Details
Rhodiola is commonly classified as an “adaptogen”. An adaptogen is a substance that has the capacity to “adapt” to the body's differing physical and mental stress levels. Its known effects can provide relief from depression. However, the body's response to adaptogens vary from person to person.
NOW Foods' Rhodiola incorporates top-quality Rhodiola extract that works far better than other similar herbal plants. Unfortunately, Rhodiola was not a widely developed ingredient until recently. Poor quality Rhodiola extracts that are being used by some manufacturers may not be as effective. Consumers can never know for sure which brand to choose from.

Rhodiola Rosea Review Review by AstroNutrition In-House Review
Rating Rhodiola rosea or golden root is a herb that grows in cold regions including the Arctic, Central Asia, the Rocky Mountains, and northern Europe mountains. In Russia, physicians consider rhodiola rosea an adaptogen, which means it helps the body adapt to deal with various types of stress. Adaptogens are meant to help maintain balance in the body without negative side effects.
Rhodesia rosea has been traditionally used as a herbal remedy to enhance mood and treat depression in Russia, Norway, Sweden, and Iceland. The herbal effects and usage is often compared to ginseng going as far as it sometimes being marketed as the “new ginseng.”
Russian studies have found that rhodiola rosea might boost mental and physical energy. Users often report that it improved their stamina and attentiveness. A Russian study of proofreaders showed that those that used rhodiola rosea averaged 88% less errors than the group that did not. Additional double-blind studies back up the claim that rhodiola improves mental function in people suffering from stress, sleep deprivation, or fatigue.
Rhodiola rosea is thought to work by improving levels of serotonin and dopamine neurotransmitters in the brain. It does this be blocking monoamine oxidase, which breaks down serotonin and dopamine. Thus it works similar to monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) antidepressants, as low levels of serotonin and dopamine are linked to depression and other mood disorders.
Native people to cold climates where rhodiola rosea grows have found it to help dal with the stress related to living in the cold. This includes the Viking and Sami people having used rhodiola rosea or golden rood to improve mood for centuries.
Rhodiola rosea might also prevent or treat altitude sickness.
Rhodiola rosea is usually taken as a capsule. It is most effective when standardized to rosavins and salidroside in the ratio of 3 to 1, as they are naturally in Rhodiola rosea. The daily dosage is usually between 200 and 600mg taken in two or three different doses before meals.
There are usually no negative side effects, although it can cause drowsiness. It can also cause jitters or agitatio, which can sometimes be reduced by taking a smaller dose. Those that are in an agitated or excited state should avoid rhodiola rosea. (Posted on 3/2/11) -
