Rhodiola and ashwagandha are both promoted to help with stress and anxiety. Is it safe to take them at the same time?

For some of you it sounds like the song long ago that Kenny Rogers sang with the band The First Edition.

"I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in."

What about a "greens" or "reds" product that contains both ashwagandha (600 mg root extract) and rhodiola (100 mg rosea extract)? A product called Patriot Power Reds contains both of these. Would that be safe to take?

I have "adrenal fatigue" (often not a real condition, but in my case, thyroidectomy and hysterectomy have put burden on my adrenals)

My solution is to use rhodiola at times when I need more energy, bacopa for cognitive function, and ashwaganda for relaxation.

I do not use them concurrently, but will select at the beginning of the month, what I will need for the month.

I take both in an adrenal blend. They really help. More than anything else has

We typically use both in integrative medicine. I use ashwagandha at bedtime because it is sedating, and rhodiola in small doses in the morning because it can be activating. I tend to recommend always starting slow with natural supplements, and adding on gradually. Some people get a positive response right away and others will continue on the supplements for a couple of months, along with other stress reduction (meditation, tapping, Heartmath, Headspace app on your phone, etc.), before they feel better overall.

I've been taking both Rhodiola and Ashwaganda at relatively high dosages for some time, as well as a plethora of other herbs and what not and for the most part I have no idea if anything is working, let alone having side effects. I am not very susceptible to placebo effects. I just trust the shaky science behind these substances, using Consumerlab suggested brands wherever possible.
