Our assessment
The evidence shows that the product you are asking about is an herbal supplement, but the data provided here is for the mineral calcium, not for Herb Pharm Rhodiola. Based on the information available, we cannot assess the specific benefits or risks of Rhodiola. Data on the product's ingredients, mechanism, and clinical studies are not available.
How it works
While we cannot speak to Rhodiola, the data provided describes how calcium works. It supports bone mineralization and mineral deposition, and it is involved in neuromuscular relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS].
Safety profile
The FDA received 592,059 total adverse event reports across all supplements, but specific side effect counts for Rhodiola are not available from the provided data. For calcium, the data warns that high intakes might increase the risk of heart disease and prostate cancer. High levels in the blood can cause constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent urination, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease [NIH ODS]. Calcium can also reduce the absorption of medications like bisphosphonates, tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolone antibiotics, levothyroxine, and phenytoin [NIH ODS].
Our recommendation
Because the data provided is for calcium and not for Herb Pharm Rhodiola, we cannot make a specific recommendation for this product. If you are considering taking this supplement, we advise you to consult with a healthcare provider. For calcium, the data suggests monitoring your intake to avoid high levels, and taking calcium separately from the medications listed above [NIH ODS].
