viridis,
Yes, now I remember about that brand, they have a website also adaptogen.com
The plant is Rhodiola rosea, arctic root, Radix (Sedum roseum and rose
root seems to be the same too), etc. all the same. The powder has, of course, that color.Another good brand seems to be Thorne and maybe Solgar too.
At the same site you can read about Schizandra (Chisandra, etc), a product I heard some very good comments about (like it is calming and improves mood in a subtle way).
Anyway, having theanine at hand, I would stick to it for a while, it sounds very interesting to me, especially for day use. Unfortunately, I can´t have it.
Some links on Rhodiola

And I think it is searchable in Medline...yes, see
