Review: This supplement has many beneficial qualities but I think it should be noted that this herb can also cause elevated blood pressure* in some individuals. Just as blood thinning in some is noted this bp elevation should probably also be emphasized especially considering the numbers of persons with borderline hypertension or for those currently taking anti-hypertensive drugs. For those with normal BP this is an excellent supplement. *VITAL CHOICE COMMENT: Rhodiola's action (in cell studies) as an MAO inhibitor indicates that it can raise or lower blood pressure, but this effect in people is speculative. MAO inhibitors can raise blood pressure in people taking central nervous stimulants.
