for Stress
Rhodiola is an adaptogenic herb used in Scandinavian and Russian traditional medicine to enhance mental performance and resistance to stress. It is particularly studied for stress-related fatigue.
How it works
Active compounds rosavin and salidroside modulate cortisol release and stimulate noradrenaline and serotonin activity. May improve mitochondrial function under stress conditions.
What to watch for
Can be stimulating — take in the morning, not before sleep. May interact with antidepressants. Avoid in bipolar disorder. Start low (200mg) and adjust to response.
