Rhodiola

Stress Buster

Rhodiola rosea is a powerful adaptogen that strengthens the body against stressors and prevents overreactions which lead to burnout. Rhodiola helps reduce burnout symptoms such as physical and mental fatigue and off-kilter stress hormone patterns. The key active ingredients, rosavins and salidrosides, help regulate blood sugar levels, preventing them from increasing too much in response to adrenaline or dropping too low in response to insulin. They have also been shown to improve the capacity for endurance exercise.

How it Works

Rhodiola supports the production of hormones and neurotransmitters that help cope with stress. It helps with the transport of serotonin precursors across the blood-brain barrier, and it blocks serotonindegrading enzymes. Other neurotransmitters that it enhances include dopamine, acetylcholine and norepinephrine, which are all targets of antidepressant drugs.

A Friend in Need

Rhodiola has been rigorously studied and its beneficial effects in coping with stress have been shown again and again. Rhodiola enhances the body’s ability to deal with stress appropriately, lending a helping hand to get through the rough spots in life.
