Adaptogen: Rhodiola Rosea Powder Extract

Traditional Chinese Medicine and other Eastern modalities have for millennia used adaptogenic herbs to restore well-being. And we now offer one of the top adaptogens: Rhodiola rosea.

The root of Rhodiola rosea contains more than 140 active ingredients, the two most potent of which are rosavin and salidroside. Its active ingredients contribute to increase your body’s resistance to stress, allowing you to better cope during stressful times, and improve many symptoms of depression.

A 2002 review in HerbalGram, the journal of the American Botanical Council, reported that numerous in vivo studies of rhodiola have indicated that it helps prevent fatigue, stress, and the damaging effects of oxygen deprivation. Evidence also suggests that it acts as an antioxidant, enhances immune system function, and may increase sexual energy. Rhodiola’s efficacy was confirmed in a 2011 review of 11 placebo-controlled human studies.

Major Benefits

◎Help reduce depression and stress

◎Improve physical and mental performance

◎Support to stabilize moods

◎Strengthen immune system
