Herbal Extract Boosts Fruit Fly Lifespan by Nearly 25 Percent - Science
Daily, 6/18/13 - "Rhodiola works in a manner
completely unrelated to dietary restriction and affects different molecular
pathways ... Rhodiola can act even in individuals who are already long-lived
and healthy. This is quite unlike resveratrol, which appears to only act in
overfed or unhealthy individuals ... Not only did Rhodiola improve lifespan
an average of 24 percent in both sexes and multiple strains of flies, but it
also delayed the loss of physical performance in flies as they aged and even
extended the lives of old flies ... Rhodiola has already shown possible
health benefits in humans, such as decreasing fatigue, anxiety and
depression; boosting mood, memory and stamina; and preventing altitude
sickness" - See

Rhodiola rosea: Nature’s antidepressant - Fox News, 9/10/12 -
"Over 300 human studies on Rhodiola rosea show that
the plant has anti-stress, anti-anxiety, and anti-depressant properties, and
that taking the extract of the root produces no significant negative effects
... Overall, Rhodiola rosea demonstrates greater effectiveness and safety
than pharmaceutical drugs for anxiety, depression and fatigue. So why don’t
more doctors recommend Rhodiola to their patients? They don’t know about it.
For many medical doctors, the herbal world is still a dark green jungle of
uncertainty"

Rhodiola for What Ails You? - Dr. Weil, 5/15/08 -
"A 2002 review in Herbalgram, the Journal of the
American Botanical Council, reported that over the years, numerous studies
of rhodiola in humans and animals have shown that it helps prevent fatigue,
stress and the damaging effects of oxygen deprivation. Evidence also
suggests that it has an antioxidant effect, enhances immune system function
and can increase sexual energy ... A study published in 2007 in the Nordic
Journal of Psychiatry showed that patients with mild-to-moderate depression
who took a rhodiola extract reported fewer symptoms than those who took a
placebo. And a study by researchers at the University of California at
Irvine found that fruit flies that ate a diet supplemented with rhodiola
lived an average of 10 percent longer than flies that didn't eat this herb"

Herbal Extract Found To Increase Lifespan - Science Daily, 12/5/07 -
"Flies that ate a diet rich with Rhodiola rosea, an
herbal supplement long used for its purported stress-relief effects, lived
on an average of 10 percent longer than fly groups that didn’t eat the herb
... Although this study does not present clinical evidence that Rhodiola can
extend human life, the finding that it does extend the lifespan of a model
organism, combined with its known health benefits in humans, make this herb
a promising candidate for further anti-aging research ... Rhodiola rosea ...
has been used by Scandinavians and Russians for centuries for its
anti-stress qualities ... patients taking a Rhodiola extract called SHR-5
reported fewer symptoms of depression than did those who took a placebo"

Anti-Photoaging Effect of
Rhodiola rosea Fermented by Lactobacillus plantarum on UVA-Damaged Fibroblasts
- Nutrients 2022 Jun 1 - "UVA can cause oxidative stress
and photoaging of cells. We established a UVA-induced oxidative stress model of
human fibroblasts and focused on the antioxidant and anti-photoaging ability of
Lactobacillus plantarum fermented Rhodiola rosea. Compared with the unfermented
Rhodiola rosea, Lactobacillus plantarum fermented Rhodiola rosea has better DPPH
free radical and hydroxyl free radical scavenging ability, significantly reduces
the content of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and improves the antioxidant
level. Further studies have shown that the Lactobacillus plantarum fermented
Rhodiola rosea can activate the Nrf2/Keap1 signaling pathway and up-regulate
heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), NAD(P)H quinone dehydrogenase 1 (NQO1), catalase (CAT)
and glutathione Peptide peroxidase (GSH-Px), and protect fibroblasts from
oxidative stress caused by UVA. On the other hand, Lactobacillus plantarum
fermented Rhodiola rosea significantly reduces the activity of
metalloproteinases in the cell, thereby increasing the collagen and elastin in
the cell, alleviating the photoaging caused by UVA. Finally, we concluded that
the antioxidant capacity and anti-photoaging ability of Lactobacillus plantarum
fermented Rhodiola rosea are better than that of unfermented Rhodiola rosea"

