Rhodiola rosea – Primary Adaptogen of Russian Research and Sacred Root of Tibet

Rhodiola rosea is a well-known root that grows in the cold mountains of Europe and Asia. It is known as a powerful adaptogen and the most well-known kind of Rhodiola in the world.

There are also the Tibetan Rhodiolas, of which there are three kinds used interchangeably; crenulata, sacra, and himalensis. Growing in the harsh environment it has earned the nickname “Plateau Ginseng”.

Limited research that has been done so far shows Rhodiola rosea wins out in effects of physical work capacity.1*

Rhodiola’s Adaptogenic Effects

One study showed a pronounced anti-fatigue effect resulting from mental work when taking Rhodiola rosea extract2,3*

Compounds in this root act as MAO inhibitors4 and may help support normal emotional states.*

Rhodiola rosea extract has strong effects on the symptoms of stress-induced fatigue.* This was shown via cortisol (the stress hormone) measurement in the saliva.

To sum up, in the USSR, where Rhodiola was heavily investigated, it was recognized for the following effects:

  • Acts as a stimulant for those suffering fatigue5*
  • Increases ability for mental work (considered #1 for mental clarity)*
  • Aids in recovery from physical and mental work*
  • Helps to maintain performance in the bedroom*

It may be best in reducing the perceived effort involved in exercise.6*

It has such great and wide-ranging effects that it’s included in the Spartan Adaptogen Formula and Hercules Formula.

So far, approximately 140 compounds have been isolated from Rhodiola roots. These include:

  • Rosavin
  • Rosin
  • Rosarin
  • Salidrosides
  • Tyrosol
  • P-Sitosterol
  • 35 Trace Minerals
  • Several volatile oils
  • 18 amino acids
  • Monoterpene alcohols and glycosides
  • Cyanogenic glycosides
  • Aryl glycosides
  • Phenylethanoids
  • Phenylpropanoids and their glycosides
  • Flavonoids
  • Flavonlignans
  • Proanthocyanidins
  • Gallic acid derivatives
According to Chinese Medicine Rhodiola contains all three treasures and is said to enter into the five main meridian systems (heart, spleen, liver, lungs, and kidney), although its primary function is as a Qi and Lung tonic.*

Some people find Rhodiola to be overly stimulating. In some cases, it may elevate high blood pressure, so take caution if hypertensive.

With some MAO inhibitor action, Rhodiola should not be taken with those on SSRI’s or other anti-depressants. It may also cause some interaction with neurotransmitter pre-cursors like found in bacopa. This herb is untested on pregnant and lactating women.

FAQ

Details about Rhodiola:

Rhodiola rosea is a perennial flowering plant that grows in Artic regions across the world. The roots have been used for their effects for centuries or longer, especially in China and Russia.
Rhodiola is the main plant around which the term ìadaptogenî was created. Thus it is used for its assistance in recovery from physical and mental work, and for helping the body to adapt to stress.
The plant is native to Asia and Siberia, but it is also located in the Rocky Mountains and in northern Europe. It does best at high altitudes where there are low temperatures.
Rhodiola rosea is the most well known and most often used plant in the genus. Others such as Rhodiola sacra, which comes from Tibet, or Rhodiola crenulata are also used for the same effects. Whether one is truly better than another is up for debate, although some research shows that rosea is superior to crenulata.
Quality:
Yes, it is certified organic.
Our Rhodiola is grown high up on the Tibetan plateau.
The plant is native to Asia and Siberia, but it is also located in the Rocky Mountains and in northern Europe. It does best at high altitudes where there are low temperatures.
There is no one active constituent inside of Rhodiola. Instead, several different components have been investigated for their effects. The following four components have been measured inside of our product. What is the salidroside content? 4.507% salidrosides. What is the rosarin content? 0.702% rosarin. What is the rosavin content? 2.079% rosavins. What is the rosin content? 0.739% rosins..
Ours is not just powdered raw roots but is a potent extract.
Our Rhodiola is extracted with both alcohol and water to maximize the potency.
How to Take Rhodiola:
Our recommended dose is 337.5 to 675 mg per day. A 100mg spoon is included with each bag. One good way to find the right dose for you is to start with 100mg once a day for a week and then increase the dosage by 100mg every week, up to 675mg a day.
The simplest way is to spoon the Rhodiola into your mouth and then wash it down with water or any other liquid. The taste is quite strong so many people would not like to add it to drinks or smoothies.
Add a dose of our already extracted Rhodiola powder to hot water and stir.
The powder can have a strong astringent taste. Astringent is the feeling of when it draws moisture out of your mouth.
Rhodiola has been safely administered for periods ranging up to four months in studies. While many can feel the effects of Rhodiola right away, the research points to the best effects happening by taking it for long periods of time.
If taking for longer periods of time, a one- to two-week break should be done every three months.
Take Rhodiola early in the day to avoid any interference with sleep. Some people find it stimulating.
Rhodiola is best taken on an empty stomach.
Effects:
The time required to begin feeling the effects of rhodiola depends on your genetics, mental and physical condition, environment, behavior, and lifestyle. Some people begin to feel its effects immediately, others in just a few days, while others require as much as three or four weeks. Clinical studies show that most people experience its full benefits in 30-40 days. If you do not notice a change within 40 days, discontinue use, as rhodiola may not be effective for you.
Rhodiola can have stimulant-like effects. It used to combat fatigue and mental fog.
Rhodiola is a natural nootropic and adaptogen which can reduce fatigue, boost concentration, improve mood, and alleviate stress.
For some people, rhodiola helps with sleep. When using this herb, try it early in the day to see how your body responds. Many people experience a stimulant-like effect which could interfere with sleep.
Rhodiola is traditionally used as an adaptogenic herb that helps the body respond to occasional stress and supports healthy energy levels. Many people find it most useful when they’re dealing with mild, day‑to‑day stressors. Those who feel deeply depleted or overly sensitive to stimulatory herbs often choose gentler options instead. As always, individuals with ongoing fatigue or health concerns should speak with a qualified professional.
Rhodiola can help your body and mind better handle stress, and therefore may be helpful in cases of anxious thoughts and feelings. Take the recommended dose each day for at least a month to properly tell if it can help you here.
Side Effects and Contraindications:
Clinical research indicates taking up to 340mg twice daily for up to ten weeks is safe. You should avoid using if pregnant or nursing.
It is recommended for those suffering from ì21st century stressî: burnout, fatigue, mental fog, trouble concentrating, low energy, and, for some, mild feelings of sadness or despair.
Women who are pregnant or nursing should not use rhodiola.
Rhodiola has a blood thinning capacity. You should discontinue use before surgery and consult with a doctor if you take blood-thinning medications.
Combinations with Other Herbs:
Yes. You can use it with almost any other herb. It ís very popular with ginseng or ashwagandha. We use it in our Spartan Adaptogen Formula and Hercules Formula. (Note that this is a different form of rhodiola than is inside these formulas. But we are currently at work in reformulating them to include this same version of Rhodiola.)
Some people do continue to drink coffee with rhodiola. However, it being stimulating to some, it may be overly stimulating to others.
