Frequently asked questions
What does Rhodiola rosea mean on a label?
It is the botanical name, with Rhodiola as the genus and rosea as the species. The genus has several species, so the botanical name shows which plant is in the product. Look for it in the ingredient list, which also names the part used.
How do rhodiola root and rhodiola extract compare?
A root product is made from the root itself, while an extract is a concentrate made from it, so a 400 mg root capsule and a 250 mg extract capsule are not equivalent amounts. Compare the preparation named, the amount in a serving and any ratio or marker percentage the label states, instead of the milligrams on the front.
What does a percentage next to a rhodiola extract refer to?
It describes the content of named marker compounds in the extract, not a share of the whole capsule, and the label names the compounds. Two extracts are comparable only when they state the same compounds in the same way. The milligrams of extract in each capsule are a separate figure.
