Despite its beautiful name, roseroot (Rhodiola Rosea), also known as ginseng of the North, is a strong herb which has been used for over a thousand years.
Roseroot was an indispensable source of power to vikings who conquered the seas. It’s been also used by cosmonauts to boost their physical and mental performance on demanding space journeys. The Russians have researched the health benefits of roseroot ever since 1960´s.
Roseroot's benefits
Rosavins and salidrosides are the effective compounds which make roseroot such an effective herb. The further north the herb grows, the more effective the compounds.
Roseroot contributes to normal blood circulation, which is associated with brain performance and reactivity and contributes to optimal mental and cognitive activity.
Roseroot gives endurance for sports performances. It is an adaptogen that protects during physical stress.
It also helps maintain normal function of the circulatory system, in this way providing cells with oxygen and nutrients.
Dosage of roseroot
Even though roseroot is a strong herb, it is safe to use. However, there is no reason to take more than recommended.
The maximum dosage for adults is 2 herbal shots or 2 teaspoons of bottled extract. In our honey products the roseroot concentration is lower and thus there is no such limit to their use.
Children over three years of age can take roseroot. For 3-7 year old ones, half a dosage is enough. Honey products are not recommended to children under 1 year of age.
