Rhodiola Root

Rhodiola Root

Rhodiola Root, Rhodiola Rosea, or commonly known as golden root. 

This plant grows in extremely cold environments such as the arctic. Because of this we like to think of her as a fierce fighter. Through the ups and downs of harsh conditions in her natural world - she does not break. Growth pushes through despite external forces. The knowledge she has acquired living in stressful conditions is exactly what she passes on to us, and why we chose to put her in our formulas. A unique aspect of Rhodiola compared to other adaptogens (herbs that help the body manage stressors) is the ability to lift mood and energy, while also helping to manage the other physical impacts of stress. When stress and fatigue become unbearable, the resilient Rhodiola Root can be called upon to help alleviate some of the load. While we want everyone to get this kind of lift, we consider her to be a special resource and carefully consider how much of this special herb is right for each stress profile. Respect for rhodiola is our motto over here.

Evidence based relief and benefits from this superherb:

  • Supportive while experiencing stress, anxiety, and mood fluctuation
  • A natural support for uterine health, menstruation, cramping, and bleeding
  • Adrenal hormone hero - when stress arrives, she helps minimize the downstream effects that take hormone out of balance
  • Well-being warrior - you feeling better is important, and Rhodiola is unique to lifting you up when you feel down. 
  • Adaptogen - she absorbs the impact of stress so you don’t have to.

We don’t like to make any claims to fame, but we do love our evidence-based resources. Here is a list of sources we lean on to back up the power of Rhodiola Root.
