> Just a quick warning for any one getting ready to try this supplement. I did a Web MD search and this is one of those herbs that can act as an estrogen replacement.

The Web MD article is erroneous. That doctor doesn't write any longer for Web MD and she was quoting work that was done years ago by a Dr. Patricia Egan at the University of Pittsburgh. Egan said that Rhodiola was estrogenic but in reality she couldn't get her work published in a peer-reviewed journal, and so legitmately there is no way to claim that. Millions of women take Rhodiola daily with no impact on estrogen. I know this because my wife has taken it for nearly a decade and our doctor directly refuted that comment about estrogenic behavior of the herb.
