resistance to 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.

known as:
Rhodiola rosea, rhodiola
