Rhodiola for stress-fatigue 红景天缓解压力性疲劳
Stress & Mental Fatigue 减压·脑疲劳 early evidenceWhat the evidence says:
Standardised rhodiola has several RCTs for stress-related fatigue and "burnout" — one of the better-evidenced adaptogens, though trials are small. (Ashwagandha, an Ayurvedic herb, has similar early stress/cortisol evidence.) An adjunct, not a fix.

How to make it
Standardised extract 200–400 mg in the morning (it can feel stimulating). Give it a couple of weeks; pair with sleep and movement.
Why it works
No substitute for sleep — that's the real anti-fatigue "supplement".
Classical source
A high-altitude Tibetan tonic for endurance and stress.
Cautions: Take earlier in the day; caution with bipolar disorder and stimulants. Quality varies — choose standardised products.
