The Russian Herbal that Thinks its Viagra!
Rhodiola rosea is a popular plant in traditional medical systems in Eastern
Europe and Asia with a reputation for stimulating the nervous system, Libido,
decreasing depression, enhancing work performance, eliminating fatigue, and
preventing high altitude sickness.
Rhodiola rosea has been categorized as an adaptogen by Russian researchers
due to its observed ability to increase resistance to a variety of chemical,
biological, and physical stressors. Its claimed benefits include antidepressant,
anticancer, cardio protective, and central nervous system enhancement.
Research also indicates great utility in asthenic conditions (decline in work
performance, sleep difficulties, poor appetite, irritability, hypertension,
headaches, and fatigue) developing subsequent to intense physical or intellectual
strain. The adaptogenic, cardiopulmonary protective, and central nervous system
activities of Rhodiola rosea have been attributed primarily to its ability to
influence levels and activity of monoamines and opioid peptides such as beta-endorphins.
Reflex Rhodiola is a standardised extract with guaranteed levels of the active
ingredient Salidroside.
