Adaptogenic effect
Rhodiola rosea is considered one of the most promising raw materials with adaptogenic properties. It allows you to increase the body’s ability to adapt to changing environmental conditions.
In order to confirm the adaptogenic properties of individual plant raw materials, tests are performed to demonstrate their calming, anti-stress, immunostimulating effects, assessing physical and mental performance (memory and learning), anabolic and antioxidant properties.
Anti-stress effect, stop anxiety and mental problems
Rhodiola rosea extracts contribute to the improvement of non-specific resistance to stress by increasing the concentration of serotonin (the hormone of happiness) in the hypothalamus and midbrain, influencing some components of the cell stress response system, e.g. an increase in beta-endorphins in the blood plasma.
Better results at work, mental and physical fitness
People receiving the standardized Rhodiola rosea extract showed significant improvement in physical and psychomotor performance, concentration, reduced mental fatigue, reduced drowsiness, better motivation to learn and overall better well-being.
After just 2 weeks of use Rhodiola rosea significant improvement in test results was found – general mental fatigue was assessed, including cognitive and perceptual brain functions such as association, short-term memory, counting, ability to concentrate and speed of audio-visual perception.
Stop aging, toxins, antioxidant effect
Phenylethanol derivatives included in Rhodiola rosea have multidirectional effects – against the toxic effects of chemical compounds, protect against radiation, slow down the aging process and they have strong antioxidant effect.
heart protection, blood pressure normal, stop arrhythmia
The cardioprotective effect of Rhodiola rosea extracts consists mainly in protecting the heart against stress factors that may damage this organ (e.g. free radicals).
Rhodiola rosea increases the energy reserves of the heart muscle and activates μ-opioid receptors in the heart muscle, protecting the heart against arrhythmia, and also reduces local ischemia and regulates blood pressure.
Prevention of sexual disorders, support of metabolic functions
Rhodiola rosea is helpful in the prevention of sexual disorders, allows you to maintain normal blood sugar levels by increasing the sensitivity of cells to insulin, improves the performance of athletes by increasing anabolic processes and the effective use of cellular reserves.

- The test results showed that the main chemicals mountain pintailresponsible for its properties there are polyphenolic compounds – phenylpropanoids, flavonoids, proanthocyanidins and tannins.
