Evidence summary.

Mechanism: Rhodiola rosea extracts are studied for fatigue perception, stress response, and exercise performance markers.
Human Evidence: Systematic reviews find mixed but promising performance signals. WRAITH treats rhodiola as conditional: extract quality and dose determine whether it belongs.
Dosing Context: Evidence often uses standardized extracts, commonly referencing rosavins and salidroside. A generic root powder dose is not interchangeable.
Form Standard: Extract standardization should be disclosed when rhodiola is used.
Limitations: The evidence is heterogeneous and not a license for exaggerated adrenal or hormone claims.
