Herb Pharm Rhodiola
Brand: Herb Pharm · Form: LIQUID, SUPPLEMENT FORM [E0165]
Our assessment
The evidence shows that the primary active ingredient in Herb Pharm Rhodiola is not the focus of the available data. The data provided is for the ingredient Calcium, not Rhodiola. Therefore, we cannot make an assessment about Rhodiola's effectiveness or safety based on this information. For a supplement that does not match the ingredient data, our assessment is that the data provided is for a different product.
How it works
Based on the data for Calcium, it works through bone mineralization to support bone density and through neuromuscular relaxation to support muscle relaxation and nerve signaling [NIH ODS]. This mechanism does not apply to Rhodiola. Data for how Rhodiola works is not available.
Safety profile
The FDA has received a total of 592,059 adverse event reports across all supplements [FDA data]. For the ingredient Calcium specifically, side effects can include constipation, nausea, weight loss, extreme tiredness, frequent need to urinate, abnormal heart rhythms, and a high risk of death from heart disease at high levels [NIH ODS]. These side effects are not specific to Rhodiola. Side effects for Rhodiola are not available in the provided data.
Our recommendation
Because the data provided is for Calcium and not for Herb Pharm Rhodiola, we cannot offer a recommendation for this specific product. The data for Rhodiola is not available. You should consult a healthcare provider for guidance on using this supplement, as the evidence here does not support its use or safety profile.
