High stress, a common problem in modern
day life, is believed to be a significant contributor to a
large proportion of age-related and chronic diseases.
Fortunately, there is a unique class of herbal products
called “adaptogens” which may increase the body’s ability to
cope with internal and external stress factors and normalize
the functions of the body.
Rhodiola
rosea has been used in
Russia traditional medicine for centuries. Found in the
polar regions of eastern Siberia, it has been used to cope
with the cold Siberian weather and stressful life. Known for
its adaptogenic activity, Rhodiola rosea can help our bodies
adapt to stress. It leads to an increase in the amount of
basic b-endorphin in the blood plasma which inhibits the
hormonal changes indicative of stress.
The extract of Rhodiola
rosea may
enhance mental and physical performance. Protective
mechanisms from the use of Rhodiola rosea can help safeguard
the heart against the danger of chronic stress, normalizing
the heart rate immediately after intense exercise. It
supports the nervous system and mental functions such as
memory, by increasing blood supply to the muscles and brain.
Rhodiola rosea has important properties as an anti-mutagen
and anti-depressive agent. Rhodiola rosea has rejuvenative
properties due to its ability to raise the efficiency of the
intracellular DNA repair mechanisms. Although many other
species of Rhodiola exist, the majority of the research has

studied in Rhodiola rosea are Rosarin, Rosavin, Rosin and
