Reflex Nutrition Rhodiola Rosea Review

Miracles For Men Product Rating           

The Rhodiola Rosea plant, also known as ‘golden root’ or ‘arctic root’, is found in very cold regions receiving intense sunlight such as Siberia. Popular in traditional medicine systems, it is claimed to have a variety of therapeutic effects. Specifically, it is said to improve mood, reduce depression, increase mental alertness and reduce fatigue and help ameliorate high altitude sickness.

Rhodiola Rosea has been classified by Russian scientists as an ‘adaptogen’ which, as the name suggests, are substances that help the body adapt to and counter the effects of biological, chemical and physical stress. This increased resistance to stress leads to a healthier immune system. Rhodiola influences levels and activity of monoamines and opioid peptides such as beta-endorphins, resulting in its beneficial effects on various body systems. Rhodiolia has been shown in various studies to improve work performance, reduce fatigue, and help conditions of sleeplessness, poor appetite, irritability, hypertension and headaches. Other claimed benefits point to its efficacy as an anticancer, cardio protective, and central nervous system enhancement compound.

There are several extracts of this plant containing the active ingredient including rosavin, rosarin, rosin and salidroside (and sometimes p-tyrosol, rhodioniside, rhodiolin and rosiridin), all varying in strength and purity. In addition, many brands do not show consistency between batches or containers of the extract. Reflex Nutrition’s Rhodiola Rosea is standardized to guarantee Rosavin and Salidroside levels. Since it is manufactured by Reflex Nutrition, it ensures consistent levels of potency and purity.

Although the cited benefits of Rhodiola Rosea are many, these findings need to be confirmed and validated by solid research. However, this is a natural remedy and probably safer than many allopathic medicines consumed without a second thought. Reflex’s brand of Rhodiola was rated 8 out of 10 by the Miracles for Men team for the following medicinal benefits it offers:

• Classified as an ‘adaptogen’, an exciting class of compounds that prime the body to deal with stress from the environment
• Boosts mental and physical performance and helps reduce fatigue
• Has anti-oxidant properties to help with post-exercise recovery and maintain a healthy immune system
• Helps in a variety of asthenic conditions such as sleep difficulties, poor appetite, irritability, hypertension and headaches
• Suitable in periods of stress e.g. during intense dieting, sporting competitions, heavy workouts, and/or trying to change body composition
• Protects against mutative changes, hence might have anti-cancer protective abilities

The prescribed serving size for Rhodiola Rosea is 1 capsule taken 1 to 2 times daily, or as prescribed by a health practitioner. High doses should be avoided. Some studies show Rhodiola to have the maximum benefit in an on/off cycle, with periods of non use interspersed with periods of use. Use Coincide Rhodiola supplementation with periods of stress to enable your body to adapt to the additional load.
