How Vanguard tests Big-flowered rhodiola

Method for the $250 identity, purity and quantity test: HPLC-UV marker-compound assay (salidroside and tyrosol), LC-MS identity, against a reference standard, with results in 3 to 5 business days.

The USP Herbal Medicines Compendium monograph covers identity by HPTLC fingerprint and content of salidroside and tyrosol by HPLC. Full testing to the USP Herbal Medicines Compendium monograph for Rhodiola crenulata Root and Rhizome is available and quoted.

Questions about Big-flowered rhodiola testing

Is the $250 test the same as USP monograph testing?

No. The $250 test covers identity, purity and quantity by HPLC-UV measurement of salidroside and tyrosol, with LC-MS identity. Full testing to the USP Herbal Medicines Compendium monograph for Rhodiola crenulata Root and Rhizome is available and quoted.

How does Rhodiola crenulata differ from Rhodiola rosea?

Both contain salidroside and tyrosol, but Rhodiola rosea also contains rosavins, which R. crenulata lacks or has at very low levels. Rosavin testing helps show which species a product contains.

Can salidroside in a product be synthetic?

Salidroside is also made by synthesis or fermentation and is sometimes added to extracts. A very high salidroside level with little tyrosol or other phenolics can point to added material.
