Any news as to when the 3% salidrosides will be back in stock?

Yes, we have rejected multiple batches now, because pretty much everything coming out of China right now is Rhodiola Crenulata mislabeled as Rhodiola Rosea. I would put money on many of the "Rhodiola rosea" products being sold on the market right now as actually being crenulata. Almost nobody does a species analysis of their plant extracts, and an HPLC will still show salidrosides; since crenulata has those. However, there will be zero rosavins, since that compound is not found in the crenulata species.
We are working on it, but I will only sell a batch that is Rhodiola rosea with at least 3% salidrosides by HPLC. That's just taking a long time to actually get.
