Säkerhet limits and interactions

When a product exceeds the UL or contains an ingredient with clinically significant interactions, a "Review advised" flag appears on its product page and links here.

Known drug interactions
Theoretical pharmacodynamic interactions with serotonergic drugs, MAOIs, stimulants, anticoagulants, and antihypertensives; may affect CYP-metabolized medications — clinical caution advised with polypharmacy.
Säkerhet note
No formal UL. Rhodiola has a very low toxicity in animal studies (rat LD50 ≈23.4 g/kg equivalent to ~235 g in a 70 kg person) and is considered safe at typical clinical doses (200-680 mg/day); using more than 600 mg in one day is generally discouraged as unsafe/ineffective, and long-term use beyond 12 weeks is not well studied.

  • 2025-04 Regelverk single source
    EU Court sharpens the bar for botanical health claims
    A Court of Justice of the European Union ruling in april 2025 further tightened the requirements for how botanical ingredients (herbs, plant extracts) can be marketed with health claims in the EU, effectively removing much of the flexibility of the on-hold list.
  • 2024-06 Regelverk confirmed
    EU report identifies 117 supplement substances as potential health risks
    The HoA Working Group on Food Supplements (26 European countries) published its first report evaluating 117 substances used in food supplements. Of these, 65 were assessed as likely novel foods, 6 were already regulated, 34 had insufficient data, and 12 were prioritized for Article 8 restriction under Regulation (EC) No 1925/2006. The 12 priority substances include ashwagandha, curcumin, melatonin, piperine, St. John's wort, coumarin, p-synephrine, maca, holy basil, Melaleuca, black cohosh, and L-tryptophan. The report drew on 1,500 RASFF alerts reviewed between 2017 and mid-2022.
  • 2006-12 Regelverk confirmed
    EU Health Claims Regulation adopted
    Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 laid down harmonised rules for nutrition and health claims made on foods, including supplements. Only claims listed in the EU Register of authorised claims can be used. Rejected botanical claims are held in a separate on-hold list.
  • 1997 Regelverk confirmed
    EU introduces the Novel Food Regulation
    Regulation (EC) No 258/97 required any food or food ingredient without a history of consumption in the EU before 15 maj 1997 to be authorised before being placed on the market. This is the framework that captures NMN, spermidine as a supplement ingredient, urolithin A, and many other longevity actives.
