What is Rhodiola Powder?

Rhodiola Powder is the finely ground dried root of Rhodiola rosea, the cold-climate succulent in the stonecrop family (Crassulaceae) also known as Arctic Root, Golden Root, and Roseroot. The powder is the same material as our cut-and-sifted root, milled for encapsulation and for blending into liquids.

About the plant

The plant grows in the cold mountains and Arctic zones of Russia (Siberia), Scandinavia, Alaska, Mongolia, and Tibet. When the root is cut it releases a distinctive rose-like aroma, which gives the species its name rosea and the common name Roseroot. Rhodiola has a documented history in Russian, Scandinavian, and Mongolian folk herbalism, and its rosavins and salidroside are the focus of modern interest.
