Rhodiola rosea 300 mg, 60 caps

Rhodiola rosea - psychophysical support in demanding moments

Rhodiola Rosea (mountain rosea) is an herb that grows in cold, mountainous regions of Europe and Asia. Its roots are considered adaptogens, meaning that they help the body adapt to stress after ingestion.

Rhodiola is also known as Arctic root or golden root, which contains more than 140 active constituents, the two most potent being rosavin and salidroside. Its adaptogenic properties involve helping to regulate the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, which plays a key role in the body's response to stress. Rhodiola has a beneficial effect on cortisol levels, helping to restore its normal diurnal rhythm, which can result in greater resistance to stress and better sleep and recovery.

The plant also exhibits neuroprotective effects, promoting the balance of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine. As a result, it can positively influence mood and be a natural support in states of mild depression, mental exhaustion and during periods of recovery. Rhodiola has been shown to alleviate symptoms of burnout that can occur with chronic stress. One study involved 118 people with stress-related burnout who took 400 mg of rhodiola daily for 12 weeks. The study participants showed marked improvement in various symptoms, such as stress and depression, often associated with burnout.

In another study, 100 people with chronic fatigue symptoms received 400 mg of mountain rhodiola daily for 8 weeks. They experienced significant improvements in symptoms of stress, fatigue, and quality of life. Their psychophysical state improved significantly - they experienced improved mood and concentration. This improvement was observed after just 1 week of treatment and persisted through the final week of the study(source). Supplementation with rhodiola rosea promotes improvements in cognitive function - including concentration, alertness and working memory - especially during periods of mental overload. Increased exercise tolerance was also observed in studies, making Rhodiola a valued ingredient in sports supplementation as well.

In addition, Rhodiola exhibits antioxidant activity, protecting cells from oxidative stress and supporting the body's regenerative mechanisms. It can also support the immune system, boosting natural resistance to infection during periods of weakness.
