Rhodiola, also known as the “ginseng of the Russians” is an adaptogenic plant, used to improve physical capacity, treat fatigue, impotence, anemia, depression, altitude sickness, gastrointestinal ailments as well as increasing longevity . Recommended as a stimulating tonic, as well as to combat times of stress, physical and mental fatigue, psychomotor function, and mild-moderate depressive states. Among its bioactive compounds, rosavins and salidroside stand out . The rosavins (rosavine, rosarine and rosin) belong to the group of phenylpropanoids and are specific to this species, and salidroside (also known as rhodioloside) is a derivative of phenylethanol. The mode of action of Rhodiola against stress is based on the modulation of the levels of cortisol (stress hormone), nitric oxide and stress response proteins (HSP or chaperones). Its antidepressant effect is due to the inhibition of monoamine oxidases, enzymes that degrade the neurotransmitters serotonin and adrenaline, and are involved in processes of depression and senile dementia.
