The 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 period of competition is stressful, which is often accompanied by moving, flights. Adaptogen allows the athlete's body to more easily perceive any overloads, as well as avoid overtraining and hormonal changes; not to lose muscle mass and maintain appetite.

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

• stimulation of the central nervous system (higher performance and endurance);
• decreased levels of the hormone cortisol;
• Fatigue and fatigue are relieved 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 slowing down the aging process, improving appearance and feeling better in everyday life.
2. Immunomodulatory. Rhodiola strengthens the immune system and reduces inflammatory processes. The active substance salidroside plays an important role here. 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 the above factors and pathways are associated with inflammation ( International Journal of Molecular Medicine. 2016; 38(6): 1864-1870 ). Rhodiola extract reduces the synthesis of cyclooxygenase 1 and 2 enzymes, as well as phospholipase A2, reduces the release of arachidonic acid (one of the main factors of inflammation), affects the mTOR cascade, etc. (Journal of Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy. 2017; 95: 1815-1829).
3. Anti-stress. Accumulated stress manifests itself in emotional burnout and exhaustion, decreased concentration, often headaches (somatic symptom), and a constantly depressed mood. As a result, productivity decreases, and a negative attitude towards current activities (for example, work) may arise. Rhodiola rosea is able to reduce all the above symptoms by 90% after 4 weeks ( Journal of 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 in general increases, which allows you to improve the quality of life on both the physical and psycho-emotional levels.
