ABOUT RHODIOLA ROSEA

In Russia, Scandinavia, the Baltic countries, and Asia, Rhodiola Rosea has a long history of folk use as an adaptogenic herb.

 

Tonic-like properties have been associated with it, such as being used to counter fatigue and enhance the ability to work mentally and physically.

 

In cold climates, R.Rosea grows in mountainous regions, through Central Asia, in Europe. Researchers in Russia studied (and eventually classified R.rosea as an adaptogen) R.rosea's ability to adapt to extreme temperatures and environments.

 

This adaptogenic classification of R. Rosea is based on decades of research, with R. Rosea showing resistance to multiple types of stress factors.

 

A variety of biologically active compounds exist in R.rosea. The main bioactive compounds of rosavins (rosavin, rosin, and rosarian) are salidroside and rosavins.

 

Rhodiola Rosea is an adaptogenic herb that can increase physical and mental endurance as well as boost energy, alertness, concentration, mental stamina, and mood.
