Rhodiola Rosea

- Broad-spectrum adaptogen support for mental and physical stress
Rhodiola rosea, a Siberian herb also known as rhodiola, has been used traditionally for hundreds of years to help reduce mental and physical stress. A recent double-blind crossover study suggests that rhodiola may help reduce fatigue under stressful conditions and support concentration and short-term memory. Rhodiola promotes the activity of neurotransmitters like serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine, which play a role in this herb's ability to improve cognitive function, memory, and attention. Animal studies indicate that the extract also appears to maintain healthy adrenal catecholamine activity during episodes of stress. Additionally, Rhodiola rosea has demonstrated the potential to support antioxidant defenses. Rhodiola may be contraindicated for people taking adrenolytic or antiarrhythmic medications.
