Rhodiola Rosea Mode of Action
Rhodiola Rosea is a plant treasured for the active constituents of its roots. The root contains more than 30 compounds which include glycosides. Its active glycoside salidroside (or rhodosine, rhodioloside) and a compound called rosavin are believed to be the active compounds in Rhodiola Rosea. Other plants in the Rhodiola family do not contain rosavin (1).
Rhodiola’s effects on the central nervous system and its effects on neural plasticity (4) are thought to be the mechanism behind its ability to reduce symptoms of work-related stress (2).
Rhodiola benefits people under chronic stress and improves their perceived stress levels (7).
In addition, Rhodiola may improve endurance during exercise performance because of its mediating effects of decreasing heart rate and the perception of effort during exercise (5). It may also boost anaerobic performance (6).
