Rhodiola rosea (roseroot) is an adaptogen

This product is an excellent remedy for mental and physical performance, resilience and mental agility. Rhodiola is an adaptogen, which means that the plant adapts to its situation. It affects the weak spots of the body and strengthens them. This also means that Rhodiola rosea can have different effects on different people. Adaptogenic plants do not add a new component such as side effects, stress or the like.
Roseroot is involved in the metabolism of adrenaline and cortisol and helps the organism to adapt to environmental factors. It raises the tolerance against stress and gives more energy at the same time.

Popular with athletes

Competitive athletes often use Rhodiola rosea, because it not only has performance-enhancing, but also muscle-building effects. Furthermore, the plant promotes the regeneration after hard training.
Intensive training on a regular basis causes the body to release more cortisol. An increased cortisol level counteracts the muscle building and can even have catabolic effects, which results in the loss of valuable muscle mass. The adaptogen Rhodiola rosea counteracts this mechanism.
Since the 1960s, Rhodiola rosea has been researched intensively in Russia and used successfully in competitive sports.

Study about Rhodiola rosea

One study showed that Rhodiola rosea improved the tiredness of doctors during night shifts and that it increased the mental performance already during the first two weeks of consumption.
