Can anyone chime in on the heavy metal results. They seem to be higher than average from other Rhodiola brands.

I'm not familiar with typical rhodiola extracts, but this batch meets USP<232> standards for orally dosed drug substances, assuming that the dose is under 10g/d.   (FWIW)

The heavy metals are low if the levels mentioned are correct. Nothing to worry about.

 

Rhodiola rosea cultivated in Spain ? That's unusual...

It couldn't be cultivated in Spain though because Rhodiola isnt native to that area. The product states that it is from Siberia the same place where the original Rhodiola which was used in the trials is but who knows.

Rhodiola can be cultivated in Spain as in most European mountains from 900 (sometimes even lower) to 3000mt of altitude, maybe Spain doesn't offer as many ideal cultivating places as other parts of Europe but it doesn't mean it can't be grown there too.

 

In facts it is native of the Pyrenees too.

 

The fact that traditionally the use in medicine has been more popular in the eastern countries doesn't mean it doesn't grow anywhere else.

Well the Perfect Rhodiola Rosea brand that I purchased says on their website that the root sourced directly from the Siberian Mountains. So are they lying?

I don't see why they should lie, my point is just that rhodiola is not native or grows only in Siberia, that's all.
