Rhodiola

Rhodiola Rosea's efficacy is mainly attributed to two critical bioactive compounds: salidrosides and rosavins. These compounds interact with the human body in several ways to exert their effects.

Firstly, Rhodiola Rosea acts on the brain's neurotransmitter system. It influences the concentrations of dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine, key neurotransmitters responsible for mood regulation, attention, and cognitive function. By modulating these neurotransmitters, Rhodiola Rosea can help enhance cognitive performance, improve mood, and alleviate symptoms of stress and anxiety.

Secondly, Rhodiola Rosea has been found to stimulate the activity of an enzyme called AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). This enzyme, sometimes called the "master metabolic switch," regulates cellular energy homeostasis. By activating AMPK, Rhodiola Rosea can enhance the body's energy metabolism, increasing energy production at a cellular level. This can result in improved physical performance, better physical and mental fatigue resistance, and enhanced recovery from strenuous exercise.

Lastly, Rhodiola Rosea has potent antioxidant properties, which help protect the body's cells against oxidative damage. Oxidative stress, an imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants, is linked to various chronic diseases and ageing. Rhodiola Rosea can help protect the body's cells by neutralising harmful free radicals, promoting overall health and well-being.

While individual experiences may vary, users of Rhodiola Rosea often report improved mental clarity, increased energy, and a heightened ability to manage stress. You might notice these benefits within a few weeks of consistent use.

Take 2 capsules daily with food and water, unless specified otherwise on the sachet. Elite athletes in intensive training may take 3 capsules.
As rhodiola affects cortisol, it is best pulsed for up to 3 months at a time with rest intervals of at least a few weeks for maximum benefit.
