Larry, take Rhodiola in the AM. I've taken it for many years. The brand that someone is buying from Europe is probably Arctic Root, by Swedish Herbal Institute. It's a good product but loaded with stuff I didn't want to ingest, such as chemicals and preservatives. Rather than buy it from Europe, you ought to buy it from Arizona at proactivebio.com -- they were the Arctic Root importers but now have a product called Mind Body & Spirit which is the premium Rhodiola in the USA. It has substantially more of the active ingredients than most - you can feel it. I've noticed that it has none of the rough edges that keep someone like Larry from sleeping. Cheap rhodiola just gives you a headache. J.
