Rhodiola is an adaptogenic herb, traditionally used to increase cognitive function and improve stress response in people who typically experience emotional fatigue.
By supporting the nervous system, Rhodiola may contribute to improved cognitive performance and a more balanced response to stressors
A critical review found that Rhodiola exhibits adaptogenic effects on the nervous system, cardiovascular health and energy production as well as showing antidepressant and anti-anxiety qualities and a reduction in burnout symptoms in patients with fatigue syndrome[1].
A review of literature studying the role of Rhodiola as an antidepressant demonstrated Rhodiola has multi-target effects on various levels of internal stress response pathways, positively affecting components of the neuroendocrine and nervous system with possible uplifting effects on mood[2].
Rhodiola is available in various forms including higher potency extracts and also in combination with herbs and nutrients to support adrenal balance and the stress response.
