HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Rhodiola Extract Powder 200 mg by BulkSupplements.com

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.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: Rhodiola Root Extract at 200 mg per serving. Rhodiola is a plant root that's been used traditionally to support resilience during stress.

The product has no inactive ingredients listed.

Does it work?

Not established
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Rhodiola's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: stress, fatigue, mental performance support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Stress, Fatigue, Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), Depression, cognitive function, energy — and 2 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Rhodiola is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Rhodiola is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), Depression, Fatigue, Stress.

The evidence we hold doesn't establish that rhodiola works reliably for the uses listed in our data — altitude sickness, anxiety, heart arrhythmias, athletic performance, and bladder cancer all have insufficient evidence. That doesn't mean it won't help you; it means the studies available aren't strong enough yet for us to rate it either way.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Rhodiola

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Rhodiola is generally well tolerated for short-term use, but how safe it is over the long haul hasn't been well studied. The most common side effects in trials are dizziness and changes in saliva production — either dry mouth or too much saliva.

The safety data advises against using it during pregnancy or while breastfeeding because there isn't enough information to know it's safe.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Rhodiola

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Rhodiola.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: immunosuppressants / transplant drugs; diabetes medications.
  • For scale: 1,272 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before you take this, double-check your blood pressure medications (antihypertensives), diabetes drugs, and immune-suppressing medications — all moderate concerns. Also check if you take losartan (Cozaar) specifically, as rhodiola notably slows how your body clears it.

If you're on any CYP2C9 or P-glycoprotein substrate drugs, those are moderate concerns too; your pharmacist can tell you if yours fall into those categories.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Rhodiola might appeal to you if you're looking for a stress-support supplement, but you need to check it against your medications first — especially if you take blood pressure drugs, diabetes medications, or immunosuppressants. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor before starting, and let them know if you're pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

Rhodiola Root Extract10 drug types · 1,271 drugs

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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Immunosuppressants

Theoretically, rhodiola use might interfere with immunosuppressive therapy.
In vitro and animal research show that rhodiola has immunostimulatory effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
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.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
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.

Does Rhodiola Extract Powder 200 mg by BulkSupplements.com interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Rhodiola Extract Powder 200 mg has a known interaction with 1,271 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Rhodiola Extract Powder 200 mg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Is rhodiola safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
No — the safety data advises against it. There isn't enough information to know whether it's safe for you or your baby, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice if you're pregnant, trying to conceive, or nursing.
What side effects might I experience?
Most commonly, dizziness and changes in how much saliva your mouth produces — either dry mouth or too much. Orally, rhodiola seems to be well tolerated overall, but these are the effects people have reported in trials.
How long is it safe to take this?
It's generally well tolerated for short-term use, but we don't have good data on long-term safety. If you're thinking of taking it for weeks or months, check in with your pharmacist.
Does rhodiola actually work for stress or anxiety?
The evidence we have isn't strong enough to say reliably whether it works for anxiety or the other conditions listed. There may be research out there, but the studies available to us don't give us a clear answer yet.
