Rhodiola: I use this and find it amazing. TRY IT !!

Hi Guys!!

I have been taking this supplement in conjunction with Ginseng and I am finding huge benefits in terms of stress management and concentration levels.

The Nutrilite Rhodiola I take has green tea caffeine in it and what this means to you and me is that it gives you the alertness but not the shakes. My concentration levels are brilliant and for anyone who knows me, that is a huge break through right!

Rhodiola

The most commonly used species of Rhodiola is found cold regions such as Alaska, North Europe and Siberia. The name Rhodiola rosea represents the rose like aroma that comes from the freshly cut root of the Rhodiola plant.
There are over 200 species of Rhodiola. However, Rhodiola rosea contains rosavins (active constituents) making it the most commonly used form. It is the rosavins that contribute to the adoptogenic qualities of Rhodiola. An adoptogen is a natural compound that can build the body’s defences against physical and emotional stressors.
Rhodiola can assist in reducing anxiety, exhaustion and fatigue. It also has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Rhodiola can protect the body against physical stress because it brings cortisol levels under control. Cortisol is a hormone made by the two adrenal glands and is essential in the body’s processes of managing stress, inflammation and converting protein into glucose to boost flagging blood sugar levels.
Rhodiola has traditionally been used to improve physical stamina, in fact Russian scientific literature shows that it can improve speed and strength in various activities such as swimming, wrestling and even gymnastics. Rhodiola was also examined in the Soviet Space program, exhibiting improvements in the functioning of problem solving, short term memory and general mental capacity while fatigued. Other research papers imply that it may also assist in heart rate recovery following exercise.
Rhodiola rosea is generally considered to be safe. Individuals with diabetes or using hypoglycaemic agents need to be cautious as Rhodiola may decrease blood glucose and therefore could increase the risk of hypoglycaemia.
