RHODIOLA ROSEA
DESCRIPTION:
Rhodiola rosea, also known as rose root, golden root, and arctic root® is found naturally in northern regions of Europe, Scandinavia, Lapland, and Alaska. Traditionally, Rhodiola rosea was believed to give strength and stamina, and therefore was commonly used to treat long-term illness and weakness due to infection. Rhodiola has also been a favored ingredient in many folk love potions.
PHYSIOLOGY:
Rhodiola rosea has long been known as a potent adaptogen®. Adaptogens are natural plant substances that increase the body’s non-specific resistance, normalize the functions of the body, and are entirely safe (no side effects). It is believed that adaptogens work by increasing the ability of cells to manufacture and use cell fuel more efficiently.
There are many species of Rhodiola, but only Rhodiola rosea has adaptogenic properties.
INDICATIONS:
Rhodiola rosea has been shown to shorten recover time after prolonged workouts, to increase attention span, memory, strength, and anti-toxic action. Rhodiola rosea extract increases the level of enzymes, RNA, and proteins important to muscle recovery after exhaustive exercise. It has also been shown to increase the levels of beta-endorphin in blood plasma which helps prevent the hormonal changes indicative of stress. This effect has also been linked to maintaining an increased cardiac output and subsequently having a cardioprotective effect. Studies using proofreading tests have demonstrated that Rhodiola rosea enhances memorization and concentration ability over prolonged periods. Finally, Rhodiola has been shown to increase anti-tumor activity by increasing the body’s resistance to toxins.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
250mg 1-3x daily as a daily supplement or 500mg before exercise or any other situation that demands extra mental clarity and energy.
BIO-ENHANCING AGENTS:
Other adaptogens such as Siberian ginseng, Asian ginseng, American ginseng, Ashwagandha, Schisandra, and Astragalus.
TOXICITY, CAUTIONS, AND CONTRA-INDICATIONS: No reported toxicity.
