What is <\/strong>Rhodiola Rosea (4% Rosavins)?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Rhodiola Rosea, also known as Golden Root, Arctic Root, Rose Root, Russian Rhodiola and Aaron\u2019s Rod originates from\u00a0Siberia\u00a0and Northwestern\u00a0China and grows in the colder climates around the world. It is considered an adaptogen, meaning this natural plant source helps our bodies adapt to internal or external environmental stresses, and avoid any damage these could cause. These include health factors such as, stress, anxiety, depression, fatigue and sports endurance. BULK POWDERS\u2122\u00a0offers you a source containing an impressive 4% of the active compound Rosavins, giving you the maximum benefits of this extraordinary supplement.<\/p>\n

What does <\/strong>Rhodiola Rosea <\/strong>do?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Rhodiola Rosea basically works by inhibiting cortisol, the \u2018stress hormone\u2019 your adrenal gland secretes in response to stress, whilst increasing the \u2018happy hormone\u2019 serotonin. It will increase your resistance to daily physical, chemical and biological stresses, helping the body maintain homeostasis. Benefits documented include, strengthening the nervous system, fight depression, enhance immunity, increase exercise capacity, improve memory, aid weight loss and recovery and improve general energy levels.<\/p>\n

\u2018One particular study showed single-time use of Rhodiola Rosea (at a dose of 370mg or 555mg) in 161 male military cadets proved effective in aiding sleep deprivation and stress in comparison to the placebo.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2018Similarly another studied showed taking 200mg of Rhodiola Rosea 1 hour before endurance exercise helped improve performance.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n

These studies are encouraging by the fact they are based on single-time usage of Rhodiola Rosea, showing the effectiveness of this supplement. Other supplements can take a while to \u2018kick in\u2019 and start showing results, Rhodiola Rosea however, is something you can take once and still get great benefits from.<\/p>\n

Quantity and timing:<\/strong><\/p>\n

BULK POWDERS\u2122\u00a0recommends taking 0.3g (300mg) around 1-2 times daily. It is best taken with water and consumed just before or with food. This said, studies have shown mental performance benefits from as little as 170mg daily.<\/p>\n
