Rhodiola rosea is an herb with a long history of use in helping the body adapt to life's stressors. Rhodiola is listed in the national pharmacopoeias of France, Sweden, Denmark, and Russia as an adaptogen and overall "brain tonic." Adaptogens support the body's ability to manage stress by balancing the levels of hormones and neurotransmitters normally associated with the stress response. Rhodiola is unique among adaptogens in that it has been clinically shown to increase energy reserves and reduce levels of the stress hormone cortisol. Rhodiola has been shown to improve mental performance during night shifts, which helps reduce fatigue in night shift workers as well as the average person experiencing general fatigue.
Rhodiola is the ideal herbal product for people who frequently experience stress, and is particularly useful for night shift workers or people with a very stressful lifestyle.
AOR's Rhodiola is standardized to rosavin and salidroside for consistency with extracts used in leading clinical studies, providing superior efficacy compared to products standardized solely to either compound.
