Pharmacist’s advice

Phytostandard Rhodiola Saffron is intended for temporary, mild emotional strain in adults. It is not suitable as self-treatment for depression, panic attacks, severe anxiety or major mood changes.

Take the tablets in the morning because rhodiola may increase alertness in sensitive users. Do not move the serving to the evening if nervousness or difficulty sleeping develops.

The product is not recommended with antidepressants. This applies to different groups of medicines used for depression and anxiety, and professional advice is required before combining them.

Do not combine several products containing rhodiola, saffron, 5-HTP, SAMe or St John’s wort without checking their complete composition. Similar products listed below are alternatives rather than products intended for simultaneous use.

Regular sleep, physical activity, breaks during work and moderation with caffeine remain important. A supplement cannot remove the underlying cause of continuing stress.

Persistent low mood, withdrawal, loss of interest, hopelessness or impaired daily functioning requires assessment by a doctor or mental-health professional.
