I personally have used a standardized Rhodiola Rosea product for a period of time and found it to be quite beneficial. This herb is used for a variety of different reasons because of its general tonic effect on the body. It appears that the herb does have an effect on mood and is definitely a logical combination with St. John’s Wort as the mechanisms of action should work well together. It has performed well in human studies and appears to support the body under a number of stressful situations. This is also supported by its traditional use in Eastern Europe, Scandinavia and Asia. Please make sure that you allow a month or so for to see the full response from the herb.
