Active Ingredient and Benefits
*doses listed are per serving (=one capsule)
Rhodiola rosea, also known as golden root, arctic root, and roseroot, is a tall flowering plant species native to colder climates and mountainous regions of Europe and Asia. It is heralded as an adaptogenic herb that helps the body "adapt" and overcome stress, specifically distress (aka "bad" stress).
Being a prestigious adaptogenic herb, Rhodiola rosea has been increasingly studied as a natural treatment for various mental health conditions (e.g. generalized anxiety disorder and moderate depression) with promising results [1]. The roots of Rhodiola rosea are enriched in numerous phytonutrients—notably rosavins and salidroside—that are suggested to possess many health benefits, including:
Improving cognitive deficiencies and depressive symptoms [2, 3]
Enhancing the immune system [4]
Promoting exercise performance [5, 6]
Inhibiting the growth and proliferation of human breast cancer cells (in vitro) [7]
Supporting healthy blood pressure levels [8]
Rhodiolife is the world’s first standardized Rhodiola rosea extract to be made commercially available. This patented ingredient is developed by Nektium Pharma and 100% identity guaranteed, ensuring it is authentic and potent Rhodiola rosea.
How To Use
As a dietary supplement, take 1 to 2 capsules daily, with or without food. Do not exceed 2 capsules per day.
Optimal Timing
Rhodiola rosea extract is generally best taken in the morning or afternoon as it supports cognitive function and may increase mental performance. It may also be a useful adjunct to your pre-workout supplement if you take one.
FAQs
Q. What Are the Benefits of Rhodiola Supplements?
Rhodiola supplements are celebrated for their ability to enhance mental clarity, reduce fatigue, and support resilience against stress. Studies (cited above) suggest that Rhodiola rosea can improve cognitive functions, particularly under conditions of stress and fatigue, making it a popular choice among students and professionals alike. Additionally, it may have a positive impact on physical endurance and recovery by increasing red blood cell count and lowering oxidative stress.
Rhodiola may interact with certain medications, particularly those that affect the central nervous system [9]. It can potentiate antidepressants and anxiolytics, possibly leading to heightened (side) effects. Therefore, it’s advisable for individuals taking any form of medication to consult with a healthcare professional before taking dietary supplements containing Rhodiola.
Q. Is it Okay to Take a Rhodiola Supplement Every Day?
Daily supplementation with Rhodiola is generally considered safe for most individuals [10]. However, it's often recommended to follow a cyclical pattern, such as taking rhodiola for 6-10 weeks, followed by a 3- to 4-week break. This may help prevent the potential attenuation of its effects and minimize the risk of side effects associated with long-term use.
Q. Is Rhodiola Supplementation Safe for the Kidneys?
There’s no compelling evidence suggesting Rhodiola supplements pose a risk to kidney health. However, individuals with pre-existing kidney conditions should consult with healthcare providers before beginning any new supplement regimen.
Q. How Long Does it Take for Rhodiola to Start Working?
The time it takes for Rhodiola to "kick in" can vary depending on the individual and the intended health benefits. Some may notice improvements in mood and energy levels within a few days, while more substantial benefits, like enhanced mental performance and physical endurance, might take several weeks of consistent use to manifest.
Q. Which Is Better, Rhodiola or Ashwagandha?
Neither, because they're both great for their own purpose. Rhodiola is primarily known for its energizing and performance-enhancing effects, making it suitable for those dealing with physical fatigue and acute stress. Ashwagandha, on the other hand, tends to have a more calming effect and stronger influence on the endocrine system (which plays a role in hormone balance). Both herbs are revered among the adaptogens, so you really can't go wrong with either (and plenty of people take both concurrently).
