Rhodiola Rosea Extract

Our Rhodiola Rosea is a close relative to Siberian Rhodiola Rosea and it is indigenous to the Tian Shan mountains of Kyrgyzstan. In addition to Salidroside, Thyrosol-glucoside, and Cinnamol alcohol glycosides are considered to be the likely active components. Especially notable are Rosavidin and Cinnamyl-0-(6'-0-L-arabinopyranosyl- D-glucopyranosid). Additional constituents are Thyrosol and Cinnamic alcohol, the anthraglycosides Beta-sitosterin and Daucosterol. Monoterpenes, flavonoids, tannins and essential oils have also been found. Rhodiola Rosea has been shown thru wide scale tests on healthy men and women to have positive effects on the nervous system and to act as a mild depressant. Rhodiola Rosea extract is known for its adaptogenic activity, which increases the body's resistance to stress. Rhodiola rosea leads to an increase in the amount of basic b-endorphin in the blood plasma which inhibits the hormonal changes indicative of stress.

It was experimentally established that prophylactic introduction of a Rhodiola Rosea extract prevents the ischemic brain damage development. A course administration of the drug in a dose of 700 mg/kg arrests the development of hyper- and hypoperfusion in cerebral circulation, weakens the postischemic hyperglycemic reaction, lowers oxygen extraction by cerebral tissues, suppresses lactate acidosis, promotes pyruvate participation in metabolic processes inhibits edema swelling, prevents the "calcium paradox" development, and decreases manifestations of the lipid peroxidation processes.

In a Russian study, an extract of Rhodiola rosea was examined for its effects on the pattern of stress-induced cardiac damage that was measured by enzyme accumulation in the heart. Rhodiola rosea was found to prevent stress induced cardiac damage. The extract was determined to prevent both stress-induced release of proteins and higher enzyme levels, which could ultimately damage heart tissue. The findings suggest anti stressor and cardio protective benefits of Rhodiola rosea without harmful effects on the heart.

Rhodiola Rosea is also known as: Sedum roseum, Rose Root, and Golden Root. We supply bulk and packaged forms of dry, water and alcohol root extract using fresh, wild craft harvested roots.

Glycyrrhizin, the main constituent of licorice, is more than fifty times sweeter than cane sugar.. The powdered licorice root is employed as a natural sweetener in alcoholic and nonalcoholic beverages, tobacco, confections, and pharmaceuticals.
