Rhodiola Rosea

May 20, 2025


An adaptogenic herb that helps reduce the negative effects of stress on the body, supporting healthy immune and inflammatory responses.

Rhodiola rosea is a well-known adaptogen, similar to ashwagandha, that helps the body respond to and recover from stress. It has been shown to offer a wide range of benefits, including immune support, anti-aging properties, and a healthy inflammatory response.⁵⁷

Stress, Digestion & Nervous System Support

Stress is a common trigger for digestive issues. When the body is in a prolonged “fight or flight” state, digestion slows, gut motility is disrupted, and symptoms such as bloating or discomfort worsen.

Rhodiola helps normalize this response. In a 2012 clinical trial involving 101 participants experiencing stress-related symptoms, subjects reported improvement within just three days of supplementation, with continued progress throughout the study.⁵⁸

By calming the nervous system, Rhodiola may indirectly support smoother, more comfortable digestion.

Systemic Benefits

In addition to its role in managing stress, Rhodiola may support:

  • Healthy aging

  • Immune function

  • Fatigue reduction

  • Normal inflammatory balance

A review by Pu et al. confirmed Rhodiola's potential to support various inflammation-related health conditions. These findings were backed by clinical and experimental trials.⁵⁹
