Questions about Rhodiola Rosea - an ingredient in Supplement-IT

Last week, a caller asked us about Rhodiola Rosea. This ingredient has been pretty big in the nutritional news lately, and thus we have had several calls on the product.

What is it?
Rhodiola Rosea is a plant, found in Europe, Asia, and Artic regions.

Why is it so special?
It has been documented to have effects as an endurance enhancer, mood lifter, and help prevent depression. "It can increase the body’s responses to a variety of physical, chemical and biological stressors. Researchers tout its usefulness in warding off depression, cancer and cardiopulmonary dysfunctions. It can also be used to treat hypertension, irritability, headaches, fatigue and many other sleep disturbances. It may even be helpful in increasing thyroid function, improving memory and learning capabilities, regulating menstruation and infertility and even helping to protect one from environmental toxins." - Source Health.LearningInfo.org

Are there any interactions?
Currently, there are no known documented interactions with Rhodiola Rosea. However, it has been recommended that pregnant or breast-feeding mothers do not take it, as extensive studies in this area have not been finished. Also, because Rhodiola Rosea is a stimulant, it has been said that bi-polar or manic-depressive patients should not take it.

What are the side-effects, if any of using Rhodiola Rosea?
Currently, the only known side-effects are irritability and insomnia, but this has been seen only when a dosage of 1500mg are taken per day.
Even if you took 4 capsules of Supplement-IT per day, you wouldn't come close to that exorbant dosage of Rhodiola Rosea.

Tell me more about Supplement-IT and Rhodiola Rosea.
The form of Rhodiola Rosea used in Supplement-IT is a powder, not the liquid extract.
There are no documented interactions, but it is recommended that manic-depressive patients, or nursing/pregnant mothers, not take Rhodiola Rosea.
The amount of Rhodiola Rosea within Supplement-IT is low enough, that even if you took 4 capsules a day (twice the recommended serving), you should not have the side-effects mentioned above.
