Description

Organic Rhodiola Rosea root extract has been used by people in Scandinavia and Russia for centuries as a natural remedy against lack of energy and fatigue. The arctic root contains more than 140 active ingredients, out of which two of the most potent are rosavin and salidroside. Many people find it helps with alertness throughout the day, but other effects are that it supports the immune system and reduce the cell damage caused by oxidants.

Arctic root has been studied for its potential to enhance cognitive function, including improvements in memory, focus, and overall mental performance. It may have a positive impact on mental clarity and alertness by modulating a certain neurotransmitter useful for processing speed.
