Thoughtfully harvested

Our Rhodiola is extracted from the plant’s root using purified water and food-grade ethanol, to avoid harsh solvents. The extraction output is then concentrated, dried, and analyzed. The powder is then shipped to the United States, where it is tested by a third party and encapsulated.
