Aor Rhodiola Rosea With Ginseng 60 Veg Capsules

AOR Rhodiola Rosea With Ginseng 60 Veg Capsules:

Used in Herbal Medicine to help enhance physical capacity and performance in cases of physical stress. Can also help support healthy glucose levels as well as cognitive function, and reduce mental fatigue in cases of mental stress.

Rhodiola rosea and Panax ginseng are adaptogenic herbs, meaning that they support the body’s ability to handle stress. Rhodiola is a classic adaptogen in that it balances the levels of hormones and neurotransmitters normally associated with the body’s stress response. However, rhodiola is unique among adaptogens in that it has been clinically shown to contribute to increase energy and reduce cortisol, the body’s main stress hormone.

Panax ginseng has been shown to be beneficial for performance during periods of mental or physical stress such as in school or intense exercise, and to maintain balanced blood sugar utilization. Panax ginseng has been studied in populations varying from women experiencing menopausal symptoms to patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), in the latter of which it was shown to help with functional capacity.

Rhodiola Rosea with Ginseng provide herbal support for athletes, students, menopausal women, those who have physically or mentally demanding lifestyles, or for those with illnesses like COPD where exercise capacity is affected.

Research:

Cardiovascular Adaptation:

When lab animals are subjected to extreme cold or to massive doses of the stress hormone beating of their hearts is disrupted and the oxygen supply is temporarily cut off. While on Rhodiola supplements they experienced less damage to the muscle cells of the heart, and a balanced overflow of stress neurotransmitters.

As another example of the adaptive, balancing effect of Rhodiola, its key component salidroside has been found to provide blood sugar balancing benefits, after administrating both hypo- and hyper blood glucose inducing agents.

Physical Performance: 

Both Rhodiola rosea and Panax ginseng intake benefit physical performance in healthy adults.

Cognition:

In a study, a rhodiola rosea extract along with a combination of vitamins and minerals was given to 120 adults with physical and cognitive deficiencies and was able to address these deficiencies, symptoms such as exhaustion, decreased motivation, daytime sleepiness, sleep disturbances, concentration deficiencies, susceptibility to stress and irritability. 

Panax ginseng has been reported for its benefits of providing a sense of calmness during mental stress, and cognitive endurance during mentally demanding tasks.

How Do They Work?

Based on the animal studies rhodiola affected metabolism and transport of a variety of mood stabilizing neurotransmitters.
