regions of Europe and Asia. It's traditionally used to help the body handle physical and mental stress, and is often reached for during periods of fatigue.

Typical dosage: Common doses range from 200mg to 600mg/day, standardized to rosavins and salidrosides. Most research uses a roughly 3:1 rosavin-to-salidroside ratio — worth checking the label for.

Things to know: Some people find Rhodiola mildly stimulating, so it's often taken earlier in the day. Check with a doctor if you're on medication for mood or blood pressure.
