Summary

We hypothesize that add-on Rhodiola L extract capsule to the regimen of patients with moderate-to-severe COPD (1) may provide a potential of systemic effects of anti-inflammation and anti-oxidation for these patients, and these effects (2) may reflect in the improvement of patients' physiological measurements, quality of life and exercise tolerance.
