How much is usually taken?
Rhodiola has a more stimulating effect at lower amounts, and a more sedating effect at higher amounts. In medical treatment, the usual amounts taken are 200 to 600 mg per day of a standardized extract to at least 3% rosavins and 0.8 to 1% salidroside.3 The nonstandardized amount would be 1 gram three times daily of the root, the amount for the alcoholic extract (40% alcohol) is 5 to 40 drops two to three times per day (with a weight to volume ratio of 1:1 to 1:5 ). Rhodiola is usually taken before meals.

Are there any side effects or interactions?
The safety of rhodiola has not been firmly established. However, rhodiola has a history of centuries of folk use and has been the subject of many clinical studies. No side effects or interactions have been reported. Animal studies indicate that rhodiola has a low level of toxicity, and that there is a huge margin of safety at the typical recommended intake amounts.4 There is no information available about the safety of rhodiola in pregnancy or lactation.

At the time of writing, there were no well-known drug interactions with Rhodiola.

I agree. RR is actually better for me anyway taken at smaller dose . I take 1 large capsule packed tightly and thought I was crazy but did /still do notice energy from it great pre workout supplement.

Trick is to much you feel to relaxed not what you want pre workout if thats what you take it for. When I took 2 capsules felt like taking it easy at 1 capsule an hour later cant wait to get to gym.

For some one packed large capsule might be to much or not enough. Its underrated stuff . Nasty tasting but I cap it.
