Effects

The adaptogenic properties, cardiopulmonary protective effects, and central nervous system activities of Rhodiola rosea have been attributed primarily to its ability to influence levels and activity of biogenic monoamines such as serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine in the cerebral cortex, brain stem, and hypothalamus. Golden Root combats the effects of asthenia, an emotional stress condition that is characterized by sluggishness, low motivation, muscle weakness, continual fatigue, labored breathing, palpitations and excessive sleeping. The effects of Rhodiola rosea are attributed to its influence on opioid peptides and endorphins, and also its ability to optimize serotonin and dopamine (neurotransmitters involved in depression) levels. One of the most interesting aspects of Rhodiola rosea use is the complete lack of side effects. A study was performed to test the effects of Rhodiola Rosea when stress or shear stress is caused by intense mental work (such as final exams). Such tests concluded that using Rhodiola Rosea improved the amount and quality of work, increasing mental clarity and reducing the effects of fatigue.
