I have taken it on occasion with no problems. I don't think I ever felt any different one way or another. Medicine Hunter is a big fan of that (you may know this already). Just Google him if you haven't already.

Rhodiola is completely safe to use while drinking kava, from my experience. The only concern with Rhodoila would be alcohol related, because it can block enzymes necessary to break down the booze, in another words it may hit harder. I take Rhodiola daily and enjoy the lift in spirit it gives me. No worries in that regard, if anything Rhodiola protects the liver.

as for ayurvedic Ourobos,i just came back from a year in India,been feeding myself everything,the only ones that seemed to have any effects were the Himalaya brand,and even then only some 
It's far from middle of nowhere India ayurvedic medicine,but its the same principles and seems to work.

Can we get a confirmation from @infraredz that this is a safe combo? (The soon to be kava doctor)

A good summary of some of the contemporary research on rosenrot (as it is known as in Scandinavia):

The effects are mild, but perhaps the putative MAO effects could be an issue with kava. Possibly its anxiolytic effect could synergize with that of kava?

A lot of the reviews I've been reading online report very strong effects

Ok, I have a jar of Rhodiola Rosea. It has 3% Rosavins. How many do I take and when do the Hallucinations begin. Just kidding, I never got much out of it. What kind of effects should I be looking for and at what dose? I know Medicine Hunter is a fan of this Botanical. He takes it when he goes Surfing to fortify himself.

Seems like I'm reviving an old post. Was looking for useful information about Rhodiola. Yea, been using RR just to help boost my mood and it does. It kinda set your mood for the day. I feel more energetic and surprisingly happy. 
For some reason, it does keep me that active that I stay up late until 4am which BTW doesn't give me enough sleep but once I get up the following day I still feel energetic (not sure if this is just a placebo effect) but yea, taking it with kava seems to be helping especially in stressful situations. I take 2 RR caps in the morning and at night with food. I used the ones from nature's bounty but they're not as effective as the ones from natural goal an now.

I reccomend you get it from either mountain rose Herbs or meridian..plain root powder.. it works best that way.. all herbs work best in raw form. If your getting stuck awake I would just lower the dose a tiny bit. Or maybe switch to something like gymnostemma. . Or ashwaganda which provide the energy and mood but no over stimulation

I haven't tried these herbs but have used a lot of Mountain Roses dried herbs and they are always very fresh. I just wouldn't trust the kava.

The kava is 15 % tuedi as far as I know it now. I've contacted them and I haven't gotten a *second* response as to whether they fixed it.
