Functions of Rhodiola:

Anti-oxidant effect: it can protect the liver from damages

caused by a lipid type of peroxide.

Lower blood sugar: inhibits the increase of glycogen caused

by glucose and epinephrine.

Improves memory that has been damaged by drug or alcohol.

Adjusts the blood flow of the CNS.

Increases the flow volume of oxygen carrying blood to the

heart muscle; thus protects the muscle from damage caused by

lack of oxygen.

Anti-hypoxia: It may prevent hypoxia-induced biological changes

by either increasing intracellular oxygen diffusion and efficiency of

oxygen utilization or reducing hypoxia-induced oxidative damage

with its anti-oxidative ability; thus prevents high altitude sickness.

Helps prevent strokes caused by hypertension.

Improve exercise endurance - It has been used to improve or maintain

endurance performance of athletes during training or competition by

increasing biological factors associated with oxygen uptake. In-vivo

experiments have shown that oral treatment with R. rosea extracts in

rats can significantly prolong the duration of long-distance swimming

and activate the synthesis or re-synthesis of ATP in mitochondria which

acts as the main energy source for majority cellular functions and is

essential for locomotion and respiration.
