Rhodiola rosea is a botanical that’s traditionally been used by Northern European societies that dwell in cold, high altitudes to help them adapt to the demands of being active in a physically challenging environment. Today, it’s being used by individuals all over the world who are looking to support energy and stamina, improve athletic performance, manage mood, and resist the unwanted effects of stress.
Chronic stress chips away at the body’s ability to stay chemically balanced. It contributes to health issues such as reduced resistance to infection, blood pressure problems, obesity, and other disease states. As an adaptogen, rhodiola improves your ‘stress-ability’, enhancing your mental and physical energy levels, productivity and performance during work and play when used regularly. In fact, rhodiola can be used to boost energy without adding the jittery effects that caffeinated beverages can have, because it’s naturally caffeine-free.
Pure Lab’s Rhodiola 250 mg is a single-ingredient formulation featuring Rhodiola rosea. It’s standardized to provide consistent levels of active therapeutic ingredients---something that non-standardized botanicals cannot guarantee. Pure Lab’s Rhodiola is intended for use as a complement to nutrient-based formulations for enhanced stamina and resilience against stress, such as Pure Lab’s Slow Release BioActive B Complex.
