When should I take it? Physicians recommend taking it twice a day – both early in the morning and before 3:00 p.m. in the afternoon to maximize its benefits. Taking it after 3:00 p.m. is not generally a good idea for most people since it can increase energy levels and may keep you from falling asleep at your normal time.
Where can I find it? You can find Rhodiola rosea in stores across the country, but beware! While it is available various places and from a multitude of vendors, all manufacturers are not created equal!
