Super Rhodiola Is It an MAO-A Inhibitor?

Is there any evidence that Ceretropic's product is an MAO-A Inhibitor? I'm nervous. I have it under my tongue. Ate cacao a while ago. Ate half a banana. I'm going to die aren't I lol.
I heard the effect may only be peripheral for that effect which could still induce heart attacks or high blood pressure issues.
But it is Rosiridin that is known for its MAO-A inhibition I believe. Super Rhodiola contains only tyrosol and salidroside.
The only information I found about the activity of those two was about many genetic effects it has.
Anyone know what neurotransmitter effects Super Rhodiola has? As well as if it is MAO-A inhibitor specifically.
I don't want to cheese myself to death.

Neither Tyrosol nor Salidroside have shown any MAO activity. Rosiridin has shown both MAO-A and MAO-B activity. However, our solution does not contain Rosiridin.
Tyrosol is a nueroprotective antioxidant that protects against lipid peroxidation. Salidroside, which is a glucoside of Tyrosol, is an antioxidant as well, but also has anti-fatigue effects. It increases the contents of hemoglobin and muscle and liver glycogen, while reducing lactate levels in blood. Think of Tyrosol as a highly bioavailable phenolic antioxidant, and Salidroside as Tyrosol bound to glucose. The Salidroside seems to be a delivery system for glycogen to the muscles and the liver, which is what is leading to the anti-fatigue effects. Neither are affecting MAO.
