What is rhodiola?

Rhodiola ( Rhodiola rosea ) or rhodiola or rose stonecrop is a plant from mountainous regions (Alps, Pyrenees, etc.) of the crassulacea family.

It is used in herbal medicine to improve anxiety, depressive disorders and for its anti-fatigue effect.

It is a plant often described as an adaptogen.

What are the properties of rhodiola?

Rhodiola contains many substances:

  • organic acids (e.g., caffeic, chlorogenic, gallic)
  • flavonoids (e.g., kaempferol, rhodionin, rhodiolnine,...)
  • tannins
  • glycosides

Clinical studies have shown that rhodiola significantly improves resistance to stress and fatigue, with improved performance on psychotechnical tests.

Rhodiola has also shown some effectiveness on mild to moderate depression, allowing a reduction in stress and anxiety.

It can enhance the effect of certain antidepressants, but in this case must be used under medical supervision.

What are the health claims of Rhodiola?

There are no health claims validated by the EFSA regarding rhodiola.

Side effects and contraindications to the use of Rhodiola

Rhodiola does not have any notable side effects; its toxicity threshold is very low.

Its use is contraindicated in people suffering from bipolar disorder.

Its use with medications intended to treat depression must be carried out under medical supervision.

Rhodiola and Phytocea?

At Phytocea , we chose to incorporate Rhodiola into the ReLax formula for its adaptogenic and anti-stress properties. ReLax is a nutraceutical food supplement designed to manage sleep and temporary anxiety in adults.
