Rhodiola Rosea

adaptogen · nervous · Oral

Rhodiola Rosea, an adaptogen. Two primary bioactive classes: salidroside (phenylpropanoid glucoside) and rosavins (rosavin, rosin, rosarin —… Oral half-life 4 h.

Two primary bioactive classes: salidroside (phenylpropanoid glucoside) and rosavins (rosavin, rosin, rosarin — phenylpropanoid glycosides unique to R. rosea). Fast-onset adaptogen — stress / fatigue endpoints emerge within days, not weeks. Proposed mechanism: HPA-axis modulation + monoamine oxidase inhibition at mg-range doses + 5-HT / DA transporter effects.
