Is Rhodiola an Adaptogen?

Rhodiola is recognised as an adaptogen, a category of natural compounds that assist the body in adapting to stress and maintaining homeostasis. By modulating the secretion of stress hormones such as cortisol and supporting adrenal gland function, rhodiola aids in managing both physical and mental stress.¹

Rhodiola for Immunity

Research indicates that rhodiola may support immune function. By alleviating stress and strengthening the body’s inherent defense systems, it can contribute to enhanced immunity. Rhodiola is thought to stimulate the activity of immune cells such as macrophages and natural killer cells, which are essential for protecting the body against infections and disease.² ³

Is Rhodiola Anti-Inflammatory?

Rhodiola exhibits anti-inflammatory effects by helping to decrease inflammation within the body. This action can be advantageous for managing conditions such as arthritis and other chronic inflammatory diseases. Its active compounds, including rosavins, inhibit key inflammatory pathways, supporting overall health and potentially lowering the risk of inflammation-related disorders.⁴ ⁵

Rhodiola for Energy and Athletic Performance

Recognised for its energising effects, rhodiola enhances oxygen utilisation and reduces physical stress during exercise. This leads to improved endurance, decreased fatigue, and enhanced athletic performance. Many athletes and fitness enthusiasts use rhodiola to increase stamina and accelerate recovery following intense workouts.⁶ ⁷
