Table of Contents
1. Characteristics and appearance of the plant
Rhodiola rosea is a perennial plant in the grass family, which grows mainly in the cold regions of the Northern Hemisphere. It is found in Asia (especially Siberia), North America (Alaska, Canada), and in the mountainous regions of Europe. It can also be found in Poland, but only in the Sudetenlands and the Carpathians.2. The chemical composition
The most characteristic are derivatives of cinnamon alcohol phenylopropanoids. These substances are commonly referred to as rosin, which is why their presence is the basis for plant identification. Another important group found in the golden root are phenolic compounds. These include mainly: salidorous, monoterpenes, tryditerpens, flavonoids, organic acids (e.g. gallous), herbs, and cyanocyanic glycosides. The plant also contains essential oils, such as geraniol.3. Mountain variety has health benefits
Rhodiola rosea belongs to the adaptogens group of plants characterized by their enhancing effects on the human body. The compounds contained in plant raw materials affect both physical and mental fitness, reduce the effects of stress, and stimulate the body to return to homeostasis, or natural balance. They also exhibit high antioxidant potential, which can prevent the development of many diseases. In addition to mountain corals, the most well-known adaptogen include: Chinese citrus, Siberian ginseng, Ashoka kola, Bacopa monnieri, and maca.4. Support for cognitive functions
The bioactive compounds contained in the golden root have a beneficial effect on the human nervous system. They exhibit the ability to stimulate neurotransmitters such as noradrenaline, serotonin, dopamine and acetylcholine. Therefore, the mountain variety supports brain function and increases resistance to stress. In one study, it was shown that taking 170 mg of rose root extract per day for 2 weeks led to a 20% increase in cognitive function compared to the control group. In this study, short-term memory, concentration, cognition, perception, and psychological functioning were assessed.5. Reduced fatigue
Preparations based on Rhodiola rosea extract are recommended for people experiencing general weakness, drowsiness, lack of vitality and sustained decline in energy. In one study, parameters such as physical and mental fatigue, decreased motivation and activity, impaired concentration and quality of sleep were analyzed. 100 people of both sexes aged 1860 years were included in the study. Every day for 8 weeks, a supplement containing 400 mg of powdered mountain coral root extract was administered.6. It has antioxidant properties
The extract from the mountain rose has antioxidant properties. These properties are due to phenylopropanoids, as well as compounds belonging to flavonoids. Phenolic acids and catechins (especially epigallocatechin, galusan epigalocatechin and procydianine) play an important role, which are among the strong antioxidants. These substances protect the body from the harmful effects of free radicals, and therefore also from oxidative stress.7. Increased physical fitness
They also reduce the amount of creatine kinase of an enzyme present in the muscles that is involved in the body's energy transitions (its elevated values can indicate damage and inflammatory processes). Scientists suggest that the extract of rosemary protects muscle tissue from decay, improves performance in endurance exercise, and contributes to the loss of the sensation of intense exercise, but it is also important for people who do exercise, especially during exercise.8. Anti-depressants are effective
Research shows that the golden root has anti-depressant effects. Extract from the root of this plant reduces cortisol (the stress hormone) levels in the body. It also regulates the levels of chemicals in the brain responsible for well-being and mood, such as serotonin and dopamine. A study was conducted in nearly 90 people diagnosed with mild or moderate depression.9. Protecting the circulatory system
Golden roots are cardioprotective, meaning they have a protective effect on the heart they reduce local anemia, regulate blood pressure, prevent arrhythmias, increase the energy reserves of the heart muscle. These effects are mainly due to their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and stress-reducing properties.10. Rabies and neurodegenerative diseases
The use of Rhodiola rosea extract may prevent the development of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer' s or Parkinson' s disease.11. Support for metabolic functions
Mountain rosemary protects liver cells by activating the enzyme AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase) involved in fat and carbohydrate metabolism. Its growth results in the breakdown of fatty acids and their use as energy sources. It prevents fat from being stored and deposited in the liver, which can protect against the onset of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).12. How to use a mountain rose?
The most commonly used daily dose is between 200 and 600 mg of Rhodiola rosea root extract. It is recommended to take it in the morning or at noon, preferably 30 minutes before meals. In the evening the active substances can stimulate and make it difficult to fall asleep.13. Summary
In times of heightened tension, stress and fatigue, the use of mountain rose extract can be extremely helpful. People who are learning, active professionally or who exercise intensely can benefit from many benefits of supplementation. Rhodiola rosea is a safe herbal raw material At the right dose no side effects are observed. However, it should be emphasized that pregnant and breastfeeding women, as well as children under 12 years of age, should not use it.
