Can you take multi vitiamins with rhodiola rosea?
Rodiola Rosea is safe to take along with a multi vitamin with or with out food. From my experience the tincture form is the best way to take rhodiola and is rather easy to make from the dessicated root. multi vitamins generally have a multiple number of minerals along with basic fat/water soluble vitamin; none of which should interact with rhodiola. even if you some how had a multi vitamin with rhodiola extact all ready in it, the small amount present in the multi would not make a dosage taken separately too much.
