The main active compound of rhodiola, sold as a supplement for stress. Not a medicine.

The main phenylethanoid glycoside of Rhodiola rosea, sold as an adaptogen. Not an approved medicine; the herb holds a European traditional-use monograph for stress, with nothing skeletal in it.

Risks. Very little has been published on it, none of it about growing bone, and nothing on safety in children.
