Re: Rhodiola Rosea (aka Goldenroot)
Hi Jeff,
Interesting reading, but I have some reservations about using this for dogs, or humans for that matter.
One, the studies done for this paper were conducted in 1986 and 2002 but I find no mention of any of the ingredients, the Rhodiola Rosea root itself or Goldenroot in my books, including the 2003 edition of the Manual of Natural Veterinary Medicine, Science and Tradition by Susan G. Wynne, DVM and Steve Marsden, DVM.
For another the studies were presumably conducted on humans, not dogs. Even if what the paper says holds true for us, that does not mean it will carry over to any other species. Canine and human physiology are vastly different.
And, I'm just naturally suspect of products like this hawked on the web. I would need to see a whole lot more information from some trusted sources before I would even consider giving this to Squirt. But that's just me.
Why do you consider this to be a homeopathic treatment?
