Rhodiola is an herb that has been used in traditional medicine throughout history for its adaptogenic properties. Grown in colder mountainous regions of Europe, Asia, and even in high altitudes of the Arctic, this hardy plant has been used to help the body acclimate to different environments and surroundings. Rhodiola contains two main compounds, rosavin and salidroside, which help provide the beneficial effects and are the main constituents studied in this herb. These extracts support healthy cortisol levels by assisting in the function of adrenal glands, allowing for a healthy response to physical and mental stress. As an adaptogen, Rhodiola supports the body’s overall performance and helps to balance the actions of our central nervous system. This balance prepares the body to manage energy and tension as well as recharge and return to a relaxed state. This process also allows for improved mood and cognition, helping to fight symptoms of depression.†