A combination of green tea,
rhodiola, magnesium and B vitamins modulates brain activity and protects against
the effects of induced social stress in healthy volunteers - Nutr Neurosci
2021 Apr 26 - "Green tea and
rhodiola have been shown to
modulate EEG oscillatory brain activity associated with relaxation and
stress
perception ... The combined treatment significantly increased EEG resting state
theta (p < .02) - considered indicative of a relaxed, alert state, attenuated
subjective stress, anxiety and mood disturbance, and heightened subjective and
autonomic arousal ... Conclusions: Mg, B vitamins, rhodiola and green tea
extracts are a promising combination of ingredients that may enhance coping
capacity and offer protection from the negative effects of stress exposure"

Effects of a
Rhodiola rosea extract on mental resource allocation and attention: An
event‐related potential dual task study - Phytother Res 2020 Jun 27 -
"A total of 50 adult participants were treated with 2 ×
200 mg R. rosea extract (Rosalin®, WS® 1,375) for 12 weeks and were subjected to
a neuropsychological test battery as well as an event-related brain potential
measurement in a dual task paradigm prior to administration, after 6 weeks and
after 12 weeks. The study followed a single-arm open-label design. Reaction
times improved for the attention network task (ANT), the Go/Nogo task, and the
divided attention task. Moreover, the orienting effect and the executive effect
in the ANT showed an improvement. The P3 component in a dual task paradigm was
increased in amplitude. The results of this pilot study show an improvement of
mental speed and moreover, suggest improved mental resources" - [Nutra

Actaea racemosa
L. Is More Effective in Combination with Rhodiola rosea L. for Relief of
Menopausal Symptoms: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study -
Pharmaceuticals (Basel). 2020 May; 13(5): 102 - "The aim
of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of a new herbal preparation
(Menopause Relief EP®), the hybrid combination of Actaea racemosa L. (black
cohosh, BC) and Rhodiola rosea L. (RR) root extracts, compared with the most
effective dose of BC extract in women with menopausal complaints ... A total of
220 women were randomly assigned to receive two capsules either BC (6.5 mg),
BC500 (500 mg), Menopause Relief EP® (206,5), or placebo once per day for 12
weeks. The efficacy endpoints were relief of menopausal symptoms, measured using
the Kupperman Menopausal Index (KMI), Menopause Relief Score (MRS), and
menopause Utian Quality of Life (UQOL) index ... The menopause symptom relief
effects of RR-BC were significantly superior in all tests to the effects of BC
and placebo after their repeated administration for 6 and 12 weeks. There was no
statistically significant difference between the effects of BC and BC500 over
time. RR-BC significantly improved the QOL index in patients, compared to BC,
BC500, and placebo, mainly due to the beneficial effects on the emotional and
health domains ... BC is more effective in combination with RR in relief of
menopausal symptoms, particularly psychological symptoms" - [Nutra

Tyrosol Reduces Amyloid-β
Oligomer Neurotoxicity and Alleviates Synaptic, Oxidative, and Cognitive
Disturbances in Alzheimer's Disease Model Mice - J Alzheimers Dis. 2019 Jun
21 - "Rhodiola rosea extracts and one of its main constituents, tyrosol,
significantly inhibited AβO-induced caspase-3 activation ... Immunohistochemical
analysis revealed that the immunoreactivity of spinophilin, a dendritic synaptic
protein, was significantly reduced in three hippocampal subregions of
vehicle-treated AD mice compared with non-transgenic mice, which was reversed in
tyrosol-treated AD mice. Tyrosol treatment also prevented the enhancement of
4-hydroxy-2-nonenal immunoreactivity in the hippocampal CA3 region of AD mice.
By contrast, tyrosol administration did not affect Aβ accumulation, as evaluated
by immunohistochemical and biochemical analyses. Moreover, the Barnes maze test
showed that tyrosol administration modestly mitigated spatial memory impairment
in AD mice. These findings collectively indicate that the natural agent tyrosol
protects neurons against AβO neurotoxicity in vitro and ameliorates synaptic
disturbance, oxidative stress responses, and cognitive impairment in vivo. We
thus suggest that tyrosol is potentially an effective, safe, and unique drug
candidate for AD"
