Rhodiola Rosea

Rhodiola is grown in the mountains of East Siberia. Used for centuries, Rhodiola is given credibility for its helpful effects on reducing fatigue and producing energy. Although there are more than 20 different types of Rhodiola, the only true Rhodiola rosea contains Rosavins--the active compounds of rosavin, rosarin and rosin.

Jarrow’s Rhodiola extract contains 5 percent Rosavins, the highest standardized potency available.
