Product descriptions
Rhodiola rosea - also known as scented crow's-foot, rose crow's-foot or rose root - is a plant native to the cold, mountainous regions of Europe and Asia.
Its roots are considered adaptogenic, meaning that when consumed, they help the body adapt to stress.
Rhodiola is also known as arctic root or golden root. Its scientific name is rhodiola rosea.
The root contains more than 140 active ingredients, the two most important of which are rosavin and salidroside. It has been used for centuries by people in Russian and Scandinavian countries to treat anxiety, fatigue and depression. It is now widely used as a dietary supplement for its many health benefits.
Adaptogens, such as rhodiola rosea, increase the body's resistance, allowing it to cope more easily with stress.
Because of its adaptive capacity, rhodiola is a popular supplement for combating fatigue and other symptoms of stress.
Rhodiola has been shown to improve many symptoms of depression and, like antidepressants, can positively influence neurotransmitters that affect mood and emotions.
Rhodiola has been shown to enhance mental performance in mentally stressful and physically demanding situations, but further research is needed to confirm these findings.
Rhodiola reduces perceived exertion, allowing for longer, harder training.
Rhodiola has been shown to reduce blood sugar levels in rodents, suggesting it may be a valuable supplement in the fight against diabetes in humans, but further research is needed in humans.
Test-tube experiments have shown that the active ingredient in rhodiola, salidroside, inhibits the growth of cancer cells, but the effect on humans is unknown.
Overall, rhodiola has a number of health benefits and is considered safe and has low side effects when taken at the recommended doses.
Dosage, recommended use:
One serving = 1 capsule
1 dose daily, during the day, on an empty stomach
Rhodiola is most effective taken on an empty stomach, except at bedtime, as it has a mild stimulant effect. The optimal dose of rhodiola for improving symptoms of stress, fatigue or depression is 400-600 mg once daily. To achieve the performance-enhancing effects of rhodiola, 200-300 mg should be taken one to two hours before exercise.
Storage: Store in a tightly closed, dry, cool, light-proof place, out of the reach of children.
