How It Fits Into a Protocol
Rhodiola pairs with Gabatone Active or TravaCor for calming, and with Magnesium Glycinate at night. Thorne Rhodiola is the other rhodiola in the store if you prefer that bottle. Anyone taking medication should check with their prescribing provider before adding this, and Pure notes rhodiola may be contraindicated with adrenergic-blocking and antiarrhythmic medications.
