Product Description
Rhodiola is an herb that people seem to easily adapt to, that is, they may notice improvement initially, but the effect will subside over time. It is therefore one of those herbs which should be cycled: once effectiveness has started to wear off, stop taking Rhodiola for a few weeks to re-sensitize to it, and begin again. (Dewitt, 2019) Among the complex mosaic of constituents within Rhodiola rosea that earn its status as a mighty adaptogen, rosavin and salidroside are the compounds recognized for the bulk of its neuroprotective properties (Calabrese et. al, 2023). Rhodiola extract featuring this tandem exerts a positive effect on neurotransmitter levels, which in turn benefits healthy central nervous system function and mood enhancement. Antioxidant action generated by Rhodiola further shields cognitive activity from emotional challenges that contribute to stress-related illnesses. Many have found that symptoms of bruxism (grinding the teeth), which can often be a factor in tinnitus (ringing/ roaring in the ears) are improved by Rhodiola, especially if magnesium supplementation has first been tried without noticeable improvement (Dewitt, 2019) (although an underlying magnesium deficiency could still be corrected, even if the bruxism symptoms aren’t improved).
