Source matters
Did you know that Rhodiola rosea is endangered across much of Europe due to centuries of wild harvesting for its health benefits? In the wild, plants grow in extreme conditions. The harsh climate results in slow growth, with plants requiring decades to gain size. It is common for wild plants to be over 100 years in age. Cultivated Rhodiola rosea in Alberta’s climate, reach optimal size and rosavin levels to be harvested in five years.
