More information about Rhodiola-LF

The plant genus Rhodiola consists of more than 130 species. The best known and most researched species is Rhodiola rosea or rose root, which grows in cold Siberia, among other places. Rhodiola has been used as an herbal preparation for over 2000 years. Rhodiola acts as an adaptogen. This means that rhodiola can help to maintain resilience in stressful situations. It can also provide support in case of fatigue. The high-quality extract Rhodiolife® in Rhodiola-LF from Vitals contains no less than 5% rosavines and 1.8% salidroside, the main active ingredients in rhodiola.

Health effects
The main health effect of rhodiola is its adaptogenic effect. An adaptogen is an herb that supports resistance to external stressors and helps maintain biological balance. It does this, among other things, by exerting a favorable influence on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis refers to the interplay between these endocrine glands. In response to a stressful event, the hypothalamus secretes CRH (corticotropin-releasing hormone), which causes the pituitary gland to secrete ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone), which in turn triggers the production of cortisol in the adrenal cortex.

Rhodiola thus has a regulating effect on the cortisol level. Rhodiola also contributes to a good balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic activity of the nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system is that part of the nervous system that is involved in action and the response to danger and stress, and the parasympathetic nervous system is active during times of rest and recovery. In these ways, rhodiola supports the ability to cope with stress.

Fatigue can occur after a period of stress. Rhodiola supports stress-related fatigue by contributing to ATP production in the mitochondria, among other things. Rhodiola is also good for cognitive functions, such as learning, memory, attention and concentration. Rhodiola can also offer a solution for athletes as it contributes to physical performance and endurance.

Rhodiolife® from Nektium

For Rhodiola-LF, Vitals uses the high-quality Rhodiolife® extract from the Spanish producer Nektium, market leader in the field of rhodiola extracts. Nektium is one of the few companies that has official permission from the Russian government to harvest Rhodiola rosea sustainably in the pristine Altai Mountains in Siberia and export it to Spain.

Nektium pays exceptional attention to processing the plant in the best possible way, so that the full spectrum of active substances is preserved. By means of extraction with water and alcohol, a high content of the most important components is also achieved. The high percentage of rosavines (5%) and salidroside (1.8%) compared to many other rhodiola extracts on the market is therefore unique.

Because Rhodiola rosea is a very popular herb, it can be subject to fraud. For example, by replacing it with another species from the rhodiola family that does not have the same effect. That is why Nektium checks with every production by means of a DNA test whether it really is Rhodiola rosea and analyzes whether the extract contains the right active ingredients in the right amounts. In addition to the DNA test, the presence of rosavines proves that the product indeed consists of Rhodiola rosea. With Rhodiola-LF you can therefore be sure that you have a high-quality and effective extract in your hands!
