indigenous to the polar artic regions of eastern Siberia, 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. Widely used
in Russia, the herbal Rhodiola rosea extract is known for its adaptogenic
activity, which increases the body's resistance to stress.
This herb is often used in herbal formulas for depression and
worry.
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.
Cardioprotective Benefits of Rhodiola Rosea - Eksp Klin
Farmakologie 1994
In a Russian study, an extract of Rhodiola rosea was
examined for its effects on the pattern of stress-induced cardiac damage
which was measured by enzyme accumulation in the heart. Rhodiola rosea was
found to prevent stress induced cardiac damage. Simultaneously, the extract was determined
to prevent both stress induced release of protiens and higher enzyme levels,
which can ultimately damage heart tissue. The findings suggest antistressor
and cardioprotective benefits of Rhodiola rosea without harmful effects on
the heart.
