Epidemics and poor ecology reduce immunity - the main defense of the human body against harmful factors. Adaptogens come to the rescue, returning youth and energy. In nature, there are more than 50 plant species with similar properties, but among them Rhodiola rosea or golden root occupies a special place.
The recipes for its use were carefully hidden by the emperors and were eventually lost. In the sixties of the last century, studies of the composition and properties of rhodiola were resumed. It turned out to be stronger than ginseng in terms of nootropic, antioxidant and anti-anxiety effects. It makes sense to learn more about this plant and its uses.
Improving performance and endurance
“After taking Rhodiola, you immediately feel a surge of energy! The reserve of strength is enough for a whole working day ”- this is a unanimous summary of patients who have been treated for chronic fatigue and fatigue. Plant components speed up metabolism, but unlike synthetic stimulants, they do not cause addiction.
Restoration of nerve tissue
Contrary to the belief that nerve cells do not regenerate, Rhodiola heals damaged nerve endings, especially in the brain tissue. This property prevents mental exhaustion, keeps a good memory until old age.
Anti-anxiety action

The root contains a lot of the trace element zinc, which increases the production of the main male hormone (testosterone) and stimulates protein synthesis, rejuvenating the male body.
Application in childhood and old age
The next plus of Rhodiola is its availability for all age groups. During flu epidemics in kindergartens in Novosibirsk, children over 5 years old were given pills with rhodiola. As a result, the incidence has decreased by 80%.
In adulthood, taking the plant retains a clear mind, good memory, energy.
It is impossible not to mention the use of Rhodiola for cancer, after chemotherapy and radiation. It is the only ginseng group that inhibits the growth of metastases.
