The first discoverers of the unique effects of Rhodiola rosea were the inhabitants of Central Asia, Russia and China. The root of the stonecrop was prescribed to promote energy, concentration and clear thinking. It was also used as a rejuvenating agent to promote vitality. There was even a popular saying "Whoever uses the root of the stonecrop will live more than 100 years.” To this day, Rhodiola rosea is an integral part of homeopathic medicine, especially in the Nordic regions and Asia, where the inhabitants of the mountains have long attributed magical effects to it and still use it to increase work abilities and to restore mental balance.

ADAPTOGEN - PROTECTION OF THE ORGANISM AGAINST STRESS
Rhodiola rosea protects our body from stress and helps us to cope better with it. It is one of the most important adaptogenic substances. The term adaptogen refers to substances that keep our body and mind in balance. They increase the body's resistance to stressful situations and improve the body’s ability to withstand changing conditions (to adapt to them, to acclimatize with them). They strengthen the body's resistance in a mentally demanding period, thus preventing a weakened body from quickly succumbing to various ailments. They give the body strength and vitality. Adaptogens have an exceptional ability to act where the body requires it, thereby stabilizing the various functional systems in the body and helping to maintain a stable internal environment.

Rhodiola rosea helps to combat stress and its consequences. By calming the body, it reduces mental fatigue and promotes mental well-being. It helps normal sleep patterns and supports proper brain function.

EFFECT ON COGNITIVE FUNCTIONS
Rhodiola rosea has positive effects on cognitive (mental) functions. These are one of the main areas of the human psyche. Through cognitive functions, one perceives the world around him/her, acts, reacts and manages various tasks. Thought processes give a person the opportunity to learn, to remember, to adapt to the constantly changing conditions of the environment.

POSITIVE EFFECT ON THE OVERALL PHYSICAL STATE OF THE BODY
Thanks to its effects, Rhodiola rosea strengthens the overall resistance of the organism and increases work and sports performance. It has a positive effect on the heart rhythm, the entire cardiovascular system and has antioxidant effects.
