From Horizon Herbs, a company that I am quite fond of...
Rhodiola, Alps (Rhodiola rosea) seed
Sedum rhodiola (Golden Root, Rose Root)
Family: Crassulacea
Perennial, fleshy succulent. Rhodiola rosea is quite variable depending on origin. This seed originated from Austria and Germany, and the photo is characteristic of its form. The dried roots are rose-scented, loaded with immune stimulating glycosides (e.g. rosavin, rosin). Uplifting adaptogenic properties similar to Eleuthero Ginseng. Rhodiola does best at elevation and in the North.

it's one of the supplements i use, it does give you an energy boost, you stop feeling it if you use it for too long at a time. :)

Cool, thanks guys :D
No worries :D
It doesn't work as well if you take it everday, maybe just take it when tired, ill or hungover.
One day i got tempted to double drop - big mistake, i got really fidgety and irritable.
