HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Wild Himalayan Rhodiola by My Cup of Tee

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

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

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: Himalayan Rhodiola, dried wild. It's a traditional adaptogenic herb — a plant that's believed to help your body manage stress — though the strength of evidence for various claimed uses varies.

There are no other 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: enhanced oxygenation and adaptability.
  • We looked for evidence on: Altitude sickness, Stress, Fatigue, Athletic performance, Depression, Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) — and 3 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Rhodiola is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Altitude sickness (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Rhodiola is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), Athletic performance, Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), Depression, and more.

The evidence file we hold doesn't establish effectiveness for rhodiola on any of the uses tracked in our data. The condition ratings we have for it — altitude sickness, anxiety, heart rhythm, athletic performance, and bladder cancer — all show insufficient reliable evidence.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work; it means rigorous clinical evidence isn't available yet in our system. If you're considering this for a specific reason, your pharmacist can point you toward what the broader research landscape shows.

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, though long-term safety hasn't been well studied. The most common side effects are dizziness and changes in saliva production — either dry mouth or excess salivation — and these are typically mild.

The safety data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding because there isn't enough information to know it's safe in those situations. Talk with your pharmacist or doctor if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing.

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 start, double-check with your pharmacist if you take blood pressure medications (antihypertensives) — rhodiola could lower your pressure further. Also flag diabetes medications, immunosuppressants, or any drug metabolized by your liver's CYP2C9 and P-glycoprotein pathways, including losartan (Cozaar).

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.

Wild Himalayan Rhodiola might appeal to you if you're looking for a traditional stress-support herb and don't take blood pressure, diabetes, or immune-suppressing medications. But if you're on any prescription drugs — especially for blood pressure, diabetes, or immune system control — check with your pharmacist first.

The interactions are real and worth confirming aren't a problem for your specific situation.

FDA Statement of Identity

Dietary Supplement

Formula

Himalayan Rhodiola, from above the snowline of Bhutan and Tibet, is one of the most precious tonic herbs in the world. It cannot be cultivated, and is only collected from the wild, so it is only available in very limited quantities.

Suggested/Recommended/Usage/Directions

Use a tiny amount in your DBG daily for enhanced oxygenation and adaptability.

Directions: Add the amount of botanicals per a recipe, as desired, or as directed by a health practitioner. The proper way of extracting botanicals depends on parts used. Flowers, fruits and leaves can usually be steeped or decocted (boiling over fire) while stems, barks and roots typically require decocting. In a Desktop Botanical Garden Glass Tea & Elixir maker, add 1 part botanical(s) and 5-8 parts water, steep or decoct for 5-20 minutes. You can boil water directly in the elixir maker. Repeat this process for 2nd or 3rd extraction until all active constituents have been extracted.

Formulation

Flavor - Bright floral top notes with heavier sweet and lightly bitter undertones and a dry finish.

Precautions

Manufactured in a facility that processes tree nuts.

Himalayan Rhodiola, Dried, Wild10 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.

Wild Himalayan Rhodiola by My Cup of Tee: Common Questions

Does Wild Himalayan Rhodiola by My Cup of Tee interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Wild Himalayan Rhodiola 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?
Wild Himalayan Rhodiola 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 this safe to take during pregnancy?
No — the safety data advises against it. There isn't enough information to know whether rhodiola is safe in pregnancy, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your specific situation.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
The safety data advises against it. Not enough is known about whether rhodiola passes into breast milk or how it might affect a nursing infant, so discuss it with your pharmacist or doctor.
What side effects does rhodiola cause?
The most common ones are dizziness and changes in saliva production — dry mouth or too much saliva. These are usually mild, and rhodiola is generally well tolerated for short-term use. Long-term safety just hasn't been studied much.
Does this actually work for stress or anxiety?
The evidence we hold shows insufficient reliable data to rate rhodiola for generalized anxiety or other conditions we track. It's a traditional adaptogenic herb, but rigorous clinical evidence in our system isn't established yet.
Why does this interact with so many medications?
Rhodiola affects how your liver breaks down certain drugs and can lower blood pressure and blood sugar on its own. When it slows the liver's metabolism of a medication, drug levels can build up in your body, which may increase side effects or change how well the drug works.
