RHODIOLA ROSEA
Moderates occasional physical and emotional stress
Rhodiola rosea, a Siberian plant also known as Golden root, has been used traditionally for hundreds of years in countries including Russia and Siberia. Identified as an adaptogen through extensive research, Rhodiola rosea has demonstrated a number of versatile properties. In particular, this includes helping to moderate the effects of occasional physical and emotional stress. Recently, a double blind cross-over study examined the effect of Rhodiola rosea on mental performance in healthy physicians. The results suggest that rhodiola may help to moderate fatigue under stressful conditions and to support short-term memory and concentration. In a separate, double blind, placebo-controlled pilot study, Rhodiola rosea provided support for physical and mental stress in students. Promoting the activity of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine plays a part in this herbs ability to enhance cognitive functioning, memory and attention.
