Rhodiola rosea (Golden Root, Roseroot, Aaron’s Rod) is a plant in the Crassulaceae family that grows in cold regions of the world. These include much of the Arctic, the mountains of Central Asia, the Rocky Mountains, and mountainous parts of Europe, such as the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathian Mountains, Scandinavia, Iceland, Great Britain and Ireland. The perennial plant grows in areas up to 2280 meters elevation. Several shoots grow from the same thick root. Shoots reaches 5 to 35 cm in height. Rhodiola rosea is dioecious, having separate female and male plants.
It has been used for centuries as a traditional medicine in Russia, Scandinavia and several other countries. Rhodiola is referred to as an adaptogen with a vast array of benefits, the most interesting of which (for bodybuilders) is its ability to increase adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthesis in cells during prolonged bouts of intense exercise. ATP is the major source of energy for all cellular reactions. Since Rhodiola helps to increase ATP levels, it can significantly prolong the body’s ability to withstand intense exercise.
Rhodiola maintains an excellent safety profile when it is used as directed. A 100mg-300mg dose is recommended to promote healthy cognitive functions such as focus, attention, concentration, memory and mental sharpness. A 100mg-300mg dose is also recommended to relieve occasional nervousness, nervous tension, and anxiety or a depressed mood caused by everyday stress.
Side effects are rare and have been documented as mild to moderate in clinical study. They may include headache, gastrointestinal discomfort, drowsiness, dizziness or sleep difficulty. In the event that you experience an adverse reaction, discontinue use of this herb. Rhodiola rosea does not cause withdrawal or discontinuation effects.
