HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Performance Rhodiola Complete 500 mg by Nutra Sport
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Low disclosure
Performance Rhodiola Complete 500 mg contains 3 active ingredients, all forms of rhodiola — organic rhodiola, a Rhodiola Complete Blend, and rhodiola extract. Rhodiola is an adaptogenic herb traditionally used to support stress response and energy.
The product also contains inactive ingredients including a vegan capsule, cellulose, organic lithothamnium, silica, and calcium stearate.
Does it work?
Not established
The evidence for rhodiola isn't established in our data. Studies have looked at it for altitude sickness, anxiety, heart rhythm abnormalities, athletic performance, and even bladder cancer, but we don't have reliable evidence to rate how well it works for any of these uses yet.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Rhodiola is generally well tolerated for short-term use, but long-term safety hasn't been well studied. The most common side effects are dizziness and changes in saliva production (either dry mouth or excessive drooling).
The safety data advises against using rhodiola during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or nursing.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take any blood pressure medications, diabetes drugs, losartan (Cozaar) specifically, immunosuppressants, or any drug your pharmacist tells you is broken down by your liver's CYP2C9, CYP1A2, or CYP3A4 systems. Rhodiola can change how these drugs work in your body.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This product is for anyone interested in rhodiola's traditional adaptogenic properties, but it's not right for you if you take blood pressure medications, diabetes drugs, immunosuppressants, or certain other prescription medications — especially losartan. Talk it over with your doctor or pharmacist before starting, and bring a list of everything you take.

Performance Rhodiola Complete 500 mg by Nutra Sport Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Performance Rhodiola Complete 500 mg by Nutra Sport does interact with medications, primarily through its rhodiola content.
The most serious concern is with blood pressure medications (antihypertensive drugs). Rhodiola can lower blood pressure on its own, and combining it with drugs that do the same may push your pressure too low.
Altogether, these interactions span 1,272 individual medications.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Rhodiola also affects how your liver metabolizes several classes of drugs. It can slow the breakdown of medications processed by your liver's CYP2C9 enzyme system — including losartan (Cozaar), a common blood pressure drug that showed a 21% reduction in metabolism in a clinical study.
It may similarly affect drugs broken down by P-glycoprotein transporters and potentially interfere with blood sugar control if you take diabetes medications (a risk of low blood sugar). Additionally, rhodiola has immune-stimulating properties and theoretically might work against immunosuppressant drugs if you take them after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune condition.
Rhodiola also affects drugs metabolized by the CYP1A2 and CYP3A4 enzyme systems, though clinical evidence suggests the effect may be less predictable with these pathways. Because the strength of these interactions depends on the specific rhodiola product and dose, check your exact medications with the search tool on this page before starting.

For each ingredient in Performance Rhodiola Complete 500 mg with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Rhodiola Complete Blend
Antidiabetes Drugs
Theoretically, taking rhodiola with antidiabetes drugs might increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
In vitro and animal research shows that rhodiola extract can decrease blood glucose due to alpha-glucosidase activity.
Antihypertensive Drugs
Theoretically, taking rhodiola with antihypertensive drugs might increase the risk of hypotension.
In vitro and animal research shows that rhodiola extract inhibits angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and might lower blood pressure.
Cytochrome P450 2C9 (Cyp2C9) Substrates
Theoretically, rhodiola might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP2C9.
In vitro research shows that rhodiola inhibits CYP2C9. This effect is highly variable and appears to be dependent on the rhodiola product studied. Also, a clinical study in healthy young males found that taking rhodiola extract 290 mg daily for 14 days reduces the metabolism of losartan, a CYP2C9 substrate, by 21% after 4 hours.
Immunosuppressants
Theoretically, rhodiola use might interfere with immunosuppressive therapy.
In vitro and animal research show that rhodiola has immunostimulatory effects.
Losartan (Cozaar)
Rhodiola might increase the levels and adverse effects of losartan.
A clinical study in healthy young males found that taking rhodiola extract 290 mg daily for 14 days reduces the metabolism of losartan, a CYP2C9 substrate, by 21% after 4 hours.
P-Glycoprotein Substrates
Theoretically, rhodiola might increase levels of P-glycoprotein substrates.
In vitro research shows that rhodiola inhibits P-glycoprotein. Theoretically, using rhodiola with P-glycoprotein substrates might increase drug levels and potentially increase the risk of adverse effects.
Antidepressant Drugs
Theoretically, rhodiola might increase the risk of adverse effects when taken with antidepressants.
A review of adverse event reports in Poland identified cases of tachyarrhythmias, myalgia, arthralgia, gum pain, restless leg syndrome, swallowing disorders, and changes in consciousness when rhodiola was taken in combination with paroxetine, escitalopram, fluoxetine, sertraline, trazodone, and/or duloxetine.
Cns Depressants
Theoretically, rhodiola might increase the risk of adverse effects when taken with CNS depressants.
A review of adverse event reports in Poland identified cases of excessive sedation, myoclonus, hypotension, and hallucinations when rhodiola was taken with haloperidol, diazepam, or alprazolam.
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1A2) Substrates
Theoretically, rhodiola might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP1A2.
In vitro research shows that rhodiola inhibits CYP1A2. This effect is highly variable and appears to be dependent on the rhodiola product studied. However, a clinical study in healthy young males found that taking rhodiola extract 290 mg daily for 14 days does not inhibit the metabolism of caffeine, a CYP1A2 substrate.
Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Cyp3A4) Substrates
Theoretically, rhodiola might increase levels of drugs metabolized by CYP3A4.
In vitro research shows that rhodiola inhibits CYP3A4. This effect is highly variable and appears to be dependent on the rhodiola product studied. However, a clinical study in healthy young males found that taking rhodiola extract 290 mg daily for 14 days does not inhibit the metabolism of midazolam, a CYP3A4 substrate.
