For the health condition: Stress
Synopsis
Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 3
Rosavins (mixed), which are active compounds found in Rhodiola rosea, have been studied for their adaptogenic properties, particularly in the context of stress relief. Several clinical trials and preclinical studies suggest that standardized extracts of Rhodiola rosea containing rosavins can help modulate the body’s stress response. The proposed mechanisms include regulation of cortisol levels, modulation of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, and enhancement of cellular energy metabolism.
Randomized, placebo-controlled trials in humans have demonstrated that Rhodiola rosea extracts may reduce symptoms of stress, fatigue, and anxiety, and improve overall well-being in individuals experiencing stress. For example, a 2012 study published in “Phytomedicine” showed a significant reduction in stress symptoms in participants taking Rhodiola extract compared to placebo. However, while these results are promising, many studies have limitations such as small sample sizes, short duration, and variability in extract standardization.
Overall, there is moderate scientific evidence (rated 3/5) supporting the use of rosavins (as part of Rhodiola extracts) for managing stress. More high-quality, large-scale trials are needed to firmly establish efficacy and clarify the optimal dosing and long-term safety.
