Rhodiola rosea looks a lot like its Rocky Mtn relative, Queens Crown, sometimes called Roseroot, found at high altitude. In addition to its successful use as a sports tonic, it's also used as a major antidepressant thereby overiding any need for Prozac and its kin. Remember this: depression is often a consequence of deficient serotonin levels. Rhodiola contains rosavin and salidroside which enhance transport of tryptophan and 5-HTP, serotonin precursors. Rhodiola can increase serotonin levels by 30%. So there. Slowly wean yrself off the evil pharmaceuticals.
