The root is also used in Scandinavia and Iceland. Medical students have used it to help them study. Even the Vikings used it to enhance endurance. China and the Rommans have also used the herb in their medicines. Animal studies indicate that it r4educes lefels of the stress hormone cortisol while optimizing key brain chemicals involved in mood. It also boosts systehesis of a molecule known as ATP which the cells need to produce energy. No side effects are known... only side benefits. Andrew Weil, noted herbalist has been taking the herb for 6 months notes "increased energy but nothing dramatic". Radio host Liz Sterling of Boca Raton, Fla clams that after taking it for 2 months "its as if my shoulders have bowered, and the stress just rolls off" ******************** http://www.herbalgram.org/wholefoodsmarket/herbalgram/articleview.asp? a=2333 http://www.anti-aging-guide.com/RhodiolaRosea.html http://www.nutricentre.com/store/naturalelixirstore/longevity/18.htm Reliable brands at present include Artic Root, Rosavin, Rhodax, Clear Energy and Longevia which cost $20 to $50 for a months supply. Look for bottles that say Rhodiola rosa and not Rhodiola sacra or other rhodiola species as these lack the active rosavin compounds |
