It is a physical stress adaptogen. Depending on the dosage, it can

have different results, says my dr. He believes 500 mg can increase

energy but 1000 mg or more can have a calming effect.

I tried taking 1000 mg before bed and I was awake a lot! So I take

it mid day.

At Vitacost (great prices on vitamins and such), here is the write up

under the Jarrow brand:

Russian Root. Standardized Extract 5% vins (3% minimum vin)

Physical Stress Adaptogen. Enhances Energy and Reduces Fatigue Jarrow

Formulas® Rhodiola extract is made from a gold-colored root found in

the mountainous regions of Eastern Siberia. Rhodiola is an adaptogen

that has been used for centuries and validated for its beneficial

effects on energy production and reduction of fatigue.

Though there are greater than 20 species of Rhodiola, only authentic

Rhodiola rosea contains vins. The term vins refers to the

three active compounds rosavin, rosin, and rosarin; salidroside is

not a useful marker for Rhodiola rosea.

Jarrow Formulas® Rhodiola extract is standardized to contain a

minimum of 5% vins, the highest potency available.

Hope that helps,

Tina
