Benefits of Rhodiola for Athletes

Every athlete knows that any training is a stress for the body, without which progress is impossible. In addition, the competition period is stressful, often accompanied by travel and flights. Adaptogen makes it easier for the athlete's body to perceive any overload, as well as avoid overtraining and hormonal changes; do not lose muscle mass and maintain appetite.

Long-term Rhodiola supplementation (4 weeks) has been shown to reduce creatine kinase and lactate levels ( according to the Journal of Sports Medicine and Physical Fitness. 2010;50(1):57-63 ) - this means less burning and fatigue in the muscles, as well as faster regeneration of muscle tissue: the protective mechanisms of muscle cells are activated.

It is worth noting other positive effects for sports:

• stimulation of the central nervous system (higher performance and endurance);
• decrease in the level of the hormone cortisol;
• fatigue and fatigue are removed faster, which is important with frequent and intense training.

Other effects of Rhodiola rosea

1. Antioxidant. The plant extract has two important properties: protecting cells from free radical damage (reducing oxidative stress) and reducing cortisol levels. Together, this leads to a slowdown in the aging process, an improved appearance and a better well-being in everyday life.
2. Immunomodulating. Rhodiola strengthens the immune system and reduces inflammation. Here the active substance salidroside plays an important role. In particular, salidroside reduced the synthesis of interleukins 6 and 8, as well as the TNF factor, and affected the NF-kB and MAPK signaling pathways. All of these factors and pathways are associated with inflammation ( International Journal of Molecular Medicine. 2016;38(6):1864-1870 ). Rhodiola extract reduces the synthesis of cyclooxygenase type 1 and 2 enzymes, as well as phospholipase A2, reduces the release of arachidonic acid (one of the main factors of inflammation), the effect on the mTOR cascade, etc. ( Journal of Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy. 2017;95:1815-1829).
3. Antistress. Accumulated stress manifests itself in emotional burnout and exhaustion, decreased concentration, often headache (somatic symptom), constantly worsened mood. As a result, productivity decreases, a negative attitude towards the current activity (for example, work) may appear. Rhodiola rosea can reduce all of these symptoms by 90% after just 4 weeks ( Journal Phytotherapy Research. 2012;26(8):1220-1225 ). It increases the level of serotonin - the "hormone of joy." It is important that the cause of the stressful state is eliminated, and not just the consequences, and the body's resistance to stress as a whole increases, which improves the quality of life both on the physical and psycho-emotional levels.
