Rhodiola Rosea Powder

Rhodiola, sometimes known as Golden Root or Roseroot, is a potent adaptogenic herb found growing wild in cool mountainous regions of Northern Europe and Asia. Used as a traditional medicine for centuries to deal with a variety of stress related ailments, it has only in the last few decades come to be recognised by the scientific community as a herb with some potent benefits.

Adaptogenic herbs work by modifying the body’s response to both physical and mental stress in such a way as to improve both resistance and recovery. They also have a fatigue reducing effect and show possible function in improving resistance both to, and recovery from disease.

In clinical trials Rhodiola has shown repeatedly to reduce mental stress, improve cognitive performance and elevate mood. It also has been shown to reduce symptoms associated with altitude sickness and to elevate mood in those suffering from depression and anxiety. These benefits stem from Rhodiola’s function both as a monoamine oxidase inhibitor, and by generating an increase in opiod peptide synthesis, which allows optimisation of levels of serotonin, dopamine and noradrenaline, three important neurotransmitters for regulation of mood and resistance to mental stress factors.

Rhodiolas fatigue delaying ability and increased resistance to disease stem from its ability to bolster the hormonal response to stress and exertion in a way that is unique even amongst other adaptogens. Recent studies on rats have also shown it grants an improved rate of muscle ATP replenishment after physical exertion.

Therapeutically, Rhodiola shows benefit in the treatment of headaches, cold and flu, depression, hypertension, male sexual dysfunction, insomnia, poor appetite and even in the treatment of certain cancers. It has also been shown to exert cardioprotective effects.
