Great book about an important herb - I liked this book, but it is now a few years out of date. All the health information is correct, but I couldn't find my brand of Rhodiola in there (the one I take was actually recommended by doctors who trained under this Dr. Brown, it is called Mind Body & Spirit). Dr. Brown's book was very helpful for me with how to take the herb, and fine tuning my dosage requirements, etc. But I think they need to update the "sources" book, and say something about why there are so many shoddy brands of cheap Rhodiola (all with high MG counts) on the market. People need to know that it isn't by high mg counts that you get the results.

Great Book But Missing Some Supplier Recommendations - This book has a wonderful history of the plant and it was a terrific read. It made me want to go out and buy some Rhodiola to give it a try! The best thing you can say about a book is that it inspires you to take action of some kind.
I was very surprised that the book doesn't mention the Swedish Herbal institute brand, as this is the world's best selling and the only product in the Rhodiola category that has science behind it. (Evidently those Swedes put everything through human, double-blind placebo controlled trials in typical Swedish precision fashion). This book must have been written before this brand was in the USA.
Now that I've tried every single brand of Rhodiola, I wish that the authors had mentioned that there are great differences between them. I've found only two brands that are consistently good, and settled in on the Swedish Herbal Institute brand as my daily preference.
I loved the way that the authors separate this book into sections based on the health condition, so that you can browse the book and get good suggestions based upon whatever you have going on. All in all, a great read.
