Ligne De Plantes Rhodiola Dietary supplement PHYSIOLOGICAL VALENCE Rodiola favors the normal mood, has a tonic action (physical and mental fatigue) and is an adaptogen tonic. COMPONENT - Rodiola Spontaneous plant of the mountainous regions (from 3000 to 5000 m) of northern Europe and Asia. In Siberia, where it is called the Golden Root, it is used in folk medicine against fatigue and its use seems connected to the surprising longevity of local populations. The main clinical trials of the scholars of the former Soviet Union have confirmed the values attributed by popular tradition regarding resistance to fatigue and cold, to the normalization of the body's functions even in the presence of various types of stress. There are about 200 varieties, but Rosea is the most appreciated for the richness of active ingredients, especially salidroside and rosavina. Since ancient times they used herbal remedies derived from plants called adaptogens to combat physical and intellectual stress. The R., little known in the West until a few years ago, is considered today the most complete adaptogen. To be Adaptogenic, a plant must not be toxic, it must allow all the normal physiological functions of the organism; the action exerted by the active ingredients must be aspecific and maintain the correct functionality of the body even in the presence of fatigue (eg physical or mental stress, etc); must exercise an action aimed at the normalization of the body's functions even in the presence of pathological conditions. Rhodiola and depression Based on the experiments conducted so far, it seems that the action of Rhodiola rosea root extract against depression, occurs through the increase of serotonin levels in the blood. This happens more for its preservation than for the stimulation of its biosynthesis. Recent studies have shown that Rodhiola rosea has been shown to significantly reduce the symptoms associated with depression. Memory and learning The adaptogenic action of Rhodiola rosea also occurs in those situations in which the source of stress it is represented by a particularly intense intellectual activity. The administration of Rhodiola rosea extract is able to exert a stimulating effect on mental activity, improving concentration, lucidity and mnemonic potential. This effect has so far been the subject of numerous studies, although the exact mechanism of action is not yet fully clarified. Rodiola and maintenance of body weight The extract of Rhodiola rosea is able to stimulate the activity of the lipase, thus favoring the mobilization of fats. This property has been the subject of some interesting studies aimed at better defining the role that can be attributed to the dry extract obtained from the root of Rhodiola rosea as part of a program aimed at the loss or maintenance of body weight. Sports performance The majority of studies available up to now on Rhodiola rosea have concerned its improvement in sports performance. Many of these were conducted in the former Soviet Union and made Rhodiola rosea extract one of the most recommended natural products used by Russian athletes to increase performance and reduce the duration of the recovery phase. In general, the activity associated with the extract of Rhodiola rosea has already proved effective on its own or in association with that of other plants. Rhodiola and heart It is now known that stress is one of the main risk factors for cardiac and cardiovascular diseases. The adaptogenic action exerted by the extract of Rhodiola rosea is expressed through the modulation of the heart's response to stress and is therefore addressed to the protection of the cardiac tissue. The exact mechanisms by which such an action can be carried out need further investigation. From some experiments carried out on animals it seems however that the extract of Rhodiola rosea can contribute to the prevention of cardiac pathologies probably through a modulation action of the release of catecholamines and corticoids in the phase of stress response. Rhodiola and genital apparatus The tonic and stimulating properties of Rhodiola rosea have been known to the Russian population for centuries. A study conducted at a Russian research institute highlighted how scientific evidence could exist for what is claimed by popular beliefs.
