What Rhodiola Rosea is
Rhodiola is an arctic adaptogen standardized to rosavins and salidroside. Unlike sedating adaptogens, it leans activating, which suits daytime fatigue and burnout better than sleep.
The honest bottom line
The daytime, anti-fatigue adaptogen. 200–400 mg standardized in the morning for stress-driven tiredness and burnout; keep it away from bedtime.
