Technical Details & Test Data
- Rhodiolife® is a Powerful Adaptogen
Built-In Stamina: A sturdy plant growing at high altitudes in the inhospitable Siberian mountains, Rhodiola rosea thrives in the harsh polar environment. This plant is known by the local people as the “golden root” because of the stamina it imparts when consumed.
Guaranteed Composition: Rhodiolife family provides the standardized compositions of the native root via sustainable harvesting of the plant in Siberia, and precise preparation of the extract.
These are “fingerprints” of the chemical composition of Rhodiola root and Rhodiolife extract. The compositions are virtually identical, ensuring the quality and benefits of RhodioLife.
- Standardization as a Prerequisite for Sustained Energy Mechanism
Rhodiola rosea has the traditionally well-deserved reputation for its stress relief, disease prevention and life extending action. The investigations conducted predominantly in Eastern Europe have shown that regular intake of the extract reduced mental fatigue and physical exhaustion. On the other hand, the similar design studies conducted in North America have indicated that Rhodiola rosea may possess antioxidant properties; but more clinical studies need to be done to confirm Rhodiola’s traditional uses(1).
At present, although more rigorous clinical studies of Rhodiola rosea need to be conducted, the importance of a well-standardized root extract emerges to ascertain a consistent presence of the active ingredients, i.e., rosavin, rosaridin, rosarin, rosin, salidroside and tyrosol, which are necessary for the adaptogen action.
Standardization of a wild grown herb like Rhodiola rosea starts with sustainable stewardship of natural resources to preserve Rhodiola’s natural habitat. The current harvest of the root from the Altai region of Siberia is a result of several years of a collaborative effort between selected plant extract manufacturers and the local farmers. An Export License by the Russian Government for the exportation of Rhodiola rosea roots from the Altai is required. Raw material collection is performed according to the WHO Guidelines of Good Agricultural Practices. Rhodiola is harvested after a minimum of four-year growth in the forests of the Altai regions of Siberia.
