Vitals RHODIOLA-LF 60 KAPSELN

The plant genus Rhodiola consists of more than 130 species. The best-known and best-researched species is Rhodiola rosea, or roseroot, 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 maintain resilience in stressful situations. It can also help with fatigue. The high-quality extract Rhodiolife® in Rhodiola-LF from Vitals contains a whopping 5% rosavins and 1.8% salidroside, the main active ingredients in rhodiola.

Health Effects*
The most important health effect of rhodiola is its adaptogenic effect. An adaptogen is an herb that supports resistance to external stressors and helps maintain biological balance. One of the ways it does this is by exerting a positive influence on the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis. The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis describes the interaction between these endocrine glands. In response to a stressful moment, the hypothalamus releases CRH (corticotropin-releasing hormone), which causes the pituitary gland to release ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone), which in turn activates the adrenal cortex to produce cortisol.

Rhodiola therefore has a regulating effect on cortisol levels. Rhodiola also contributes to a good balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic activity of the nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system is the part of the nervous system involved in action and response to danger and stress, while the parasympathetic nervous system is active during periods of rest and recovery. In this way, 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. Rhodiola is also good for cognitive functions such as learning, memory, attention and concentration. Rhodiola can also be a solution for athletes as it contributes to physical performance and endurance.

Rhodiolife® from Nektium
Vitals uses the high-quality extract Rhodiolife® from the Spanish manufacturer Nektium, the market leader in the field of rhodiola extracts, for Rhodiola-LF. Nektium is one of the few companies to have received official approval from the Russian government to sustainably harvest Rhodiola rosea from Siberia's pristine Altai Mountains and export it to Spain.

Nektium pays particular attention to processing the plant in the best possible way so that the entire spectrum of active ingredients is preserved. A high content of the most important components is also achieved through the extraction with water and alcohol. The high proportion of rosavins (5%) and salidroside (1.8%) is unique compared to many other rhodiola extracts on the market.

Since Rhodiola rosea is a very popular herb, fraud cannot be ruled out. For example, by replacing it with another species from the Rhodiola family that does not have the same effect. For this reason, Nektium uses a DNA test to check whether Rhodiola rosea is really being used and analyzes whether the extract contains the right active ingredients in the right amount. In addition to the DNA test, the presence of rosavins also proves that the product actually consists of Rhodiola rosea. So with Rhodiola-LF you can be sure that you are getting a high-quality and effective extract!
